Trash Raiding
The easiest way to prevent trash raiding is to remove garbage and tempting food from your pet’s
environment. You can use the Remote Trainer to teach your pet to stay away from these items;
however, you must be prepared to correct your pet every time he approaches them.
1. Choose the Intensity Level 1 higher than your pet’s
Recognition Level.
2. Pick a temptation for your pet and position yourself
where he cannot see you.
3. While your pet’s mouth is touching the temptation,
press and hold the Stimulation Button. Immediately
release the button when your pet leaves the temptation.
4. Do not say anything, as you want your pet to associate the stimulation with his behavior, not you.
5. If your pet does not respond to the stimulation, increase the Intensity Level by 1 and repeat the process.
6. Repeat this process in several different locations with different temptations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Stimulation safe for my
pet?
• While the Stimulation is unpleasant, it is harmless to your
pet. Electronic training devices require interaction and
training from the owner to achieve desired results.
How old does my pet have to be
before using the PetSafe ® Remote
Trainer?
• Your pet should be able to recognize basic obedience
commands such as “Sit” or “Stay”. Pets should be at least 6
months old before using the Trainer.
Once my pet is trained and has
been obeying my commands, will
he have to continue to wear the
Receiver Collar?
• Probably not. You may need to reinforce training with the
Receiver Collar from time to time.
Is the Receiver Collar waterproof? • Yes. When changing the batteries, be sure to keep the area
free of dirt and debris. Also, make sure the screws are flush
with the Battery Lid.
Will I get exactly 100 yards of range
with the Remote Trainer?
• The range of the Remote Trainer will vary according to terrain,
weather, vegetation, as well as transmission from other radio
devices. See “How the System Works” for tips on maximizing
your range.
How long can I continuously
deliver stimulation to my pet?
• The maximum amount of time you can press the Stimulation Button
and deliver stimulation to your pet continuously is 12 seconds.
After this, the Remote Transmitter will time-out, and the Stimulation
Button must be released and pressed again.
