Training Guide
General Tips
• Eliminate one misbehaviour or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast
with the training, your pet may become confused.
• Be consistent. Give your pet an Audible Tone or Stimulation with each misbehaviour.
• Do not over-correct your pet. Use as few Stimulations as possible to train your pet.
• Unless you can supervise him, it is recommended that you restrict your pet from situations in
which he has a history of misbehaving. However, setting up a situation as a training session can
dramatically improve your chances of success.
• If your pet reacts to the training by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention to a simple and
appropriate behaviour such as the “Sit” command.
• The Lower Button can be used to deliver a slightly higher Stimulation Level on occasions when
your pet ignores his Recognition Level. Using this button is a quicker alternative than adjusting
the Intensity Dial.
• Never use the Remote Trainer to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behaviour. If you
are unsure if your pet is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certifi ed trainer.
• The objective is to train your pet to respond to your spoken command and the Audible Tone
from the receiver in normal circumstances. After proper training, the use of Stimulation should
only be necessary if your pet repeats unwanted behaviour.

Teaching Basic Obedience
Note: Keep your pet close to you while teaching the “Sit” command.
The “Sit” Command
1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar, and attach a
3 metre lead. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
2. Hold your lead and Remote Transmitter in one hand. Press and hold the Side Button to send
an Audible Tone to your pet while saying “Sit” and if necessary using your free hand to guide
your pet into a “Sit” position. Release the Side Button immediately when your pet sits. Repeat
this several times.
3. If your pet sits reliably on receiving the Audible Tone and the spoken “Sit” command, then
training is complete. Release your pet from the “Sit” position and praise him. If not, move on to
Step 4.
