FIND THE BEST INTENSITy LEVEL FOR yOUR DOG

The SportTrainer® SD-1875E Remote Trainer with Beeper has multiple intensity levels. This allows you to
choose the stimulation that is best for your dog.
Note: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
For training efficiency, it is important to find the right intensity level for your dog. This is called the
"Recognition Level", and is the level at which your dog looks around in curiosity or flicks his ears.
FINDING yOUR DOG'S RECOGNITION LEVEL
Note: Every dog is different and you cannot predict where your dog's Recognition Level will be. Watch closely for any
slight change in behaviour that tells you your dog is feeling the stimulation.
1. With the Collar Receiver turned on and properly fitted to your dog, set the Remote Transmitter's Intensity Dial
at Level 1 and press the Continuous Stimulation Button for 1 to 2 seconds.
2. If your dog shows no reaction to Level 1, go to Level 2 and repeat the process.
3. YOUR DOG 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.
4. Once you find your dog's Recognition Level, this is the level you should use when you begin a
training exercise.
5. If you have progressed to Level 7 while searching for your dog's Recognition Level and your dog continues
to show no response, check to see if the Collar Receiver is snug against your dog's neck. Then go back to
Intensity Level 1 and repeat the process. If your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the stimulation, you
have three options: trim the hair beneath the Contact Points, switch to the longer Contact Points included in
your system, or change the stimulation range (see next page).
If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the stimulation, please contact
the Customer Care Centre.
