training your pet with tone
Note: 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.
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 Button (Green) 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 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 Tone.
find the Best Vibration Level for your pet
Important: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
The Vibration Remote Trainer has 8 Low and 8 High Vibration Levels. This allows you to choose the Vibration
Level that is best for your pet.
Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your pet, it is time to find the Vibration 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 Low on the Digital Display, press the Vibration Button (blue) continuously for 1 to 2 seconds.
2. If your pet shows no reaction, repeat the same Vibration Level several times before moving up to the
next level.
3. YOUR PET SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING VIBRATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE
LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.
4. Move up through the Vibration Levels until your pet reliably responds to that level.
5. If your pet continues to show no response at Level 8 High, check the fit of the Receiver Collar. If your pet
has long or thick hair, your pet’s hair will need to be trimmed around the Vibration Points.
Do not shave the pet’s neck as this may increase the risk of skin irritation.
If, after completing all of these steps, your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the Vibration, please contact
Customer Care Center or visit our website at www.petsafe.net.
