FIND THE BEST INTENSITY LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG
The ProHunter
®
2525 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 tells you your dog is feeling the 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 a Continuous 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 STIMULATION. IF THIS
HAPPENS, THE STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS
LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS OR MOVE TO A LOWER STIMULATION RANGE (SEE BELOW).
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 9 while searching for your dog’s Recognition Level and your dog
continues to show no response, check to see if 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 stimulation, you have two options: you may either have to trim the hair beneath the
Contact Points or switch to the longer Contact Points included in your system.
If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the stimulation, please
contact Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144.
CHANGING STIMULATION RANGES
The ProHunter

2525 Collar Receiver comes with 3 stimulation ranges (low, medium and high). There

1. Make sure your unit 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 fl ash orange. This indicates
Low
stimulation range. If
Medium
or
High

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