A slight change in your pet’s behaviour, such as looking around in
curiosity, scratching at his collar, or flicking his ears, indicates the
Recognition Level that is best for him.
Follow the steps below to find your pet’s Recognition Level:
1. Starting at 1 on the Level Select Switch, press the Vibration
Stimulation Top Button (light blue) continuously for 1 to 2 seconds.
2. If your pet shows no reaction, repeat the Vibration Stimulation
level several times before moving up to the next level.
3. YOUR PET SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN
RECEIVING VIBRATION 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 Vibration Stimulation levels until your pet
reliably responds to Vibration Stimulation.
5. If your pet continues to show no response at Level 15, check the fit
of the Receiver Collar. If your pet has long or thick hair, your pet’s
hair may need to be trimmed around the Vibration Points.
Do not shave the pet’s neck as this may increase
the risk of skin irritation.
If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate
he is feeling the Vibration Stimulation, please contact the Customer
Care Centre or visit our website at www.petsafe.net.
General Tips
Introducing the Remote Trainer: Introduce your PetSafe
®
collar
when your dog graduates from puppy stage and understands basic
obedience commands. PetSafe
®
collars should only be used on pets
over 6 months of age.
Avoiding a “Collar Wise” dog: Try to avoid letting your
dog become “collar wise”, obeying only when wearing the
PetSafe ® collar. Similarly, avoid letting the dog learn to obey
only when seeing the Transmitter in your hand. This is easy to
prevent (see “Remain the Leader” in the following “Dog Training
Recommendations” section).
