Fit The Collar Receiver; Find The Best Intensity Level For Your Dog - SportDOG 1200M Manual De Funcionamiento

STEP :: 03

FIT THE COLLAR RECEIVER

IMPORTANT: The proper fit and placement of the Collar Receiver is important for effective training. The Contact Points must
have direct contact with your dog's skin.
Please see page 3 for Important Safety Information.
To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:
1. With your dog standing (3A), center the Collar
Receiver so the Contact Points are underneath
your dog's neck, touching the skin (3B). If your
dog has a long or thick coat, you have two options
to ensure consistent contact: either trim the hair
around the Contact Points or switch to the longer
Contact Points included with your system.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the dog's neck; this may lead to a
rash or infection.
• You should not make the collar any tighter than is required for good contact. A collar that is too tight will increase the
risk of pressure necrosis in the contact area.
2. The Collar Receiver should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow one finger to fit
between the strap and your dog's neck (3C).
3. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then recheck the fit. Check
the fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable wearing the Collar Receiver.
STEP :: 04

FIND THE BEST INTENSITY LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG

The SportTrainer® SD-1225E Remote Trainer has multiple intensity levels. This allows you to choose the static stimulation
that is best for your dog.
NOTE: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
For training efficiency, it is important to find the right intensity level for your dog. This is called the "Recognition Level", and is
the level at which your dog looks around in curiosity or flicks his ears.
TO FIND YOUR DOG'S RECOGNITION LEVEL
NOTE: Every dog is different and you cannot predict where your dog's Recognition Level will be. Watch closely for any slight
change in behaviour that demonstrates your dog is feeling the static stimulation.
1. With the Collar Receiver turned on and properly fitted to your dog, set the Remote Transmitter's Intensity Dial at Level 1
and press the Continuous Static Stimulation Button for 1 to 2 seconds.
2. If your dog shows no reaction to Level 1, go to Level 2 and repeat the process.
3. YOUR DOG SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STATIC STIMULATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE STATIC
STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.
4. Once you find your dog's Recognition Level, this is the level you should use when you begin a
training exercise.
