Your unit comes equipped with two sets of contact points, medium and long. The
medium should be used with dogs having shorter hair; the long should be used with
dogs having longer hair. The contact points on the receiver, from the factory, are
medium length.
• Select level 1 (lowest) on your transmitter.
• Walk around and wait for your dog to become distracted.
• Without a verbal command, press the stimulation
button down for 2 or 3 seconds.
• To indicate that stimulation is being delivered, the red LED light on the transmitter
will remain illuminated for as long as the button is pressed. If the LED light begins
flashing every four seconds or does not illuminate, the battery should be replaced.
If after pressing the bottom/stimulation button the dog is still not responding to the
stimulation, even at level 10, then the contact points may need to be changed to ensure
better contact with the dog’s skin. If the dog still shows no response, then the dog’s hair
may need to be trimmed. This will allow the contact points to penetrate through the
hair and touch the dog’s skin.
NOTE: The stimulation will transmit for no more than 8 continuous seconds no matter how
long the button is pressed. To re-activate, release and re-press the button.
• Most dogs will turn their heads slightly in curiosity, scratch at the collar, or flick their
ears at the correct stimulation level.
• If your dog shows no reaction to the stimulation level, go up 1 level at a time until you
find the proper level for you dog.
• Since every dog is unique, it is important that you find the correct stimulation level
for your dog. Take your time with this exercise before increasing the stimulation level,
if needed.
NOTE: A slight change in your dog’s expression will let you know you are at the correct
stimulation level. Your dog should not vocalize or panic, if this happens the stimulation level
is too high. Go back to the previous level, and without using a verbal command, press the
stimulation button down for 2 or 3 seconds.
