To Re-Thread the Collar

Slide Buckle

Ridges

The slide buckle prevents the collar from

becoming loose around your dog’s neck.

The ridges must be facing up; the collar will

slip if it is not properly threaded.

Find the Best Intensity Level for Your Dog

The YardTrainer SD-105 has multiple intensity levels. This allows you to choose the

stimulation that is best for your dog.

Note: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.

For training efﬁ ciency, it is important to ﬁ nd the right intensity level for your dog. This

is called the Recognition Level, at which your dog swallows, looks around in curiosity, or

ﬂ icks his ears.

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 tells you your dog is feeling the stimulation.

1. With the Collar Receiver turned on and properly ﬁ t to your dog, set the Remote

Transmitter’s Intensity Dial at Level 1 and press the Continuous 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

STIMULATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO

HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND

REPEAT THE PROCESS.

4. Once you ﬁ nd your dog’s Recognition Level, this is the level you should use when

you begin a training exercise.

5. If you have progressed to Level 8 while searching for your dog’s Recognition Level

and your dog continues to show no response, check to see if 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 stimulation, you may have to trim the

hair beneath the Contact Points.

If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the

stimulation, please contact Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144.
