Training mode
(teaching your pet to use the Feeder)
When opened by the open/close button, the orange training light will flash red to
help you identify that the open/ close button has been pressed and it is in open mode.
The training light will return to orange when the open/close button is pressed once
you have added the food portion. If the Open/Close button isn't pressed the portion
indicator lights will not activate and the system won't be able to identify you
adding food.
PART 1 - Introducing your pet to the Feeder
Some pets may need some time to get used to the Feeder. The training mode allows you
to slowly introduce more and more movement to the lid meaning your pet can grow in
confidence using their new bowl. This can take a little time but be patient, and do not move
on to PART 2 until your pet seems comfortable.
1
Fill the bowl with your pet's favourite food and place the unit in your pet's normal
2
eating spot or somewhere they feel comfortable eating.
3
Remember to take your time and let your pet get used to their new bowl.
Once they are happy proceed to PART 2.
PART 2 - Increasing the lid movement
Slowly increasing the lid movement allows your pet to get used to it in three stages.
Once again, for the best results and a happy pet, it is important to be patient and not rush
this process. The amount of time required at each stage will vary for each pet (days/weeks)
but we recommend taking a few days for each one.
