Load Treats or Food
A
Choose a dry or semi-moist dog treat or kibble.
The Treat&Train™ requires dry dog food, dry
treats, or semi-moist treats that fit through the
food disc holes on either the large or small-sized
kibble disc . Round or oval-shaped treats or kibble
of uniform size work best .
B
Add 250-500 ml of dog food or treats to the
food bin. While the bin holds up to 750 ml of
food, the batteries and motor will last longer if
you use less food . If your dog will use his regular
meal allotment for games and training, then
place one meal’s worth of food in the bin .
Turn Base Unit On and Test
(away from dog)
A
Turn the POWER on. This will cause the control panel indicator light to turn green . If
it’s red it indicates the batteries are low . A slow, blinking green power light indicates
the unit is in sleep mode—which occurs after 30 minutes of non-use . To wake up the
Treat&Train™ press any button on the remote .
B
Set the VOLUME to off if the dog is in the room. Some dogs need to get used to the
machine noises before they are introduced to the tones .
C
Ignore the DOWN-STAY controls. They are discussed later .
D
Hit DISPENSE button on the remote control to dispense kibble. The treat should
drop into the treat bowl within a second . Note: If you hit DOWN-STAY, the light on the
base unit will turn on . To turn it off, hit the DOWN-STAY button again .
E
IMPORTANT:
Test whether the food is the optimal size for dispensing. When
food is too large, gets stuck, or does not make it into a disc hole, the disc will
continue to spin until the next hole can dispense its treat . When food is the right size
for the disc, it will dispense from every hole . Press DISPENSE 20 times in a row to see
if treats are dispensed with each hole or if the machine sometimes skips one or more
holes . If it skips more than one or two times, try a different size, shape, or texture
of food .
