TRAINING
TO FIND YOUR DOG’S RECOGNITION LEVEL:
NOTE: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up. Every dog is different and you cannot predict
where your dog’s recognition level will be. Watch closely for any slight change in behavior that tells you your dog
is feeling the stimulation.
For training efficiency, it is important to find the right intensity level for your dog. This is called the “recognition
level”, the level at which your dog looks around in curiosity or flicks his ears.
Your dog should not vocalize or panic when receiving stimulation. If this happens, the
stimulation level is too high and you need to go back to the previous level and repeat the process.
1. With the GPS Collar and E-Collar Module turned ON and properly fitted to your dog, select DOG TRAINING.
The DOG TRAINING screen displays.
2. Press the down arrow on the Menu Selection Pad to lower the intensity level to 1.
3. Press the stim button next to the icon (C) to apply continuous stimulation for 1 to 2 seconds.
In the event that you inadvertently press and hold any stimulation button for longer than 10
seconds the Handheld Device will enter a “time-out” period. During the “time-out” period, stimulation cannot
be delivered to the dog for 5 seconds.
4. If your dog shows no reaction to level 1, press the up arrow on the Menu Selection Pad to increase the
stimulation to level 2 and repeat the process.
5. Continue to increase the intensity level until you find your dog’s recognition level. Once you find your dog’s
recognition level, this is the level you should use when you begin a training exercise.
6. If you have progressed to level 20 while searching for your dog’s recognition level and your dog continues
to show no response, check to see if the GPS Collar with E-Collar Module is snug against your dog’s
neck. Then go back to level 1 and repeat the process. If your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the
stimulation, you can try changing the STIM RANGE setting (see “STIM RANGE” section), trimming the hair
beneath the Contact Points, or switching to longer Contact Points.
NOTE: If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling stimulation, please
contact the Customer Care Centre.
