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 two options: you may either
have to trim the hair beneath the Contact Points, or switch to the longer Contact Points included
in your system.
For more information on this topic see page 15. If after completing all of these steps your dog still
does not indicate he is feeling the static stimulation, please contact Customer Care Center
at 1-800-732-0144.
STEP::05
MATCH THE COLLAR RECEIVER AND REMOTE TRANSMITTER
To match the Collar Receiver to work with a new Remote Transmitter or to match a new Collar Receiver
to work with your existing Remote Transmitter:
1. Turn off the Collar Receiver.
2. Press and hold the On/Off Button. The Receiver Indicator Light will come on, then turn off after 4-5
seconds. If the On/Off Button is released too early, the Receiver Indicator Light will begin flashing as
normal. If this occurs, start over from
1.
3. After the Receiver Indicator Light has turned off, release the On/Off Button.
4. Press and hold the Upper Button on the Remote Transmitter until the Receiver Indicator Light flashes 5
times. Once the Receiver Indicator Light has flashed 5 times, the Collar Receiver has been matched and
will begin flashing as normal. If the Receiver Indicator Light does not flash 5 times, start over from
1.
