Fit The Collar Receiver; Find The Best Intensity Level For Your Dog - SportDOG SportTrainer SD-425E Manuel D'utilisation

STEP :: 03

FIT THE COLLAR RECEIVER

IMPORTANT: The proper fit and placement of the Collar Receiver is important for effective training. The
Contact Points must have direct contact with your dog's skin.
Please see page 3 for Important Safety Information.
To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:
1. With your dog standing (3A), center the
Collar Receiver so the Contact Points are
underneath your dog's neck, touching the
skin (3B). If your dog has a long or thick
coat, you have two options to ensure
consistent contact: either trim the hair
around the Contact Points or switch to the
longer Contact Points included with your system.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the dog's neck; this may
lead to a rash or infection.
• You should not make the collar any tighter than is required for good contact. A collar that is too tight
will increase the risk of pressure necrosis in the contact area.
2. The Collar Receiver should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow one finger
to fit between the strap and your dog's neck (3C).
3. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then recheck the
fit. Check the fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable wearing the
Collar Receiver.

FIND THE BEST INTENSITY LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG

The SportTrainer® SD-425E Remote Trainer 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 efficiency, it is important to find the right intensity level for your dog. This is called the "Recognition
Level", and is the level at which your dog looks around in curiosity or flicks his ears.
TO FIND YOUR DOG'S RECOGNITION LEVEL
NOTE: Every dog is different and you cannot predict where your dog's Recognition Level will be. Watch closely for
any slight change in behaviour that demonstrates your dog is feeling the static stimulation.
1. With the Collar Receiver turned on and properly fitted 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.
