+2 Boost
Pressing the +2 Boost Button (Red) sends a signal to the Receiver Collar to issue a Vibration that is 2 levels
higher than the currently selected level. For example, if the Vibration Level is set at Level 2 Low, pressing the
+2 Boost Button will stimulate at Level 4 Low. Note: The system can not exceed the 8 High Vibration Level.
Dog training recommendations
When Training Begins: Training starts the moment you bring your puppy home. While your dog will not be
ready for the PetSafe
®
products until he has matured, you should begin basic training immediately.
Remain the Leader: Stop your dog from becoming “collar wise”. An easy solution known as “Collar
Conditioning” will help prevent the dog from listening only when wearing the Receiver Collar and disobeying
when he is not wearing it. First, fit the Receiver Collar on your dog. Second, immediately take your dog outside
or do something he enjoys; don’t activate the Receiver Collar. Let the dog wear it during non-training sessions.
Your dog should believe wearing the Receiver Collar can also result in having fun. It should not be perceived as
punishment. Place the Receiver Collar on and off the dog at various times for short or longer periods to make
wearing it a normal routine. Similarly, don’t let the dog learn to obey only when he sees the Handheld Remote.
Also carry the Handheld Remote, but don’t use it all the time. How long should this process take? Professional
trainers’ opinions vary from a few days to a couple of weeks.
Focus on the Dog: Professional trainers’ opinions vary on some issues, but all users of remote training
systems strongly recommend watching your dog, not the Handheld Remote, when training. PetSafe
®
products
are specifically designed to make this task simple. It is easy and you should find the point where your dog first
perceives the Vibration. See “Find the Best Vibration Level for Your Pet”.
