Training Instructions
Eliminate one misbehaviour 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.
If your pet reacts to the tones by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention
to a simple and appropriate behaviour, such as the "sit" command.
Pets should be at least 6 months old before using the Trainer.
Only let responsible family members use the Trainer. It is not a toy!
Other pets in hearing range will be affected by the training tones. Therefore,
training sessions should be conducted out of hearing range of other pets.
Never use the Remote Trainer to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive
behaviour. We recommend you contact your local veterinarian or professional
trainer to determine if your pet might be aggressive.
Teaching Your Pet the Positive Tone
Before using the Trainer to correct your pet, spend 10 to 15 minutes per
day for 2 or 3 days helping him create the association of the tone with
reward and praise. To accomplish this:
1. Push the Tone button for 2 consecutive seconds.
2. Release the button and immediately reward your pet with verbal praise,
petting, or a small food reward. Spend 3 to 5 seconds on
your rewarding.
3. Wait a few minutes and repeat holding the Tone button for 2 seconds
following with praise.
Vary the reward to prevent your pet from anticipating a specific type.
This stage of training is complete when your pet obviously anticipates a
reward when he hears the positive tone.
