Find the Best Stimulation Level for Your Pet

Important: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.

The Remote Trainer has 8 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 fi nd 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 fl icking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him. 

Follow the steps below to fi nd your pet’s Recognition Level:
1. Starting at Level 1 on the Intensity Dial, 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 fi t of the Receiver Collar. If 

your pet has long or thick hair, replace the Contact Points with the longer set. 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.
