CAUTION
Risk of skin damage.
• For comfort, safety and effectiveness of this product, please ensure that you check
the fi t of your pet’s collar frequently. If any skin irritation is observed, discontinue the
use of the collar for a few days. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your
veterinarian.
• Do not attach a lead to the collar. This can result in pulling the Contact Points too
tightly against your pet’s neck. Attach a lead to a separate, non-metallic collar or
harness, making sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.

Find the Best Stimulation Level
for Your Pet
Important: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
The Remote Trainer has 8 different Stimulation Levels. This allows you to choose the
Stimulation that is best for your pet.
Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your pet, it is time to fi nd the Stimulation
Level that is best for him. This is called the Recognition Level.
A slight change in your pet’s behaviour, such as looking around in curiosity, scratching
at his collar, or fl icking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him.
Follow the steps below to fi nd your pet’s Recognition Level:
1. Starting at Level 1 on the Intensity Dial, press the Upper Button continuously for 1
to 2 seconds.
2. If your pet shows no reaction, repeat the Stimulation level several times before moving
up to the next level.
3. YOUR PET SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING
STIMULATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO
HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND
REPEAT THE PROCESS.
4. Move up through the Stimulation levels until your pet reliably responds to
the Stimulation.
5. If your pet continues to show no response at Level 8, check the fi t of the Receiver
Collar. Then go back to step 1 and repeat the process. If this still does not yield any
results, your pet’s hair will need to be trimmed around the Contact Points.
If all of these steps have been done and your pet continues to show no reaction to the
Stimulation, see the “Test Light Instructions” section.
If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the
Stimulation, please contact Customer Care Centre or visit our website at
