Change Static Stimulation Ranges; General Training Tips - Petsafe SportDog SportTrainer SD-1225E Manuel D'utilisation

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 three options: trim
the hair beneath the Contact Points, switch to the longer Contact Points included in your system, or change the static
stimulation range.
If after completing all of these steps your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the static stimulation, please contact the
Customer Care Centre.

CHANGE STATIC STIMULATION RANGES

The SportTrainer® SD-1225E Collar Receiver has 3 static stimulation ranges (low, medium, and high). There are 8 static
stimulation levels within each range, with 1 being the lowest and 8 being the highest. The default range setting is 2 (medium).
To change the range of static stimulation, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the Collar Receiver is off.
2. Turn the unit on by pressing and releasing the On/Off Button.
3. Within 5 seconds of the Indicator Light turning off, press and hold the On/Off Button for 3 seconds.
4. The Collar Receiver will then beep once and the Indicator Light will flash orange. This indicates Low static stimulation
range. If Medium or High is desired, continue to hold the On/Off Button until the number of beeps/orange flashes equals
the desired static stimulation range, as shown in the chart below.
5. Release the On/Off Button once the desired range is selected; the Collar Receiver will turn off.
6. Turn the unit back on. It will then beep according to the static stimulation range selected in Step 4.
STATIC STIMULATION RANGE
1 beep Low

GENERAL TRAINING TIPS

BEFORE TRAINING YOUR DOG WITH THIS PRODUCT
You will have the most success using this remote trainer if you always remember to teach a command before trying to
reinforce the command with a remote trainer. Always keep the following training tips in mind:
• Eliminate one misbehaviour or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with the training, your dog
may become confused.
• Be consistent. Give your dog a static, tone, or vibration stimulation with each misbehaviour.
• Do not overcorrect your dog. Use as few stimulations as possible to train your dog.
• Restrict your dog from situations in which he has a history of misbehaving unless you can supervise him and use the
SportTrainer® SD-1225E Remote Trainer for applying static, tone, or vibration stimulation.
• If you notice one situation in which your dog misbehaves repeatedly, set up this situation as a training session. This will
dramatically increase your chances of success.
• If your dog has a timid reaction to the static, tone, or vibration stimulation (especially the first couple of times), do not be
alarmed. Redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate behaviour (i.e. a known command, such as "Sit").
• Never use the SportTrainer® SD-1225E Remote Trainer to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behaviour. If your
dog exhibits such behaviour, contact a professional trainer. Aggression in dogs is the result of many factors. It may be a
learned behaviour or it may be brought on as a result of fear. Another factor contributing to aggression in dogs is social
dominance. Every dog is different.
