TRAINING GUIDE
Test the Remote Trainer
We recommend you experience fi rst-hand how the PetSafe ® ST-100
Remote Trainer functions. Always begin at the lowest level and
increase the intensity up to your personal comfort level.
1. Place your fi ngers on both Contact Points of the Receiver Collar.
2. Hold the Remote Transmitter approximately 0.6 m from the
Receiver Collar and press the Stimulation Up Button to show Level
1 on the Digital Display. Press the Stimulation Button (yellow).
At this level you may not feel the quick on/off Static Stimulation
followed by the controlled Static Stimulation while holding the
button down.
Note: An automatic safety time-out will be triggered if any
Stimulation Button is held for more than 12 seconds. Once
released, the Stimulation Button resets to normal functionality.
3. Increase the intensity until the sensation begins to
feel uncomfortable.
General Tips
Introducing the Remote Trainer: Introduce your PetSafe ®
Receiver Collar when your dog graduates from puppy stage and
understands basic obedience commands. PetSafe
® Receiver Collars
should only be used with pets who are over 6 months of age.
Note: Other pets in hearing range will be affected by the training
tones. Therefore, training sessions should be conducted out of hear-
ing range of other pets.
Avoiding a “Collar Wise” dog: Try to avoid letting your dog
become “collar wise”, obeying only when wearing the PetSafe
®
Receiver Collar. Similarly, avoid letting the dog learn to obey only
when seeing the Remote Transmitter in your hand. This is easy to
prevent (see “Remain the Leader” in the following “Dog Training
Recommendations” section).
