It is very important to set the correct intensity level on
your H
2
O PLUS Training System before beginning
your training sessions to provide the proper level of
stimulation without over-stimulating your dog.
To do this, place the Intensity Selection dial so that the
system is set on Level 1. Turn on the Collar and then
fit it properly around your dog’s neck. Press either the
‘NICK’ or the ‘CONT’ Button and check for a reaction.
Indications of your dog feeling the stimulation include
outward signs of discomfort or confusion on it’s face,
ears perking up, changes in tail movements, etc.
Increase the Intensity Level in increments of one until
the dog feels the stimulation. At this point, increase
the Intensity Level by one or two. This should be your
dog’s ideal training level. (Note: Some dogs may
require more or less stimulation depending upon
their individual temperament and/or size.)
SETTING THE INTENSITY LEVEL
Using the Rise Stimulation:
(H
2
O 1830 PLUS only)
The Rise function will gradually increase your current
intensity level up to the maximum intensity level (level
16) while the rise button is being pressed. The inten-
sity level will return to its original setting when the but-
ton is released. This can essentially let your dog de-
termine the correct intensity level for any situation by
letting him choose which level to respond to once it
rises to that level. CAUTION: Do not press and hold
unless you can see your dog’s actions/reactions.
