Perfecting Basic Obedience
Note: When we refer to stimulation button this will change depending on your
model, for models PET998DR, PET998DB, this will be your “Y” button. For any
other models, there should be a stimulation button for each type of stimulation
(static shock, vibration and beep).
The “Sit” Command
1. Put a separate, non metallic collar on your pet's neck above the Receiver collar
and attach at least a 10-foot leash.
Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
2. Hold the leash and the Remote Transmitter in one hand, keep your other hand
free to guide your pet into a “Sit” position.
3. Press and hold your stimulation button, be it shock, vibration or beep.
4. Immediately give the “Sit” command while holding down your desired stimulation
button.
5. Release the stimulation as soon as your dog sits and then give him praise.
6. Release your dog from the “Sit” command and play.
7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6.
The “Come” 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 your leash in one hand and the Remote Transmitter in the other.
3. Wait for your pet to walk away from you. Once he's far enough away, press and
hold the Stimulation Button (shock, vibration or beep) on your Remote Transmitter.
4. Immediately give the command “Come” while continuing to hold your Stimulation
Button.
5. Using the leash, gently guide your pet toward you until he begins to come in
your direction.

you, and praise him enthusiastically.
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 “Come” command several times, back
away from him without giving a command. When your pet turns toward you,
give the command “Come” (WITHOUT STIMULATION) and praise him while
you continue to back up. Praise your pet when he returns to you.
11. Use your leash to prevent your pet from running past you. If your pet manages
to run past you, repeat Steps 3 through 8.
The “Stay” 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. Put your pet on his bed. Hold your leash in one hand and the Remote Transmitter
in the other.
3. Staying within 3 feet, walk the perimeter of the bed. Do not say anything to your
pet.

the “Stay” command. Continue to hold the button until your pet is back on his
bed. If necessary, use the leash to guide your pet onto his place.

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 ev e ry tim e you r pe t jum ps on some one , he sh o ul d be re p ri m and ed 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. As soon as your pet lifts his paws off the ground to jump on you, press the
Stimulation Button and give the command “Sit.”
2. Release the Stimulation Button immediately once your pet is sitting, and verbally
praise him.
3. If your pet ignores the stimulation, increase the Intensity Level until he/she
responds.
4. Practice this exercise in several different areas and use different people for
distractions.
