Training Tone Option
The Tone button causes the collar to
produce a sound. No stimulation is
delivered when the Tone button is
pressed. The tone continues for as long
as the button is held down, up to 10
seconds. A tone can help strengthen a
dog’s response to training. The tone can
be used as a warning tone prior to
pressing the stimulation button; or can
be a reward tone when presented with
praise, play, or food for good behavior.
The use of a training tone is optional. Its
use varies among popular training
methods. Some trainers choose to use
the tone option as a warning tone prior
to stimulation, others prefer to use the
tone option as a reward tone, and still
others prefer to not use it at all. It is
imperative for successful dog training to
use the tone option consistently through-
out the training process. Whether the
tone will mean reward or warning to your
dog is up to the training method yyo
ou u
c ch ho oo os se e.
Remember: the training tone
CANNOT be both a warning tone
and a reward tone. To learn more about
tone training, consult a qualified dog
training professional.

Training Tips
• Watch the included DVD to get the
basics for training your dog properly
with a remote training system.
• We recommend your dog be at least
six months old before starting a
remote training system program.
• Always praise your dog for good
behavior!
• Teach him what the commands mean
before introducing the Receiver collar
as a reinforcement tool.
• Keep training sessions brief, about ten
minutes of training and then a rest or
play period of at least equal length.
• Dogs learn through repetition. You
may have better training success if
you can elicit an undesired behavior
when you can anticipate it. For
example, if the dog misbehaves and
jumps on visitors, have someone
come in and out of the front door
several times over a half-hour period.
You’ll be expecting it and will be ready
to teach your dog the right behavior.
• Always end a training session on a
positive note. Let the dog have
success. This way he’ll look forward to
the next session.
• Training should be fun for both you
and your dog. Never train when you
are angry. If you get frustrated during
training, stop and come back to it
later. Your dog will learn better when
you are both relaxed.
