General Tips

Introducing the Remote Trainer: Introduce your PetSafe
graduates from puppy stage and understands basic obedience commands. PetSafe
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 hearing range of other pets.
Avoiding a "Collar Wise" dog: Try to avoid letting your dog become "collar wise", obeying
only when wearing the PetSafe
when seeing the Handheld Remote in your hand. This is easy to prevent (see "Remain the Leader" in the
following "Dog Training Recommendations" section).
Training Sessions & Determining Stimulation Levels: Keep your training sessions short and
watch your dog's reaction - your pet will tell you what level of Vibration Stimulation is appropriate
to use and when to release the button. Please refer to "Find the Best Vibration Level for Your Pet" for
additional information.
Stopping Unwanted Behaviour: When stopping unwanted behaviour, it is suggested to use
higher levels of Vibration Stimulation - the pet should be convinced that his unacceptable actions (not
you) caused the annoying sensation to happen.
Dogs First Learn One Command: Focus on learning one command before moving on to another.
When teaching a command like "heel", "come", "sit", or "down", many trainers recommend using low
levels of Vibration Stimulation. The dog quickly learns to turn off or completely avoid the unpleasant
sensation.
Reinforcing Known Commands: To reinforce commands the dog already knows, it is suggested
to use medium Vibration Stimulation levels. This teaches the dog to respect instructions by always listening
and obeying.
Note: Using praise or treats to reward the correct response is great for encouraging the dog, but it is
suggested you and your family members always remain the dog's leader.
Never use the Remote Trainer to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive
behaviour. We recommend you contact your local veterinarian or professional
trainer to determine if your pet might be aggressive.
