Find the Best Stimulation Level for Your Pet
Important: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
The Elite Remote Trainers have 15 different Stimulation Levels. This allows you to choose the
Stimulation that is best for your pet.
Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your pet, it is time to find the Stimulation Level
that is best for him. This is called the Recognition Level.
A slight change in your pet’s behavior, such as looking around in curiosity, scratching at his
collar, or flicking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him.
Follow the steps below to find your pet’s Recognition Level:
1. Starting at Level 1 on the Digital Display, press the Stimulation button continuously for 1 to 2 seconds.
2. If your pet shows no reaction, repeat the Stimulation level several times before moving up to
the next level.
3. YOUR PET SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STIMULATION. IF THIS
HAPPENS, THE STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE
PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.
4. Move up through the Stimulation levels until your pet reliably responds to the Stimulation.
5. If your pet continues to show no response at Level 8, check the fit of the Receiver Collar. If your
pet has long or thick hair, contact our Customer Care Center to obtain a longer set of Contact
Points. Then go back to #1 and repeat the process. If this still does not yield any results, your
pet’s hair will need to be trimmed around the Contact Points.
If all of these steps have been done and your pet continues to show no reaction to the Stimulation,
see the “Test Light Instructions” section.
If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the Stimulation,
please contact Customer Care Center or visit our website at www.petsafe.net.
+2 Boost
A press of this button sends a signal to the collar to issue a correction that is 2 levels higher than
the currently selected level. For example, if the correction level is set at Level 2, a touch of the
+2 Boost button will correct at Level 4. Some trainers like instant access to a higher setting for
circumstances where the dog may not respond to lower levels, such as around high distraction.
The system will not correct higher than level 15.
