Teaching Basic Obedience
The “Sit” Command
1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar, and attach a
3 metre lead.
Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
2. Hold your lead and Remote Transmitter in one hand. Press and hold the Side Button to send
an Audible Tone to your pet while saying “Sit” and if necessary using your free hand to guide
your pet into a “Sit” position. Release the Side Button immediately when your pet sits. Repeat
this several times.
3. If your pet sits reliably on receiving the Audible Tone and the spoken “Sit” command, then
training is complete. Release your pet from the “Sit” position and praise him. If not, move on to
Step 4.
4. Hold the lead and Remote Transmitter in one hand. Press and hold the Upper Button to send
an Audible Tone and Stimulation to your pet while saying “Sit” and if necessary using your free
hand to guide your pet into the “Sit” position. Release the Upper Button immediately when
your pet sits. Repeat this several times.
5. If your pet now sits reliably on receiving an Audible Tone and Stimulation with the spoken “Sit”
command, he may now be ready to respond without Stimulation. Take a play break and then go
back and repeat from Step 2 with Audible Tone only.
Note: Keep your pet close to you while teaching the “Sit” command.
