Rubbish Raiding
The easiest way to prevent rubbish raiding is to remove rubbish and tempting food from your pet’s environment. You can use the
SMART DOG
™
Trainer to teach your pet to stay away from these items; however, you must be prepared to correct your pet every
time he approaches them.
1. Choose the stimulation level 1 higher than your pet’s
recognition level.
2. Pick a temptation for your pet and position yourself where he
cannot see you.
3. While your pet’s mouth is touching the temptation, press
and hold the tone button for 1 to 2 seconds immediately
followed by the stimulation button. Immediately release the
button when your pet leaves the temptation.
4. Do not say anything, as you want your pet to associate the stimulation with his behaviour, not you.
5. If your pet does not respond to the stimulation, increase the level by 1 and repeat the process.
6. Repeat this process in several different locations with different temptations.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the static stimulation safe
for my pet?
While the stimulation is unpleasant, it is harmless to your pet.
How old does a pet have to
be before using the SMART
DOG
™
Trainer?
Your pet should be able to learn basic obedience commands such as “Sit” or “Stay”
and be at least 6 months old before using the trainer. The training collar may be too
large for dogs under 3.6 kg.
Once my pet is trained
and has been obeying my
commands, will he have
to continue to wear the
training collar?
Probably not. He may need to wear the training collar from time to time for reinforcement.
Is the training collar
waterproof?
Yes.
How long should I
continuously deliver
stimulation to my pet?
The maximum amount of time you can deliver stimulation to your pet is 10 seconds.
After ten seconds, the app will time-out, and the continuous stimulation button must be
released and pressed again.
