• The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge before the first use.
• When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give batteries a full charge. This
should be done once every 3 to 4 months.
• You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your batteries. However, all rechargeable
batteries lose capacity over time relative to the number of recharge cycles they experience. This is
normal. If your operating time drops to half of the original life, contact the Customer Care Center to
purchase a new battery.
• The batteries should last for a period of 3-5 years. When a battery needs replacement, you can order
a new pack by calling our Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144. Please do not open the Collar
Receiver or Remote Transmitter until you have received the replacement.

STEP::03
FIT THE COLLAR RECEIVER
IMPORTANT: The proper fit and placement of the Collar Receiver is important for effective training.
The Contact Points must have direct contact with your dog’s skin.
To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:
1. With your dog standing (3A), center the Collar
Receiver so the Contact Points are underneath
your dog’s neck, touching the skin (3B). If your
dog has a long or thick coat, you have two
options to ensure consistent contact: either
trim the hair around the Contact Points or
switch to the longer Contact Points included with your system.
2. The Collar Receiver should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow one finger to
fit between the strap and your dog’s neck (3C).
3. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then recheck the
fit. Check the fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable wearing the
Collar Receiver.

FIND THE BEST INTENSITY LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG
Your YardTrainer System has multiple intensity levels. This allows you to choose the static stimulation
that is best for your dog. 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.
NOTE: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
