Tri-Tronics Sportsman - Manual (Page 18)

Finding the Dog’s Sensitivity Level. Before you train
your dog with the Sportsman, you must find the dog’s
sensitivity level. Dogs are like people in that they all
have individual sensitivity levels.
The correct intensity to begin basic training is one
that will motivate your dog to obey, but will not
overwhelm him.
To select the right intensity level, start with the lowest
variable intensity contact point (the brown #1 point) in
the collar. Be sure you have set the upper rocker switch
on the transmitter to C (continuous stimulation).
Press the stimulation button on the transmitter and
hold it down for about a second. Watch the dog’s
expression. You want to see him cock his ears or
quickly move his head. Usually he’ll have a quizzical
expression on his face. This tells you that the dog
has felt the stimulation.
Use the plastic contact
point wrench to
tighten or change
the contact points.
