PROGRAM THE REMOTE TRANSMITTER
The SportHunter
®
1825 Remote Transmitter has seven operational modes in the toggle
up
position and eight
operational modes in the toggle
down
position to allow you to select the best match for your type or style of
training. The Remote Transmitter is factory set to mode 1 (toggle up). There is also one programming mode: Mode
8 (in toggle up postition - change ID codes) on page 17.
For example, if mode 5 is desired in the toggle up position, adjust the Intensity Dial to Level 5. Once the Mode
Button has been depressed, the Transmitter Indicator Light will be solid, and once the Mode Button is released,
the Transmitter Indicator Light will flash 5 times. However, if you select mode 8 (ID Code) in the
UP
position or mode
2 in the
DOWN

GENERAL TRAINING TIPS
BEFORE TRAINING YOUR DOG WITH THIS PRODUCT:
You will have the most success using this remote trainer if you always remember to teach a command before
trying to reinforce the command with a remote trainer. We recommend that you read the enclosed Training Guide
and watch the enclosed DVD before training with this remote trainer. Your training will be easier and proceed
faster if you follow the guidelines in these teaching assistants. In addition, always keep the following training tips
in mind:
• Eliminate one misbehavior or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with the
training, your dog may become confused.
• Be consistent. Give your dog a tone, vibration, or static stimulation with each misbehavior.
• Do not overcorrect your dog. Use as few stimulations as possible to train your dog.
• Restrict your dog from situations in which he has a history of misbehaving unless you can supervise
him and use the SportHunter
®
1825 for applying tone, vibration, or static stimulation.
• If you notice one situation in which your dog misbehaves repeatedly, set up this situation as a
training session. This will dramatically increase your chances of success.
• If your dog has a timid reaction to the tone, vibration, or static stimulation (especially the first couple of
times), do not be alarmed. Redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate behavior (i.e. a known
command, such as “Sit”).
• Never use the SportHunter 1825 to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behavior. If your dog
exhibits such behavior, contact a professional trainer. Aggression in dogs is the result of many
factors – it may be a learned behavior or it may be brought on as a result of fear. Another factor
contributing to aggression in dogs is social dominance. Every dog is different.
At this point, your remote trainer is ready to use. The Transmitter is factory set to mode 1, but you may wish to
change the mode to fit your situation. See STEP 5, for an explanation of mode options.
TO CHANGE THE MODE
1. Referring to the following tables, adjust the Intensity
Dial and Toggle Switch to your desired mode.
2. Turn the Remote Transmitter over and remove the belt
clip (if attached).
3. Using a pen or the tine on the buckle of your collar
strap, press and release the Mode Button. When
the Mode Button is pressed, the Transmitter Indicator
Light will be solid in color. When it is released, it will
flash the mode selected.
