Find the Best Stimulation Level for Your Pet
Important: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
The PUL-275BM has 5 different Stimulation Levels. This allows you to choose the Stimulation
that is best for your dog.
Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your dog, it is time to fi nd the Stimulation Level
that is best for him. This is called the Recognition Level.
A slight change in your dog’s behavior, such as looking around in curiosity, scratching at his
collar, or fl icking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him.
Refer to the PUL-275 Receiver Collar manual on instructions to change correction levels.
1. Start at Level 1.
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 fi t of the Receiver Collar. If
your dog has long or thick hair, replace the Contact Points with the longer set. Then go back to
#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 Instructions” section.
If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the Stimulation,
please contact Customer Care Center or visit our website at www.dogsafe.net.
General Tips
• Eliminate one misbehavior or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with
training, your dog may become confused.
• Be consistent. Correct your dog every time he misbehaves.
• Unless you can supervise him, it is recommended that you restrict your dog from situations in
which he has a history of misbehaving. However, setting up a situation as a training session can
dramatically improve your chances of success.
• If your dog reacts to the tones by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention to a simple and
appropriate behavior, such as the “sit” command.
• Dogs should know basic obedience commands like sit before using the Wireless Crate
™
.
• Only let responsible family members use the Wireless Crate
™
. It is not a toy!
• Other dogs in hearing range will be affected by the training tones. Therefore, training sessions
should be conducted out of hearing range of other dogs.
• For best results, place the Wireless Crate
™
against the wall, in a corner, or at the end of a hallway
for the initial training session. You may move it later, after the dog is trained to use the crate.
• Attach a short leash to your pet’s regular collar. Never attach a leash to the PetSafe Receiver
Collar.
• Keep some of your pet’s favorite treats nearby to reward him during training.
• Make it fun! Keep your voice and actions light and friendly. Your dog should enjoy using and
staying on the Wireless Crate
™
.
