Training Guide
General Tips
:
Eliminate one misbehavior or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with
training, your pet may become confused.
:
Be consistent. Correct your pet every time he misbehaves.
:
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 tones by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention to a simple and
appropriate behavior, such as the “sit” command.
:
Pets should be at least 6 months old before using the Trainer.
:
Only let responsible family members use the Trainer. It is not a toy!
:
Other pets in hearing range will be affected by the training tones. Therefore, training sessions should
be conducted out of hearing range of other pets.
Never use the Remote Trainer to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive
behavior. If you are unsure if your dog is aggressive, please consult your
veterinarian or a certified trainer.
Teaching Your Pet Tone A (Low Tone)
Before using the Trainer to correct your pet, spend 10 to 15 minutes per day for 2 or 3 days helping him
create the association of the tone with reward and praise. To accomplish this:
1. Push the Tone A button for 2 consecutive seconds.
2. Release the button and immediately reward your pet with verbal praise, petting, or a small food reward.
Spend 3 to 5 seconds on your rewarding.
3. Wait a few minutes and repeat holding the Tone A button for 2 seconds following with praise.
Vary the reward to prevent your pet from anticipating a specific type. This stage of training is complete
when your pet obviously anticipates a reward when he hears the low tone.
Using Tone B (High Tone)
As soon as your pet begins the earliest sign of misbehavior, press the Tone B button. For example, if
you want to teach your dog to stay off the couch, press the Tone B button as soon as he puts one paw
on it. Do not wait until he is completely on the couch.
1. Hold the Tone B button for up to 2 seconds at a time, releasing the button as soon as your pet stops
the misbehavior.
