Helpful Hints and Training Guide
To get the most out of your new remote trainer, please make sure to follow these steps before you begin:
Use conventional training methods to teach your dog what commands you expect it to respond to. When the
dog understands your commands, only then should you introduce the collar.
Always make sure the collar is functioning properly before you put it on the dog.
Set the units on the lowest stimulation level. This allows the dog to respond with a light touch but gives you
higher levels if needed.
Keep sessions brief (10 minutes). After a 30-minute rest period, repeat the training process.
Never continue a session after the dog has lost interest. Take a break for a rest or fun period.
Have the dog wear the collar for a few hours each day for a week or two before you start using it for training.
Put the collar on the dog at least 30 minutes before beginning a training session. This can help prevent the
dog from becoming collar-wise.
Once you have started a program with your electronic remote trainer, never start a training session without
it. A good rule would be to simply never take the dog out without the collar on.
Always end each session on a good note. Have the dog repeat a mastered task. This will keep the dog’s
interest for the next training session.
Troubleshooting
If your collar receiver fails to react to the transmitter, place the RED paper dot on the transmitter against the
RED paper dot on the collar receiver until the receiver light is solid ON. Pull the units apart and press any
transmitter button. The collar receiver then shows a fast flash when the button is pressed, indicating the two
units are matched.
If signals from another transmitter or similar device interfere with your training, change the ID Code as
explained in Section 1-D.
If your dog seems sometimes to not be receiving the stimulus, the cause could be discharged batteries, a
collar that is too loose or probes of insufficient length. Recharging the collar, replacing the transmitter
battery or adjusting the collar and probes solves these problems. If you still cannot solve the problem,
contact your nearest INNOTEK Service Center.
