®
.

6.
Start using!
We recommend that you familiarize your pet with the Pet Tutor
®
before you use the device for training
and/or enrichment purposes
.
-
Place the Pet Tutor
®
in your pet’s reach and allow your pet to touch and smell the device.
-
Set the tone and volume of the sound marker (mute if animal is sound sensitive) as you will use it in
training or enrichment.
-
Fill the Pet Tutor
®
with your dog’s meal and set it on Automatic Timer mode. Let your dog eat 1-2 full
meals from the device both in the bowl and in the chase feed configuration.
-
Most animals are immediately comfortable with the Pet Tutor
®
. However if your pet is likely to be anxious
about the device, you can place it out of reach (i.e.: on the counter), with the tone set at a Low volume (or
on Mute) and let the treats shoot out the chase feed onto the floor. If your pet is shy, you may also
manually place a few treats in the bowl a few times to help your pet associate the device with the
dispensing of the treats. Once your pet shows excitement and immediate orientation to the sound, you
may begin using it with your pet. Do not start using the device for training or enrichment until your pet is
totally comfortable with the device.
