How the System Works

Now you can experience the difference a Remote Trainer can make. Spend less time training and more time enjoying your dog. The PetSafe® Venture™ Series Remote Trainers are comfortable for your pet and easy to use with an advanced digital display that tells you exactly what level of stimulation you are using.

The Remote Trainer assists you in controlling your pet without a leash in a range of either 400 or 1000 yards. At the push of a button, your remote sends a signal activating your dog’s Receiver Collar. He receives a safe but annoying stimulation. He’ll quickly learn the association between his behavior and your correction; in no time, you’ll have a better-behaved pet. The PetSafe® Venture™ Series Remote Trainers have been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for both small and large dog breeds.

Important: The Venture™ Series Remote Trainers have a range of up to 400 or 1000 yards. Depending on the way you hold the Remote Transmitter, the maximum range may vary. Terrain, weather, vegetation, transmission from other radio devices, and other factors will affect the maximum range.

Receiver Collar: Delivers stimulation or tone on a signal from the Remote 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 Remote 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 Remote Transmitter will “time-out.” The button will need to be released and pressed again before additional Stimulation can be delivered.

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.
