VT-100 Remote Vibration Trainer

We do not recommend any of our products be used on aggressive dogs. If you are unsure if your dog is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certified trainer.

• Eliminate one misbehaviour or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with training, your pet may become confused.
• Be consistent. Communicate with your pet using the remote trainer every time he misbehaves.
• Unless you can supervise him, it is recommended that you restrict your pet from situations in which he has a history of misbehaving. However, setting up a situation as a training session can dramatically improve your chances of success.
• If your pet reacts to the tones by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate behavior, such as the sit command.
• Pets should be at least 6 months old before using the Trainer.
• Only let responsible family members use the Trainer. It is not a toy.
• Other pets in hearing range will be affected by the training tones. Therefore, training sessions should be conducted out of hearing range of other pets.
• Never use the Remote Trainer to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behaviour. If you are unsure if your dog is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certified trainer.

• Be sure that collar and remote are correctly charged and/or have batteries with enough charge.
• Check if the collar and remote are still synchronised, or just as a precaution, follow the procedure anyway. Check your manual for instructions on synchronising for your specific product.
• Remove the battery from the collar and press a button on the remote to give a stimulation. Then reinsert the battery and try again. The system needs to be synchronised for this to work.

• Verify collar is turned on.
• Check batteries or check battery charge of collar and transmitter.
• Check the stimulation on the collar with the test light tool (for collars with static stimulation).
• Ensure proper collar fit. Place the receiver on dog's neck close to the ears. Fit should be snug, allowing 1 finger to fit between the end of the contact point and the dog's neck.
• Make sure the collar is set to the right stimulation level or mode.
• Make sure the transmitter is set to the right stimulation level or mode. Maybe a mode has been chosen for more than 1 dog, while you only have 1 dog/collar synchronised.
• Increase the stimulation level. You can use the Boost button if your system has one.
• Synchronise collar and transmitter if necessary.
• Your dog may have become used to the stimulation. Stop using the collar for a few weeks, or switch to tone mode if your collar has this feature.
• Make sure your dog is within range of the system. Test the system standing very close to your dog, then gradually increase the distance to find the system’s maximum range in that location.
• If your dog is not responding but the collar is working, repeat training steps. Some dogs benefit from an occasional reminder lesson.
• If there was a specific incident when your dog failed to respond to the trainer, consider the situation. Was there a distraction, such as a rabbit running by or a barking dog? You might need to use a higher level of stimulation in these cases, and you can use lower levels when your dog is more relaxed or less distracted.

For collars with static stimulation

• Make sure the contact probes are making skin contact. This is where the static stimulation is delivered.
• Trim your dog's fur where the contact points touch the neck. Do not shave your dog’s fur.
• Purchase long contact points or use the ones included with your system if applicable.

For collars with spray stimulation

Make sure there is enough spray in the collar.

Typical range is 65-75% of the maximum range due to terrain, weather, buildings, cables, hills/valleys, power lines, etc. If you are in a high-influence area, for example near big radio-emitters or high-power-lines, this can reduce greatly the range. The same can happen if you are on the top of a hill while your dog is in the valley, or vice versa.

If you are experiencing less than 50% range or if these environmental factors have been eliminated:

• Try your trainer in a different area.
• Replace the batteries, or if they are rechargeable, ensure the collar and transmitter are charged.
• Ensure the remote transmitter and the collar are correctly synchronised.
• If your remote has an antenna that can be screwed on, make sure it is tight.

Probably not, but it depends on how well your dog listens to your commands without the collar on. He may need to wear the collar from time to time for reinforcement.

Your pet should be at least 6 months old and be able to recognise basic obedience commands such as ‘sit’ and ‘stay’.
