fREQUENTLy ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the static stimulation safe for
my dog?
While the static stimulation is unpleasant, it is harmless to your
dog. Electronic training devices require interaction and training
from the owner to achieve desired results.
How old does a dog have to be before
using the yardTrainer 105?
Your dog should be able to learn basic obedience commands such
as “Sit” or “Stay.” The Collar Receiver may be too large for dogs
under 8 pounds.
Once my dog is trained and has been
obeying my commands, will my dog
have to continue to wear the Collar
Receiver?
Your dog may need to wear the Collar Receiver from time to time for
reinforcement.
Is the Collar Receiver waterproof?
Yes. When the batteries need to be replaced, make sure the battery
door gasket is free from dirt and debris.
Can I use the yardTrainer 105 on
aggressive dogs?
We do not recommend any of our products to be used on aggressive
dogs. We recommend you contact your local veterinarian or
professional trainer to determine if your dog might be aggressive.
Will I get exactly 100 yards of range with
the yardTrainer 105?
The range you get with your YardTrainer 105 will vary according
to terrain, weather, vegetation as well as transmission from other
radio devices. To get the maximum amount of range, please refer to
“How the System Works” section of this guide.
How long can I continuously deliver
static stimulation to my dog?
The maximum amount of time you can press the Continuous Static
Stimulation Button and deliver static stimulation to your dog
continuously is 8 seconds. After 8 seconds, the Remote Transmitter
will “time-out,” and the Continuous Static Stimulation Button must
be released and pressed again.
What do I do if my dog’s neck becomes
red and irritated?
This condition is due to the Contact Points irritating the skin.
Discontinue use of the Collar Receiver for a few days. If the
condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian. Once the
skin returns to normal, resume use, and monitor the skin condition
closely.
How can I get replacement batteries?
CR2032 batteries can either be purchased through the Customer
Care Center at 1-800-732-0144, or at any store that sells camera
batteries.
Can I use the yardTrainer 105 with more
than one dog?
No. The YardTrainer 105 is a 1-dog system.
NOTE: If the Test Light does not flash, replace the batteries and retest. If the Test Light still does not flash, contact the
Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144.
