TRAINING
Always start training your dog with the
lowest stimulation, and increase to a
higher level only if necessary. You will
know when you’ve reached the right
level when your dog responds by
twitching his head, neck, or shoulders,
or by perking up his ears. If the dog
vocalizes, you need to go to a lower
level.
When Ranger is in C
Co on nttiin nu uo ou us s mode,
you control the duration of the
stimulation by the length of time you
press the Stimulation button. For a short
stimulation, press and release the
button. For a longer stimulation, hold the
button down. A maximum of 10
seconds of Receiver stimulation may be
applied before the safety lockout feature
((O
Ovve err--s sttiim mu ulla attiio on n p prro otte ec cttiio on n,, s se ee e b be ello ow w))
starts.
When Ranger is in M Mo om me en ntta arryy mode,
each stim button press (Stim or Alt Stim)
produces one stim at the Receiver collar.
Release the stim button in order to
deliver another momentary (nick, or brief
tap) stim.
Over-Stimulation Protection
The Transmitter can transmit continuously
(Tone or Stim) for up to 10 seconds. If
you attempt to transmit continuously for
more than 10 seconds, the transmitter
enters a 10 second lockout mode during
which time no transmissions are allowed.
Training Tone Option
The Tone button causes the collar to
produce a sound. No stimulation is
delivered when the Tone button is
pressed. The tone continues for as long
as the button is held down, up to 10
seconds. A tone can help strengthen a
dog’s response to training. The tone can
be used as a warning tone prior to
pressing the stimulation button; or can
be a reward tone when presented with
praise, play, or food for good behavior.
The use of a training tone is optional. Its
use varies among popular training
methods. Some trainers choose to use
the tone option as a warning tone prior
to stimulation, others prefer to use the
tone option as a reward tone, and still
others prefer to not use it at all. It is
imperative for successful dog training to
use the tone option consistently through-
out the training process. Whether the
tone will mean reward or warning to your
dog is up to the training method yyo
ou u
c ch ho oo os se e.
Remember: the training tone
CANNOT be both a warning tone
and a reward tone. To learn more about
tone training, consult a qualified dog
training professional.
