How the System Works Now you can experience the difference a Remote Trainer can make. Spend less time training and more time enjoying your dog. The PetSafe® Remote Trainer is easy to use with an advanced digital display that tells you exactly what level of stimulation you are using. The Remote Trainer assists you in controlling your pet without a leash in a range of up to 100 yards. At the push of a button, your remote sends a signal activating your dog’s Receiver Collar.
Receiver Collar: Delivers stimulation or tone on a signal from the Remote Transmitter. It is waterproof. Antenna: On Little Dog Receiver Collar only, receives the signal that is emitted from the transmitter. An antenna is not necessary for the Big Dog Receiver Collar to receive the signal. On/Off Button: Momentarily pressing and holding this button turns the Receiver Collar on and off. Contact Points: Deliver stimulation to your pet from the Remote Transmitter.
Transmitter Digital Display The display stays on for approximately 30 seconds after a button press. After 30 seconds with no button press, the display shuts off and the Transmitter goes into battery conservation mode. Pressing any button will turn the display back on. The symbols on the display are explained below. L indicates low stimulation levels ranging from 1-8, and appears in the lower left corner before the battery indicator.

Step To Pair the Remote Transmitter and Receiver Collar 4 If your Receiver Collar does not beep when the Tone Button of the Remote Transmitter is pressed, or if you feel the Receiver Collar is not responding to the Remote Transmitter, follow these steps to pair: 1. With the Receiver Collar off your pet, turn the Receiver Collar on. 2. Place the transmitter into pairing mode by pressing the down (-) button until the Digital Display shows P. 3.
Find the Best Stimulation Level for Your Pet Teaching Basic Obedience The Remote Trainer has 8 Low and 8 High Stimulation Levels. This allows you to choose the Stimulation that is best for your pet. 1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar, and attach a 10-foot leash. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points. 2. Hold the leash and the Remote Transmitter in one hand.
3. Wait for your pet to walk away from you. Using the Recognition Level for your pet, press and hold the Stimulation Button on your Remote Transmitter. 4. Immediately give the command “Come” while continuing to hold the Stimulation Button. 5. Using the leash, gently guide your pet toward you until he begins to come in your direction. 6. Immediately release the Stimulation Button as soon as your pet steps towards you, and praise him enthusiastically. 7.
Digging Chasing It is important to first understand why your pet is digging. Many dogs, such as terriers, were bred to flush out prey, and digging is very innate to them. Other dogs may be digging to find a cool spot to lie down, or simply out of boredom. Your pet may no longer have the desire to dig if he is provided with the following: • A cool, shaded area in which to lie down, and plenty of water. • An alternate activity, such as a favorite toy. • Plenty of play, exercise, and attention.
Trash Raiding The easiest way to prevent trash raiding is to remove garbage and tempting food from your pet’s environment. You can use the Remote Trainer to teach your pet to stay away from these items; however, you must be prepared to correct your pet every time he approaches them. 1. Choose the Intensity Level 1 higher than your pet’s Recognition Level. 2. Pick a temptation for your pet and position yourself where he cannot see you. 3.
Troubleshooting My pet does not respond when I press a button. • Make sure the Receiver Collar has been turned on. • If your range has reduced from the first time you used the Remote Trainer, the battery(s) may be low in either the Remote Transmitter or Receiver Collar. • Many factors can impact the amount of range you have with the Remote Trainer. For a list of these factors, see “How the System Works”. • Test the Receiver Collar. See “Test Light Instructions” for details.
