    BASIC TRAINING BEFORE TRAINING YOUR DOG WITH THIS PRODUCT You will have the most success using this Remote Trainer if you always remember to teach a command before trying to reinforce the command with a Remote Trainer. We recommend that you read the following Basic Training instructions before training with this Remote Trainer.
  • Page 13 THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMAND: HERE “Here” is the most important command your dog will ever learn. It is an escape from almost any trouble. “Here” tells your dog to come to you immediately and without deviation. This command is very easy for your dog to learn if you will speak its language.
  • Page 14 ANOTHER POSITIONAL COMMAND: SIT The next command to teach is “Sit.” With this command, you tell your dog to sit and remain seated until it receives another command. The leash applies pressure to the underside of the dog’s neck when you are training it to sit.
  • Page 15 What should you do if your dog decides it does not want to enter? You know it will give to the pressure of a leash, so lead it into the proper area and command “Kennel.” Once in the correct place, stroke pup on the shoulder until you see acceptance via the swallow response.
  • Page 16 And they were often unreliable. SportDOG Brand remote training systems ® are an example of how advanced e-training products have become. SportDOG Brand offers several excellent models that work at great distances over land or in water. THE RIGHT WAY TO BEGIN Your dog needs to start wearing an e-collar as soon as it can comfortably support the collar’s weight.
  • Page 17 FINDING THE CORRECT STATIC STIMULATION LEVEL The hardest thing about using an e-collar is finding the proper level of static stimulation and sticking with it. Some folks are of the opinion that you should use continuous high-level static stimulation until the dog complies. Others think you should use low-level continuous static stimulation. Both programs can work and create a dog that performs great, but either of these methods could lead to trouble for a novice trainer.
  • Page 18 USING AN E-COLLAR TO REINFORCE OBEDIENCE COMMANDS “HERE” Bolting can become a disastrous side-effect of e-collar conditioning if your dog is allowed to move away from your control. Therefore, keep using the leash until the conditioning process is finished. Toss a few bumpers and work on obedience drills in the training area.
  • Page 19 “HEEL” Your dog learned to heel beside you earlier in the program, and transferring this command to e-collar correction is simple. Walk your dog on-leash and change directions. As the leash tightens, command “Heel,” give a brief correction with the collar and command “Heel” again. It is important to apply the brief correction at the same time the leash is tight instead of when the dog is coming to you.
