The “Stay” Command
1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar, and attach
a long leash. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
2. Visibly identify where you want your pet to sit by placing his bed or a large piece of cloth on
the ground.
3. Put your pet on his bed. Hold your leash in one hand and the Handheld Transmitter in the other.
4. Staying at approximately 1 yard, walk around the perimeter of the bed. Do not say anything to
your pet.
5. If your pet tries to leave the bed, press and hold the Top Button (light blue) to deliver Vibration
only while saying “Stay” and if necessary guide your pet back to his bed.
6. Immediately release the button as soon as your pet returns to his bed, and praise him enthusiastically.
7. Once your pet has settled, release him and play calmly.
8. Repeat steps 3 to 7 several times.
9. If your pet stays reliably on receiving the spoken “Stay” command, then training is complete.
Release your pet and praise him. If not, move on to Step 10.
10. Put your pet on his bed and walk around the perimeter of the bed as before.
11. Wait for your pet to try to leave the bed. Using the Recognition Level for your pet, press and
hold the Middle Button (medium blue on the PDT00-12894 model) to deliver quick Vibration
followed by controlled Static Stimulation, or the Bottom Button (dark blue on the PDT00-12894
model) to deliver a quick on/off Static Stimulation followed by controlled Static Stimulation,
while saying “Stay” and if necessary guide your pet back to his bed.
12. Immediately release the button as soon as your pet returns to his bed, and praise him
enthusiastically. Note: If a Static Stimulation button is held up to 12 continuous seconds, the LED will
flash rapidly to indicate a safety time-out. Once released, the button resets to normal functionality.
13. Once your pet has settled, release him and play calmly.
14. Repeat steps 10 to 13 several times.
15. If your pet stays reliably on receiving the spoken “Stay” command, he may now be ready to
respond without Static Stimulation. Take a play break and then go back and repeat from Step
3 with Vibration only.
Eliminating Unwanted Behavior
Jumping Up
Pets typically jump up to get attention. If you do not want your pet to jump on you, then friends or
members of the family should not encourage this behavior. That means every time your pet jumps
on someone, he should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable behavior, for
which he can receive praise. Note: It is best if your pet first understands the “Sit” command.
