The use of the training system should be

part of an overall training program.

Training Methods

Momentary stimulation: Applies a brief

stimulation when you press the training

key, regardless of how long the key is

depressed.

Continuous stimulation: Applies

stimulation to the dog the entire time

you press the training key, for a

maximum of 8 seconds. Your

stimulations should typically be much

shorter than 8 seconds.

Tone: Activates an audible tone instead of

stimulation. A tone can be used as

either a positive or negative training

cue, depending on your training

program.

Vibration: Applies vibration instead of

stimulation to the dog the entire time

you press the training key, for a

maximum of 8 seconds. The

effectiveness of vibration may vary

based on the dog's temperament and

experience.

Choosing the Correct

Intensity Level

1

Set the intensity to the lowest level.

2

Select a training key.

3

Observe the dog for a reaction, such

as a head shake, neck movement, or

just a change in expression.
Sometimes dogs will vocalize due to

the surprise of the electrical

stimulation. If the dog vocalizes more

than once, the intensity level is too

high for beginning training.

4

If there is no reaction, increase the

intensity level by one level until the

dog has a slight but recognizable

reaction to the stimulation.

The intensity level that causes a slight but

recognizable reaction is your dog's

baseline level for beginning collar training.

You do not need to, and should not, apply

this intensity selection test again.
After you begin training, the dog’s

performance guides your intensity

selection. As the dog advances in training,

you may need to change the level

depending upon the training situation.
