FIND THE BEST INTENSITY LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG

The YardTrainer 350 has multiple intensity levels. This allows you to choose the static stimulation that is best

for your dog.

NOTE: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.

For training eﬃ ciency, it is important to ﬁ nd the right intensity level for your dog. This is called the Recognition

Level, at which your dog looks around in curiosity or ﬂ icks his ears.

FINDING YOUR DOG’S RECOGNITION LEVEL:

NOTE: Every dog is diﬀ erent and you cannot predict where your dog’s Recognition Level will be. Watch closely

for any slight change in behavior that demonstrates your dog is feeling the static stimulation.

1. With the Collar Receiver turned on and properly ﬁ tted to your dog, set the Remote Transmitter’s Intensity

Dial at Level 1 and press the Continuous static stimulation button for 1 to 2 seconds.

2. If your dog shows no reaction to Level 1, go to Level 2 and repeat the process.

3. YOUR DOG SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STATIC STIMULATION. IF THIS

HAPPENS, THE STATIC STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS

LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.

4. Once you ﬁ nd your dog’s Recognition Level, this is the level you should use when you begin a

training exercise.

5. If you have progressed to Level 8 while searching for your dog’s Recognition Level and your dog

continues to show no response, check to see if the Collar Receiver is snug against your dog’s

neck. Then go back to Intensity Level 1 and repeat the process. If your dog still does not indicate he is

feeling the static stimulation, you have two options: trim the hair beneath the Contact Points or

switch to

the longer Contact Points included in your system.

If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the static stimulation, please

contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-0144.

2. The Collar Receiver should ﬁ t snugly, yet loose enough to allow one

ﬁ nger to ﬁ t between the strap and your dog’s neck (3C).

3. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then

recheck the ﬁ t. Check the ﬁ t again as

your dog becomes more

comfortable wearing the Collar Receiver.
