Fit The Collar Receiver; Find The Best Intensity Level - SportDOG X Serie Manuel D'utilisation

STEP :: 3 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.
To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:
1. With your dog standing (3A), place the Collar Receiver
as high as possible on your dog's neck, slightly to
either side, so the Contact Points are 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.
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.
STEP :: 4 FIND THE BEST INTENSITY LEVEL
Your SportDOG® Brand system has multiple intensity levels. This allows you to choose the static stimulation
level that is best for your dog. For training efficiency, it is important to find the right intensity level for your
dog. This is called the Recognition Level, at which your dog looks around in curiosity, or flicks his ears.
NOTE: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
FINDING 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 until you find your dog's
Recognition Level. This is the level you should use when you begin a training exercise.
3. YOUR DOG SHOULD NOT VOCALISE 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. If you have progressed to the highest static stimulation level 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: you may either have to 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 or
if the static stimulation seems too high, you can try changing your Collar Receiver's stimulation range
using the following instructions. Contact the Customer Care Centre if you are not able to find your dog's
Recognition Level.
