FIND THE BEST INTENSITY LEVEL FOR YOUR DOG
The SportTrainer
®
1825E has multiple intensity levels. This allows you to choose the stimulation that is
best for your dog.
NOTE: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
For training effi ciency, it is important to fi nd the right intensity level for your dog. This is called the
Recognition Level, at which your dog looks around in curiosity, or fl icks his ears.
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 tells you your dog is feeling the stimulation.
1. With the Collar Receiver turned on and properly fi tted to your dog, set the Remote Transmitter’s
Intensity Dial at Level 1 and press the Continuous 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 STIMULATION. IF THIS
HAPPENS, THE STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS
LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.
4. Once you fi nd your dog’s Recognition Level, this is the level you should use when you begin a
training
exercise.
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 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 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 stimulation, please
contact the Customer Care Centre.
