FIND THE BEST INTENSITY LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG
Your SportDOG Brand
®
remote training system has multiple intensity levels. This allows you to choose the
static stimulation level that is best for your dog.
NOTE: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
For training efficiency, it is important to find the right intensity level for your dog. This is called the
Recognition Level, at which your dog looks around in curiosity or flicks his ears.
FINDING YOUR DOG’S RECOGNITION LEVEL:
NOTE: Every dog is different and you cannot predict where your dog’s Recognition Level will be. Watch
closely for any slight change in behavior that demonstrates your dog is feeling the static stimulation.
1. With the Collar Receiver turned on and properly fitted to your dog, set the Remote Transmitter’s
Intensity Dial at Level 1 and press the Continuous Static Stimulation Button for 1 to 2 seconds.
2. If your dog shows no reaction to Level 1, go to Level 2 and repeat the process.
3. YOUR DOG SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STATIC STIMULATION. IF THIS
HAPPENS, THE STATIC STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE
PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.
4. Once you find your dog’s Recognition Level, this is the level you should use when you begin a training
exercise.
5. If you have progressed to Level 7 while searching for your dog’s Recognition Level and your dog
continues to show no response, check to see if the Collar Receiver is snug against your dog’s
neck. Then go back to Intensity Level 1 and repeat the process. If your dog still does not indicate
he is feeling the static stimulation, you have three options: trim the hair beneath the Contact Points,
switch to the longer Contact Points included in your system, or change to a higher static stimulation
range.
If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the static stimulation,
please contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144.

CHANGING STATIC STIMULATION RANGES
Your SDR-AF, SDR-AS, or SDR-AC Collar Receivers come with 2 stimulation ranges
(low and medium for the
SDR-AF; medium and high for the SDR-AS/SDR-AC)
. There are 7 stimulation levels within each range, with 1 being
the lowest and 7 being the highest. The default range setting is 2 (medium) for the SDR-AF and 3 (high) for the
SDR-AS/SDR-AC.
To change the range of stimulation, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the Collar Receiver is off.
2. Then turn the unit on by pressing and releasing the On/Off Button.
3. After the Indicator Light turns off and within 5 seconds, press and hold the On/Off Button for 3 seconds.
4. The Collar Receiver will then beep once and the Indicator Light will flash orange. This indicates
Low
stimulation range. If
Medium
or
High
are desired, continue to hold the On/Off Button until the number of
beeps/orange flashes equals the desired stimulation range shown in the chart below.
5. Release the On/Off Button once the desired range is selected; the Collar Receiver will turn off.
6. Turn the unit back on. It will then beep according to the stimulation range selected in Step 4.
