Set the training keys to the lowest

level (page 17).

Press a training key.

Observe the dog for a reaction, such

as a head shake, neck movement, or

just a change in expression.
Sometimes dogs will vocalize due to

the surprise of the electrical

stimulation. If the dog vocalizes more

than once, the intensity level is too

high for beginning training.

If there is no reaction, increase the

intensity level by one level until the

dog has a slight but discernible

reaction to the stimulation.

The intensity level that causes a slight but

discernible reaction is your dog's baseline

level for beginning collar training. You do

not need to, and should not, apply this

intensity selection test again.
After you begin training, the dog’s

performance guides your intensity

selection. As the dog advances in

training, you may need to change the

level depending upon circumstances.

Before you begin training your dog using

the collar, your dog must show a grasp of

the "heel," "sit," and "come" while on the

leash, you must put on the collar

(page 10), and you must find the correct

intensity level (page 22).
When beginning collar training, start with

the "heel" and "sit" commands.

With the dog at your side on a leash,

pull up on the leash, and command

the dog to "sit," and also press a

training key briefly.
After the dog begins associating the

collar stimulation with the command,

move on to the "heel" command.

Many dogs indicate that it is time to

make this transition by trying to sit

before being commanded, in an effort

to avoid the stimulation associated

with the command.

With the dog at your side on a leash

and with the collar on, command

“heel” and begin walking forward while

gently pulling on the leash.
