How the System Works

The PetSafe® 400 Yard 2-Dog Trainer has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for all pets
greater than 8 lb and at least 6 months old. This system assists you in controlling your pet without
a leash in a range up to 400 yards. At the push of a button, the Handheld Transmitter sends a
signal, activating the Receiver Collar. Using the Remote Trainer consistently and correctly, many
misbehaviors that your pet exhibits can be corrected or any basic obedience commands can be taught.

Important: The 400 Yard 2-Dog Trainer has a range of up to 400
yards. Depending on the way you hold the Handheld Transmitter, the
maximum range may vary. For consistent results at longer ranges, hold
the Handheld Transmitter in a vertical position away from your body
and above your head. Terrain, weather, vegetation, transmission from
other radio devices, and other factors will affect the maximum range.

Key Defi nitions

Handheld Transmitter: Transmits the radio signal to the Receiver Collar. It is waterproof.
Transmitter Indicator Light: Indicates that a button is pressed and also serves as a low-battery

indicator.
Intensity Dial: Provides multiple levels of Stimulation so you can match the correction to your pet’s

temperament.
Upper Button: This button is factory-set to deliver continuous stimulation for the Receiver Collar with the

red collar (Dog 1).
Lower Button: This button is factory-set to deliver Continuous Stimulation for the Receiver Collar with

the black collar (Dog 2).
Side Button: This button is not used in factory-set mode. It is used in modes that are user selectable. (See

page 10 for more detail.)

Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Handheld Transmitter. It is waterproof.
On/Off Button: Momentarily pressing and holding this button turns the Receiver Collar on and off.
Contact Points: The contacts through which the Receiver Collar delivers Stimulation.
Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates when the Receiver Collar has been turned on or off and also serves

as a low-battery indicator.
Charging Jacks:

For connecting the charger. Although the Handheld Transmitter and Receiver Collar are
waterproof without the charger covers, keep the covers in place when not charging to keep debris out of the
openings.

Continuous Stimulation: You control when and how long Stimulation is delivered to your dog through
the Receiver Collar’s Contact Points. When a Continuous Stimulation button is pressed for 8 seconds or
more, the Handheld Transmitter will “time-out.” The button will need to be released and pressed again
before additional Stimulation can be delivered.

Negative Tone: Use a Negative Tone with a Stimulation to stop unwanted behaviors. Timing is critical.
The Negative Tone followed by the Stimulation should occur during or immediately after the unwanted
behavior. Once your dog associates the Negative Tone with the Stimulation, you will only need to use the
Negative Tone. (This feature is for 1-dog mode only.)

Positive Tone: Use the Positive Tone as a marker to reinforce positive behavior. Again, timing is critical.
Praise or treat the dog immediately following the Positive Tone.(This feature is for 1-dog mode only.)
