Training Guide
Testing the Remote Trainer
We recommend you experience first-hand how the PetSafe ® Remote Trainers with Vibration function.
Always begin at the lowest level and increase the intensity up to your personal comfort level.
1. Place your fingers on both Contact Points of the Receiver Collar.
2. Hold the Transmitter approximately 2 feet from the Receiver and position the Level Select Switch
to 1. Press the Bottom Button (dark blue) if applicable. 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 Static Stimulation button is held for more than
12 seconds. Once released, the button resets to normal functionality.
3. Increase the intensity until the sensation begins to feel uncomfortable.
4. Repeat the same procedure above using the Middle Button (medium blue) if applicable. The
only difference will be a quick on/off quick Vibration followed by controlled Static Stimulation
if the button is held down.
5. Repeat the same procedure above using the Top Button (light blue). The difference will be a
quick on/off Vibration followed by controlled Vibration if the button is held down.
Note: Always return the Level Select Switch to 1 when changing buttons to discover either you or the dog’s
comfort level with different methods of Vibration and Static Stimulation.
Note: When set to Level “0”, the LED’s on the Receiver Collar will still light up but no correction will be delivered.
Find the Best Vibration or Static Stimulation
Level for Your Pet
Important: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
The PetSafe
® Remote Trainers with Vibration employ the same methodology. The PDT00-12892
gives the dog quick on/off Vibration. The controlled (continuous) Vibration follows only if you
determine it is necessary to hold down the Transmitter’s Top Button (light blue). The PDT00-12894
three-button model has two additional features. The Middle Button (medium blue) gives a quick on/
off Vibration followed by controlled (continuous) Static Stimulation
only if you continue to hold the
button down. The Bottom Button (dark blue) provides a quick on/off Static Stimulation followed
by controlled (continuous) Static Stimulation if you continue to hold the button down. This allows
you to choose the Vibration or Static Stimulation Level that is best for your pet.
Note: If a Static
Stimulation button is held up to 12 continuous seconds, the LED will flash rapidly to indicate a safety time-out.
Once released, the button resets to normal functionality.
Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your pet, it is time to find the Vibration or Static
Stimulation Level that is best for him. This is called the Recognition Level.
A slight change in your pet’s behavior, such as looking around in curiosity, scratching at his collar,
or flicking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him.
Follow the steps below to find your pet’s Recognition Level:
1. Starting at 1 on the Level Select Switch, press the Vibration Correction Top Button (light blue) for
model PDT00-12892, OR the Static Stimulation Bottom Button (dark blue) for model PDT00-
12894, continuously for 1 to 2 seconds.
2. If your pet shows no reaction, repeat the Vibration or Static Stimulation level several times
before moving up to the next level.
