How the System Works The Collarless Remote Trainer is designed to assist you with obedience training and the behavior modification of your dog or cat by taking advantage of the sensitive hearing of your pet in the ultrasonic frequency range which is inaudible to most humans. The Negative Tone Button activates the ultrasound, which startles your pet more than yelling or a firm voice command.
Operating Guide Prepare the Remote Trainer To Insert and Remove the Battery 1. Remove the screws on the back of the Remote Trainer. 2. Insert the 9-volt alkaline battery. 3. Reinstall the screws. Do not over-tighten the screws. 2 1 To verify the battery has been inserted correctly, activate the Remote Trainer by pressing the Positive Tone Button (P). The Remote Trainer should beep and the Indicator Light should glow. Battery Life Under typical training conditions, the battery should last up to one year.
Operating the Remote Trainer Use the Collarless Remote Trainer for training within a range of 30 feet (10 meters). Point the device at your pet for optimal results. • To activate the ultrasonic correction, push and hold the button labeled “N” • To activate the positive sound, push and hold the button labeled “P” Cautions • The Collarless Remote Trainer should be stored in a dry place at room temperature. • Never place the Collarless Remote Trainer directly next to the ear of any human or animal.
Training Guide General Tips • Eliminate one misbehavior or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with training, your pet may become confused. • Be consistent. Correct your pet every time he misbehaves. • Unless you can supervise him, it is recommended that you restrict your pet from situations in which he has a history of misbehaving. However, setting up a situation as a training session can dramatically improve your chances of success.
Using the Negative Tone As soon as your pet begins the earliest sign of misbehavior, press the “N” button. For example, if you want to teach your dog to stay off the couch, press the “N” button as soon as he puts one paw on it. Do not wait until he is completely on the couch. 1. Hold the “N” button for up to 2 seconds at a time, releasing the button as soon as your pet stops the misbehavior. 2.
Teaching Basic Obedience The “Sit” Command 1. Put a 10-foot leash on your pet. 2. Hold the leash and the Remote Trainer in one hand. Keep your other hand free to guide your pet into a “Sit” position. 3. Press and hold the “N” Button. 4. Immediately give the “Sit” command while continuing to hold the “N” Button. 5. Release the “N” Button as soon as your pet is in position, and press and hold the “P” Button for 2 seconds. 6. Release your pet from the “Sit” command and play. 7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6.
The “Come” Command 1. Put a 10-foot leash on your pet. 2. Hold your leash in one hand and the Remote Trainer in the other. 3. Wait for your pet to walk away from you. Press and hold the “N” Button on your Remote Trainer. 4. Immediately give the command “Come”. 5. Using the leash, gently guide your pet toward you until he begins to come in your direction. 6. Immediately release the “N” Button as soon as your pet steps towards you, and press and hold the “P” button for 2 seconds. 7.
The “Stay” Command 1. Put a 10-foot leash on your pet. 2. Put your pet on his bed. Hold your leash in one hand and the Remote Trainer in the other. 3. Staying within 3 feet, walk the perimeter of the bed. Do not say anything to your pet. 4. If your pet tries to leave the bed, press and hold the “N” Button and give the “Stay” command. Continue to hold the button until your pet is back on his bed. If necessary, use the leash to guide your pet onto his place. 5.
Eliminating Unwanted Behavior Jumping Up Pets typically jump up to get attention. If you do not want your pet to jump on you, then friends or members of the family should not encourage this behavior. That means every time your pet jumps on someone, he should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable behavior, for which he can receive praise. Note: It is best if your pet first understands the “Sit” command. 1.
2. From a window or area where your pet cannot see you, wait until your pet begins to dig. 3. While your pet digs, press the “N” Button and release it when he stops digging. Only press the button while your pet is in the act of digging, and do not say anything to him. 4. Continue to watch your pet, as he may choose another area to dig. 5. Do not allow your pet in the yard unsupervised until he has completely stopped digging. Chasing Chasing is an instinctive behavior stimulated by moving objects.
5. Repeat the process until your dog stops chasing the object. 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. Pick a temptation for your pet and position yourself where he cannot see you. 2.
Excessive Barking Barking is an instinctive behavior for dogs. It is impossible to keep your dog from barking entirely, but you can teach him be quiet when you give him a command. Note: This will only be effective when you are at home with your dog. 1. Put your dog in a situation that will tempt him to bark. 2. When your dog begins to bark, press the “N” Button and give him the command “Quiet.” 3. Immediately release the button once your dog stops barking and press and hold the “P” button for 2 seconds. 4.
