STEP::02 FIT THE COLLAR RECEIVER
IMPORTANT: THE PROPER FIT AND PLACEMENT OF THE COLLAR RECEIVER IS IMPORTANT FOR EFFECTIVE
TRAINING. THE CONTACT POINTS MUST HAVE DIRECT CONTACT WITH YOUR DOG’S SKIN.
To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:
1. With your dog standing (
2A), center the Collar
Receiver so the Contact Points are underneath your
dog’s neck, touching the skin (
2B). If your dog has a
long or thick coat, you have two options to ensure
consistent contact: either trim the hair around the
Contact Points or switch to the longer Contact Points
included with your system.
2. The Collar Receiver should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow one finger to fit between
the strap and your dog’s neck (
2C).
3. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then recheck the fit. Check the
fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable wearing the Collar Receiver.
STEP::03 FIND THE BEST INTENSITY LEVEL FOR YOUR
DOG
Your SportDOG® Brand system has multiple intensity levels. This allows you to choose the static stimulation level
that is best for your dog. For training efficiency, it is important to find the right intensity level for your dog. This is
called the Recognition Level, at which your dog looks around in curiosity, or flicks his ears.
NOTE: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
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 demonstrates your dog is feeling the static stimulation.
1. With the Collar Receiver turned on and properly fitted to your dog, set the Remote Transmitter’s Intensity Dial
at Level 1 and press the Continuous Static 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 STATIC STIMULATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE
STATIC STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT
THE PROCESS.
4. Once you find your dog’s Recognition Level, this is the level you should use when you begin a training exercise.
5. If you have progressed to the highest static stimulation level while searching for your dog’s Recognition Level
and your dog continues to show no response, check to see if the 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 static
stimulation, you have three options: you may either have to trim the hair beneath the Contact Points, switch to
the longer Contact Points included in your system, or change to a higher static stimulation range.
If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the static stimulation, please
contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144.
