Doggie Doorbell
Installation and Training
Training your dog
to ring the Pebble
Smart Doggie Doorbell is a rewarding
experience. Be patient and don’t expect
results right away. Do short and fun
sessions daily. Here are the steps for
installation and training.
Installation
D
Install 2 new AA batteries (not included)
in the receiver.
D
Separate the adapter cover from the
housing, by gently pulling the bottom
hook downward.
D
Hold both sides of the transmitter
button and slide the transmitter out of the
housing, bottom first.
D
On the back of the transmitter, pull out
the plastic tab. This will activate the
transmitter battery. Push the transmitter
to test. The receiver should sound.
Note:
If your dog is sensitive to sound, do not
test with the receiver close to him.
D
If you have a single pack, decide if you
want your dog to use the doorbell when
he comes in or goes out. Then select
accordingly either an inside or an outside
location on the wall near the door. If you
have a twin-pack, select a location on both
sides.
Note:
For indoor installation, a
wood or glass surface is more preferable
than a drywall surface. (See caution
below.)
D
With your dog in standing position, hold
his head up slightly and mark the height of
his nose.
D
Thoroughly clean the mounting area
above the mark.
D
Peel the paper off the mounting tape
on the back of the housing.
Caution:
For
indoor installation, especially on a drywall,
expose only the ends of the mounting
tape by folding the two ends of the paper
toward the center. This will help reduce
the chance of damaging the wall surface
during removal. See the Notes section for
alternative mounting methods.
D
With the
inside arrow pointing upward
,
press the housing firmly onto the wall, just
above the mark
.
D
Replace the transmitter inside the
housing.
D
Hook the adapter cover over the
housing and snap the hook in at the
bottom.
D
Push the paddle to test. You should
only need to push gently to trigger the
receiver.
If your dog is sensitive to sound
, you can
acclimate him to the sound of the doorbell
by placing the receiver in another room
and gradually bring it closer.
D
Adjusting volume and tune:
Press the volume control button to cycle
through the 4 volume levels. Press the
tune selector to change to a new tune.
There are 36 tunes in a cycle. Replace the
batteries will reset the volume and the
tune to the factory defaults.
Training
Now the fun begins!
With either method
below, training with a clicker will quicken
the process. Use a reward that best
motivates your dog, his favorite treats,
games, etc. Train one step at a time with
repetitions until your dog has got it and
only then move on to the next step. Keep
each session short, about 5 minutes. Have
one or two sessions a day.
Method 1: Using Treats as Lures
D
Step 1:
Hold a piece of your dog’s
favorite treat with your fingers and let him
sniff it. Lure his nose toward the paddle
and drop the treat in the treat holder
behind it. Say “Ring the bell!” (or another
command of your choice).
As soon as he touches the paddle, praise
(or click) and reward him with a different
piece of treat. Repeat this step.
