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.
2. If your pet shows no reaction, repeat the stimulation level several times before moving up to Low Stimulation Levels 2 and 3. 3. If your pet shows no reaction on Low Stimulation Levels 1, 2, or 3, move the slide switch to Medium, press the Stimulation 1 button continuously for 1 to 2 seconds. 4. If your pet shows no reaction, repeat the stimulation level several time before moving up to Medium Stimulation Levels 2 and 3. 5. YOUR PET SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STIMULATION.
The “Recall” Command 1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Pendant™, and attach a 10-foot leash. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Loops. 2. Hold your leash in one hand and the Handheld Remote in the other. 3. Wait for your pet to walk away from you. Using the Recognition Level for your pet, press and hold the Stimulation button on your Handheld Remote. 4. Immediately give the command “Recall” while continuing to hold the Stimulation button. 5.
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 the Intensity Level one step higher than your pet’s Recognition Level. 2.
3. From a window or area where your pet cannot see you, wait until your pet begins to dig. 4. While your pet digs, press the Stimulation button and release it when he stops digging. Only press the button while your pet is in the act of digging, and do not say anything to him. 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.
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.
