Training Guide General Tips :: Eliminate one misbehavior or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with training, your pet may become confused. :: Be consistent. Correct your pet every time he misbehaves. :: Unless you can supervise him, it is recommended that you restrict your pet from situations in which he has a history of misbehaving. However, setting up a situation as a training session can dramatically improve your chances of success.
Find the Best Stimulation Level for Your Pet Important: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up. The Elite Remote Trainers have 15 different Stimulation Levels. This allows you to choose the Stimulation that is best for your pet. Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your pet, it is time to find the Stimulation Level that is best for him. This is called the Recognition Level.
Teaching Basic Obedience The “Sit” Command 1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar, and attach a 10-foot leash. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points. 2. Hold the leash and the Handheld Remote in one hand. Keep your other hand free to guide your pet into a “Sit” position. 3. Press and hold the Stimulation button. 4. Immediately give the “Sit” command while continuing to hold the Stimulation button. 5.
7. Quickly move backwards as your pet begins to come back to you, praising him the entire time. 8. Praise your pet when he returns to you. 9. Repeat Steps 3 through 8. 10. Once your pet responds readily to the “Recall” command several times, back away from him without giving a command. When your pet turns toward you, give the command “Recall” (WITHOUT STIMULATION) and praise him while you continue to back up. Praise your pet when he returns to you. 11.
Eliminating Unwanted Behavior Jumping Up Pets typically jump up to get attention. If you do not want your pet to jump on you, then friends or members of the family should not encourage this behavior. That means every time your pet jumps on someone, he should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable behavior, for which he can receive praise. Note: It is best if your pet first understands the “Sit” command. 1. Choose your pet’s Recognition Level. 2.
5. If your pet ignores the stimulation, increase the Intensity Level by 1. 6. Continue to watch your pet, as he may choose another area to dig. 7. Do not allow your pet in the yard unsupervised until he has completely stopped digging. Chasing Chasing is an instinctive behavior stimulated by moving objects. Some dogs have a particularly strong desire to chase that can put them in harm’s way and leave you helpless.
Trash Raiding The easiest way to prevent trash raiding is to remove garbage and tempting food from your pet’s environment. You can use the Remote Trainer to teach your pet to stay away from these items; however, you must be prepared to correct your pet every time he approaches them. 1. Choose the Intensity Level 1 higher than your pet’s Recognition Level. 2. Pick a temptation for your pet and position yourself where he cannot see you. 3.
Frequently Asked Questions Is the Stimulation safe for my pet? :: While the Stimulation is unpleasant, it is harmless to your pet. Electronic training devices require interaction and training from the owner to achieve desired results. How old does a pet have to be before using the PetSafe® Elite Remote Trainers? :: Your pet should be able to learn basic obedience commands such as “Sit” or “Stay.” Pets should be at least 6 months old before using the Trainer.
