FIND THE BEST INTENSITY LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG
The SportHunter
®
1325 has multiple intensity levels. This allows you to choose the stimulation
that is best for your dog.
NOTE: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
For training effi ciency, it is important to fi nd the right intensity level for your dog. This is called the
Recognition Level, at which your dog looks around in curiosity or fl icks 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 fi tted 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 fi nd 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 the 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.

2. The Collar Receiver should fi t snugly, yet loose enough to allow one
fi nger to fi t between the strap and your dog’s neck (

3. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then
recheck the fi t. Check the fi t again as your dog becomes more
comfortable wearing the Collar Receiver.
