Dog Training Recommendations

When Training Begins: Training starts the moment you bring your puppy home. While your dog will
not be ready for the PetSafe products until he has matured, you should begin basic training immediately.
®
Remain the Leader: Stop your dog from becoming "collar wise". An easy solution known as
"Collar Conditioning" will help prevent the dog from listening only when wearing the Receiver Collar and
disobeying when he is not wearing it. First, fit the Receiver Collar on your dog. Second, immediately take
your dog outside or do something he enjoys; don't activate the Receiver Collar. Let the dog wear it during
non-training sessions. Your dog should believe wearing the Receiver Collar can also result in having fun. It
should not be perceived as punishment. Place the Receiver Collar on and off the dog at various times for
short or longer periods to make wearing it a normal routine. Similarly, don't let the dog learn to obey only
when he sees the Handheld Remote. Also carry the Handheld Remote, but don't use it all the time. How long
should this process take? Professional trainers' opinions vary from a few days to a couple of weeks.
Focus on the Dog: Professional trainers' opinions vary on some issues, but all users of remote training
systems strongly recommend watching your dog, not the Handheld Remote, when training. PetSafe
®
products are specifically designed to make this task simple. It is easy and you should find the point where
your dog first perceives the Vibration Stimulation. See "Find the Best Vibration Level for Your Pet".
"Good Dog" in the Home or Outside: Stopping unwanted behaviour is easy using the PetSafe
®
Remote Trainers. Your dog can be good in and out of the house. Remember to be fair to the dog and
remove temptation whenever possible.
Be Consistent and Responsible: Use the Remote Trainer every time your dog misbehaves. Only let
responsible family members use the Remote Trainer. It is not a toy!
