Training Guide; General Tips; Teaching Your Pet The Positive Tone - Petsafe PUPT-100-19 Guía Para El Uso

General Tips

• Eliminate one misbehavior 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 behavior, such as the "sit" command.
• When pressing the Negative Tone Button, do not say anything to your
pet. Reserve your verbalization for when he is behaving appropriately.
• 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 Collarless Remote Trainer to correct or eliminate any form
of aggressive behavior. 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 positive tone
with reward and praise. To accomplish this:
1. Push the "P" 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 "P" button for 2 seconds
following with praise.
Vary the reward to prevent your pet from anticipating a specifi c type. This
stage of training is complete when your pet obviously anticipates a reward
when he hears the positive tone.
