Teaching Basic Obedience
The “Sit” Command
1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck above the training collar, and attach a
3-metre lead.
NOTE: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the contact points.
2. Hold the lead and your smartphone in one hand. Keep your other hand free to guide your pet
into a “Sit” position.
3. Simultaneously give the “Sit” command and hold the tone button for 1 to 2 seconds followed
immediately followed by continuously holding the vibration button.
4. If your dog does not respond to vibration after repeated attempts, switch to static stimulation at
your dog’s recognition level.
5. Release the stimulation button as soon as your pet is in position, and
praise him.
6. Release your pet from the “Sit” command and play.
7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6.
NOTE: If your pet breaks the “Sit” command, repeat steps 3 through 6.
Keep your pet close to you while teaching the “Sit” command.
The “Come” Command
1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck above the training collar and
attach a 3-metre lead.
NOTE: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the
contact points.
2. Hold your lead in one hand and your smartphone in the other.
3. Wait for your pet to walk away from you.
4. Simultaneously give the “Come” command while holding down the tone button for
1 to 2 seconds, immediately followed by continuously holding the vibration button.
5. Using the lead, gently guide your pet toward you until he begins to come in
your direction.
6. Immediately release the vibration button as soon as your pet steps towards you,
and praise him enthusiastically.
7. Quickly move backwards as your pet begins to come back to you, praising him the
entire time.
8. Praise your pet when he returns to you.
9. Repeat Steps 3 through 8.
10. If your dog does not respond to vibration after repeated attempts, switch to static
stimulation at your dog’s recognition level.
11. Once your pet responds readily to the “Come” command several times, back
away from him without giving a command. When your pet turns toward you, give
the command “Come” (without stimulation) and praise him while you continue to
back up. Praise your pet when he returns to you.
