To Train using Spray Stimulation

You control the timing of the spray being applied to your pet. If you continue to press the Spray
Button the spray will time out after 10 seconds. It will remain in time out until the button is released.
Note: For any of these training methods to be effective, they must be used consistently along
with the command you are trying to teach your pet.

+2 Boost

Pressing the +2 Boost Button (red) sends a signal to the Receiver Collar to issue a Spray Level
that is 2 levels higher than the currently selected level. For example, if the Spray Level is set at
Level 2, pressing the +2 Boost Button will send at Level 4 Spray Stimulation. Some trainers like
instant access to a higher setting for circumstances where the dog may not respond to lower
levels, such as around high distraction. The system will never exceed the High-15 Spray Level.

Dog Training Recommendations

When Training Begins: Training starts the moment you bring your puppy home. While your
dog will not be ready for the PetSafe products until he has matured, you should begin basic
®
training immediately.
Remain the Leader: Stop your dog from becoming "collar wise". An easy solution known as
"Collar Conditioning" will help prevent the dog from listening only when wearing the Receiver
Collar and disobeying when he is not wearing it. First, fit the Receiver Collar on your dog.
Second, immediately take your dog outside or do something he enjoys; don't activate the
Receiver Collar. Let the dog wear it during non-training sessions. Your dog should believe wearing
the Receiver Collar can also result in having fun. It should not be perceived as punishment. Place
the Receiver Collar on and off the dog at various times for short or longer periods to make
wearing it a normal routine. Similarly, don't let the dog learn to obey only when he sees the
Handheld Remote. Also carry the Handheld Remote, but don't use it all the time. How long should
this process take? Professional trainers' opinions vary from a few days to a couple of weeks.
Focus on the Dog: Professional trainers' opinions vary on some issues, but all users of remote
training systems strongly recommend watching your dog, not the Handheld Remote, when
training. PetSafe products are specifically designed to make this task simple. It is easy and
®
you should find the point where your dog first perceives the Spray Stimulation. See "Find the
Best Spray Level for Your Pet".
"Good Dog" in the Home or Outside: Stopping unwanted behaviour is easy using the
PetSafe
Remote Trainer. Your dog can be good in and out of the house. Remember to be fair
®
to the dog and remove temptation whenever possible.
Be Consistent and Responsible: Use the Remote Trainer every time your dog misbehaves.
Only let responsible family members use the Remote Trainer. It is not a toy!
