FIND THE BEST STIMULATION LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG
IMPORTANT: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
The Remote Trainer has 8 different Stimulation Levels. This allows you to choose the Stimulation that is best
for your dog.
Once you have placed the Collar Receiver on your dog, it is time to find the Stimulation Level that is best for
him. This is called the Recognition Level.
A slight change in your dog’s behaviour, such as looking around in curiosity, scratching at his collar, or flicking
his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him.
FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW TO FIND YOUR DOG’S RECOGNITION LEVEL:
1. Starting at Level 1 on the Intensity Dial, press the Upper Button continuously for 1 to 2 seconds.
2. If your dog shows no reaction, repeat the Stimulation level several times before moving up to the
next level.
3. YOUR DOG SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STIMULATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE
STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT
THE PROCESS.
4. Move up through the Stimulation levels until your dog reliably responds to the Stimulation.
5. If your dog continues to show no response at Level 8, check the fit of the Collar Receiver. If your dog has
long or thick hair, replace the Contact Points with the longer set. Then go back to step 1 and repeat the
process. If this still does not yield any results, your dog’s hair will need to be trimmed around the
Contact Points.
If all of these steps have been done and your dog continues to show no reaction to the Stimulation, see the
“Test Light Tool Instructions” section.
If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the Stimulation, please
contact Customer Care Centre or visit our website at www.sportdog.com.
