Petsafe Basic Remote Trainer

Stay in control of your small- or large-breed pet off leash in a range up to 75-yards. This effective training system is great for use around the house and yard. It helps reinforce basic commands like "sit" and "stay" and stops problem behaviors like jumping, trash raiding, and digging. If you're new to remote training, this system is ideal for you.

When you activate the transmitter button, it sends a signal activating your dog's receiver collar. He receives a safe but annoying static stimulation. He quickly learns the association between his behavior and your correction. Choose from 12 stimulation levels (4 low, 4 medium and 4 high). You can also train with tones; this collar offers a low tone for good behavior/praise and a high tone for misbehavior/correction. The instruction manual offers tips on how to use these tones effectively for training. For dogs 8+ lbs.

System includes: 2.5 oz receiver collar for neck sizes up to 22", remote transmitter, test light tool, four 3-volt lithium batteries (CR2032), wrist strap, operating and training guide, and one-year manufacturer's warranty.

• Correct one behavior or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with training, your pet may become confused.
• Be consistent. Correct your pet every time he misbehaves.
• Unless you can supervise him, it is recommended that you restrict your pet from situations in which he has a history of misbehaving. However, setting up a situation as a training session can help dramatically improve your chances of success.
• If your pet reacts to the tones by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate behavior, such as the "sit" command.
• Pets should be at least 6 months old before using the trainer.
• Only let responsible family members use the trainer. It is not a toy!
• Other pets in hearing range may be affected by the training tones. Therefore, training sessions should be conducted out of hearing range of other pets.
• Never use the remote trainer to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behavior. We recommend you contact your local veterinarian or professional trainer to determine if your pet might be aggressive.

Important: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.

The Remote Trainer has 12 Stimulation Levels (4 low, 4 medium, and 4 high). This allows you to choose the stimulation that is best for your pet.

Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your pet, it is time to find the 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:

• Starting at Low (I) on the Stimulation Range Switch, press the Stimulation Button 1 button continuously for 1 to 2 seconds. Note: When the Stimulation Button is held down for 12 consecutive seconds, the Transmitter will "time-out", and you must release and press the button again before additional stimulation can be delivered.
• If your pet shows no reaction, repeat the Stimulation Level several times before moving up to Low Stimulation Levels 2, 3, and 4.
• YOUR PET SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STIMULATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.
• Move up through the Stimulation Levels until your pet reliably responds to the stimulation.
• If you have moved the Stimulation Range Switch to High (III) and your pet continues to show no response, check the fit of the Receiver Collar. Then go back to #1 and repeat the process. If this still does not yield any results, your pet's hair will need to be trimmed around the Contact Points.
