3. YOUR PET SHOULD NOT VOCALISE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STATIC
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 pet reliably responds to the Static Stimulation.
5. If your pet continues to show no response at Level 8, check the fit of the Receiver Collar. If your
pet has long or thick hair, contact our Customer Care Centre to obtain a longer set of Contact
Points. Then go back to step number 1 and repeat the process. If this still does not yield any
results, your pet's hair will need to be trimmed around the Contact Points.
Do not shave the pet's neck as this may increase the risk of skin irritation.
If all of these steps have been done and your pet continues to show no reaction to the Static
Stimulation, see the "Test Light Instructions" section.
If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the Static
Stimulation, please contact Customer Care Centre or visit our website at www.petsafe.net.
+2 Boost
A press of the +2 Boost Button (red) sends a signal to the Receiver Collar to issue a Static
Stimulation that is 2 levels higher than the currently selected level. For example, if the
Stimulation Level is set at Level 2, a touch of the +2 Boost Button will send Level 4 Static
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 Stimulation 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
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
