beeps/orange fl ashes equals the desired stimulation range shown in the chart below.

GENERAL TRAINING TIPS
BEFORE TRAINING YOUR DOG WITH THIS PRODUCT
You will have the most success using this remote trainer if you always remember to teach a command
before trying to reinforce the command with a remote trainer. We recommend that you read the
enclosed Training Guide and watch the enclosed DVD before training with this remote trainer. Your
training will be easier and proceed faster if you follow the guidelines in these teaching assistants. In
addition, always keep the following training tips in mind:
• Eliminate one misbehavior or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with the
training, your dog may become confused.
• Be consistent. Give your dog a tone, vibration and/or stimulation with each misbehavior.
• Do not overcorrect your dog. Use as few stimulations as possible to train your dog.
• Restrict your dog from situations in which he has a history of misbehaving unless you can supervise
him and use the UplandHunter
®
1875 for applying tone, stimulation or vibration.
• If you notice one situation in which your dog misbehaves repeatedly, set up this situation as a
training session. This will dramatically increase your chances of success.
• If your dog has a timid reaction to the tone, stimulation or vibration (especially the fi rst couple of
times), do not be alarmed. Redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate behavior (i.e. a known
command, such as “Sit”).
• Never use the UplandHunter 1875 to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behavior. If your dog
exhibits such behavior, contact a professional trainer. Aggression in dogs is the result of many
factors – it may be a learned behavior or it may be brought on as a result of fear. Another factor
contributing to aggression in dogs is social dominance. Every dog is different.
At this point, your remote trainer is ready to use. The transmitter is factory set to mode 1, but you may
wish to change the mode to fi t your situation. See Step 6, for an explanation of mode options.
