TRAINING GUIDE
General Tips
Introducing the Remote Spray Trainer: Introduce your PetSafe
® Receiver Collar when your
dog graduates from puppy stage and understands basic obedience commands. PetSafe ®
Receiver Collars should only be used with pets who are over 6 months of age.
Note: Other pets in hearing range will be affected by the training tones. Therefore, training
sessions should be conducted out of hearing range of other pets.
Avoiding a “Collar Wise” dog: Try to avoid letting your dog become “collar wise”, obeying
only when wearing the PetSafe ® Receiver Collar. Similarly, avoid letting the dog learn to obey
only when seeing the Handheld Remote in your hand. This is easy to prevent (see “Remain the
Leader” in the following “Dog Training Recommendations” section).
Training Sessions & Determining Stimulation Levels: Keep your training sessions short
and watch your dog’s reaction - your pet will tell you what Stimulation Level is appropriate to
use and when to release the button. Please refer to “Find the Best Spray Level for Your Pet” for
additional information.
Stopping Unwanted Behaviour: When stopping unwanted behaviour, it is suggested to
use higher Stimulation Levels - the pet should be convinced that his unacceptable actions (not
you) caused the annoying sensation to happen.
Dogs First Learn One Command: Focus on learning one command before moving on
to another. When teaching a command like “heel”, “come”, “sit”, or “down”, many trainers
recommend using low Stimulation Levels. The dog quickly learns to turn off or completely
avoid the unpleasant sensation.
Reinforcing Known Commands: To reinforce commands the dog already knows, it is
suggested to use medium Stimulation Levels. This teaches the dog to respect instructions by
always listening and obeying.
Note: Using praise or treats to reward the correct response is great for encouraging the dog,
but it is suggested you and your family members always remain the dog’s leader.
Never use the Remote Spray Trainer to eliminate any form of aggressive
behaviour. We recommend you contact your local veterinarian or professional
trainer to determine if your pet might be aggressive.
Training Your Pet with Positive Tone
Before using the Remote Trainer to correct your pet, spend 10 to 15 minutes per day for 2 or 3
days helping him create the association of the tone with reward and praise. To accomplish this:
1. Push the Tone Button for 2 consecutive seconds.
2. Release the button and immediately reward your pet with verbal praise, petting, or a small
food reward. Spend 3 to 5 seconds on your rewarding.
3. Wait a few minutes and repeat holding the Tone Button for 2 seconds following with praise.
Vary the reward to prevent your pet from anticipating a specific type. This stage of training is
complete when your pet obviously anticipates a reward when he hears the tone.
