Find The Best Stimulation Level For Your Dog - SportDOG SPORTTRAINER SD-800E Manual De Funcionamiento

FIND THE BEST STIMULATION LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG

IMPORTANT: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
The Remote Trainer has 8 different Stimulation Levels. This allows you to choose the Stimulation
that is best for your dog.
Once you have placed the Collar Receiver on your dog, it is time to fi nd the Stimulation Level
that is best for him. This is called the Recognition Level.
A slight change in your dog's behaviour, such as looking around in curiosity, scratching at his
collar, or fl icking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him.
Follow the steps below to fi nd your dog's Recognition Level:
1. Starting at Level 1 on the Intensity Dial, press the Upper Button continuously for 1 to 2
seconds.
2. If your dog shows no reaction, repeat the Stimulation level several times before moving up to
the next level.
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. Move up through the Stimulation levels until your dog reliably responds to the Stimulation.
5. If your dog continues to show no response at Level 8, check the fi t of the Collar Receiver. If
your dog has long or thick hair, replace the Contact Points with the longer set. Then go back to
step 1 and repeat the process. If this still does not yield any results, your dog's hair will need
to be trimmed around the Contact Points.
If all of these steps have been done and your dog continues to show no reaction to the
Stimulation, see the "Test Light Instructions" section.
If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the Stimulation,
