Petsafe Innotek Command Series Remote Trainer - Manual (Page 10)

Note: When the dog goes on point, there is a delay before the collar goes into point mode. In
Normal and Silent Mode, the delay is as long as 10 seconds. In Grouse Mode, the delay is as long
as 5 seconds. This feature keeps the pointing mode from activating when the dog stops momen-
tarily.

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.
• 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 ses-
sion 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.
