TRAINING
BEFORE TRAINING WITH THIS PRODUCT
You will have the most success using this product if you always remember to teach a command before trying to
reinforce the command with stimulation. Always keep the following training tips in mind:
• Eliminate a single misbehaviour or teach a single 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, and/or stimulation for each misbehaviour.
• Do not overcorrect your dog. Use as little stimulation 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 TEK Series 1.5
Handheld Device for applying tone, stimulation, or vibration.
• If you notice a 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, stimulation, or vibration (especially the first couple of times),
do not be alarmed. Redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate behaviour (i.e. a known command,
such as “Sit”).
• Never use the TEK Series 1.5 System to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behaviour. If your dog
exhibits such behaviour, contact a professional trainer. Aggression in dogs is the result of many factors
– it may be a learned behaviour 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.

NOTE: If you own the TEK Series 1.5 GPS Tracking System (TEK-V1.5L) you must purchase the TEK Series E-Collar
Module accessory to utilise the training functionality.
The TEK Series 1.5 GPS Tracking and Training System supports 6 types of stimulation: continuous, momentary,
rising, programmable, tone, and vibration. The continuous stimulation mode has multiple intensity levels so you
can match the stimulation to your dog’s temperament.
