Test the Remote Trainer
We recommend you experience first-hand how the PetSafe
begin at the lowest level and increase the intensity up to your personal comfort level.
1. Place your fingers on both Contact Points of the Receiver Collar.
2. Hold the Handheld Remote approximately 0.6 metres from the Receiver Collar and press
the Stimulation Up Button to show Level 1 on the Digital Display. Press the Stimulation Button
(yellow). At this level you may not feel the quick on/off Static Stimulation followed by the
controlled Static Stimulation while holding the button down.
Note: An automatic safety time-out will be triggered if any Stimulation Button is held for more
than 10 seconds. Once released, the Stimulation Button resets to normal functionality.
3. Increase the intensity until the sensation begins to feel uncomfortable.
General Tips
Introducing the Remote Trainer: Introduce your PetSafe
graduates from puppy stage and understands basic obedience commands. PetSafe
Collars should only be used with pets who are over 6 months of age.
Note: 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.
Avoiding a "Collar Wise" dog: Try to avoid letting your dog become "collar wise",
obeying only when wearing the PetSafe
to obey only when seeing the Handheld Remote in your hand. This is easy to prevent (see
"Remain the Leader" in the following "Dog Training Recommendations" section).
Training Sessions & Determining Stimulation Levels: Keep your training sessions short
and watch your dog's reaction - your pet will tell you what level of Static Stimulation is
appropriate to use and when to release the button. Please refer to "Find the Best Stimulation
Level for Your Pet" for additional information.
Stopping Unwanted Behaviour: When stopping unwanted behaviour, it is suggested to
use higher levels of Static Stimulation - the pet should be convinced that his unacceptable
actions (not you) caused the annoying sensation to happen.
Dogs First Learn One Command: Focus on learning one command before moving on
to another. When teaching a command like "heel", "come", "sit", or "down", many trainers
recommend using low levels of Static Stimulation. The dog quickly learns to turn off or
completely avoid the unpleasant sensation.
