How to find the best Vibration/Shock Level
The unit comes with Up and Down buttons to control the
Vibration/Shock Level, with Level 1 being the lowest level and Level 16
being the highest.
The level of Vibration/Shock best suited for your dog depends on your
dog’s temperament and threshold for Vibration/Shock. Always start at
the lowest level and work your way up.
The appropriate level can be found when the dog responds to the
Vibration/Shock with a mild reaction, such as a tensing of the neck
muscles. The Vibration/Shock Level may vary depending on the
training situation. When highly distracted, dogs will require a higher
level of Vibration/Shock.

To maximize the distance
The unit has a 600 meter range. The range may vary depending on
the way the Transmitter is held. Hold the Transmitter away from your
body to receive the greatest range. For maximum signal strength,
keep the device properly charged.

Collar fitting
The Receiver/Collar should be fitted so that the surgical stainless steel
contact points press firmly against the dog’s skin. When properly fitted,
you should be able to fit a finger or two snugly in between the collar and
you dog’s skin. When properly fitted, the Receiver/Collar should not
move on the dog. The best location for the Receiver/Collar box is either
side of the dog’s windpipe.
A loose fit can allow the Receiver/Collar to move around on the dog’s
neck. When this happens, the contact points may rub the skin and
cause irritation. If the Receiver/Collar is too tight, the dogs may have
difficulty breathing.
