How the System Works

The PetSafe® Remote Spray Trainer has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for pets of any size. This system assists you in controlling your pet without a leash in a range up to 300 yards. In addition to having 4 levels of spray, it also incorporates tone to reinforce training. At the push of a button, the Remote Transmitter sends a signal activating the Receiver Collar to spray. Using the Remote Spray Trainer consistently and correctly, many misbehaviors that your pet exhibits can be corrected and any basic obedience commands can be taught.

Key Deﬁ nitions

Remote 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 spray so you can match the correction to your pet’s temperament.

Upper Button: This button is factory-set to deliver a Negative Tone only. Lower Button: This button is factory-set to deliver the spray correction set by the Intensity Dial. Side Button: This button is factory-set to deliver a Positive Tone only. Universal Charging Adaptor: Used to charge the Receiver Collar and the Remote Transmitter. Charging Jack: For connecting the charger. Although the Remote Transmitter and Receiver Collar are

waterproof without the charger cover, keep the cover in place when not charging to keep debris out of the opening. Continuous Spray: You control when and how much spray is delivered to your dog through the Receiver Collar. When the spray correction (lower button) is pressed, the spray will be delivered with 1.5 second intervals. If you continue to press the lower button the spray will time out after 10 seconds. It will remains in timeout until the button is released. Negative Tone: Use a Negative Tone (Upper Button) with a spray to stop unwanted behaviors. Timing is critical. The Negative Tone followed by the spray should occur during or immediately after the unwanted behavior. Once your dog associates the Negative Tone with the spray, you will only need to use the Negative Tone. Positive Tone: Use the Positive Tone (Side Button) as a marker to reinforce positive behavior. Again, timing is critical. Praise or treat the dog immediately following the Positive Tone.

Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Remote Transmitter. It is waterproof. Low Spray Indicator: After the yellow LED appears there will be 5-10 additional sprays before

the collar is completely empty. Two Color LED: Indicates when the Receiver Collar has been turned on or off. This light also serves as a low battery indicator. Please see page 7 for additional LED functions.

Rechargeable Batteries

• The rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries are not memory sensitive

and do not require depletion before charging.

• The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge (24

hours) before the ﬁ rst use.

• Remember - Always keep batteries away from ﬂ ame.

• When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give batteries a full

charge (12 hours). This should be done once every 4 to 6 weeks.

• Excessive overcharging can shorten battery life. After initial charge, never leave the

battery plugged in for more than 12 hours.

• If your equipment has not been charged for an extended period, you may experience a

decrease in battery life the ﬁ rst few uses. Afterwards, the battery life will return to previous capacity levels.

Step

www.petsafe.net 7

• You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your batteries. However, all rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time relative to the number of recharge cycles they experience. This is normal. If your operating time drops to half of the original life, contact the Customer Care Center to purchase a new battery.

• The batteries should last for a period of 3-5 years. When a battery needs replacement, you can order a new pack by contacting our Customer Care Center or visit our website at www.petsafe.net. Please do not open the Receiver Collar or Handheld Transmitter until you have received the replacement.

Fit the Receiver Collar

Important: The proper ﬁ t and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for effective operation.

To assure a proper ﬁ t, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the Receiver Collar is turned off.

2. Start with your dog standing comfortably.

3. Place the Receiver Collar high on your dog’s neck close to the ears. Center the Receiver Collar underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin. Make sure the PetSafe

logo in the

front of the unit is upright. Note: For long-haired dogs, it may

be necessary to trim the neck hairs along the path of the spray. It is important that the spray reaches the dog’s snout to be effective.

YES

4. The PetSafe QuickFit™ Collar is designed so you can quickly attach and remove the Receiver Collar from your dog while maintaining the desired ﬁ t. a. With the Snap Buckle fastened, thread the

collar through the Metal Buckle.

b. Slide the excess collar through the “C” Loop on top of

the Snap Buckle. This will hold the collar in place.

c. Once the collar ﬁ t is determined, simply use the Snap Buckle to

remove and replace the collar.

5. The Receiver Collar should ﬁ t snugly, yet loose enough to allow one ﬁ nger to ﬁ t under the strap. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, then recheck the ﬁ t. Check the ﬁ t again as your dog becomes more comfortable with the Receiver Collar.

6. Trim the collar as follows:

a. Mark the desired length of the collar with a pen. Allow for

growth if your dog is young or grows a thick winter coat.

b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your dog and cut off excess.

Important: The Receiver Collar should not be worn for more than 8 hours out of every 24-hour period

Step

www.petsafe.net 9

Care and Cleaning

For comfort, safety, and effectiveness of this product, please ensure that you check the fit of your pet’s collar frequently. This Guide describes proper collar fitting. If any skin irritation is observed, discontinue the use of the collar for a few days. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

To prevent skin irritation from occurring:

• The Receiver Collar should not be worn for more than 8 hours out of every 24-hour period.

• The spray from the Receiver Collar may stick to the hair under your dogs snout. Clean your dog’s hair weekly with a washcloth and a mild hand soap. Rinse and dry your dog’s neck thoroughly.

• If the spray accumulates on the Receiver Collar, wipe the receiver clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Ensure a Proper Spray Pattern

For the PetSafe® Spray Bark Control Collar to perform properly, the nozzle must be positioned correctly and there must be a clear path from the Spray Nozzle to your dog’s snout. Follow these steps:

1. Make sure the PetSafe logo on the front of the unit is upright

and the Spray Nozzle is angled out and pointing up towards the dog’s snout.

2. For long-haired dogs, it may be necessary to trim the neck

hairs along the path of the spray. It is important that the spray reaches the dog’s snout to be effective.

To Fill and Reﬁ ll the Lemon Spray

• Remove the collar from your dog.

• Turn the unit off.

• Hold the Lemon Spray can upright and firmly press the nozzle

down into the Refill Port. Hold for 15 seconds and remove.

Find the Best Spray Level for Your Pet

The Spray Trainer has four (4) different Spray Levels. This allows you to choose the amount of spray that is best for your pet. Note: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.

Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your pet, it is time to ﬁ nd the Spray Level that is best for your pet. This is called the Recognition Level.

A slight change in your pet’s behavior, such as looking around in curiosity, scratching at his collar, or ﬂ icking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him.

Follow the steps below to ﬁ nd your pet’s Recognition Level:

1. Press the Upper Button (Negative Tone) for 2 to 3 seconds. If your pet reacts to this, you may

use this button for training, simply substitute the Upper Button (Negative Tone) whenever Lower Button (Spray) is used in the Training Guide section. If your pet shows no reaction, go to the next step.

2. Starting at Level 1, press the Lower Button (correction) continuously for 2 to 3 seconds.

3. If your pet shows no reaction, go to the next Spray Level and repeat the process.

4. Repeat each Spray Level several times before moving to the next level.

5. YOUR PET SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC. IF THIS HAPPENS, GO BACK TO

THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.

6. If your pet continues to show no response at Level 4, check the ﬁ t of the Receiver Collar.

If all of these steps have been done and your pet continues to show no reaction to the spray correction, contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677.

Training Guide

General Tips

• Eliminate one misbehavior or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast with the training, your pet may become confused.

• Be consistent. Give your pet a negative tone or spray correction with each misbehavior.

• Do not over-correct your pet. Use as few sprays as possible to train your pet.

• 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 training by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention to a simple and appropriate behavior such as the “Sit” command.

• Never use the Remote Spray Trainer to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behavior. If you are unsure if your dog is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certiﬁ ed trainer.

Teaching Your Pet the Positive Tone (Side Button)

Before using the Trainer to correct your pet, spend 10 to 15 minutes per day for 2 or 3 days helping him create the association of the positive tone with reward and praise. To accomplish this:

1. Push the Side Button (Positive Tone) for 2 consecutive seconds.

2. Release the button and immediately reward your pet with verbal praise, petting, or a small food

reward. Spend 3 to 5 seconds on your rewarding.

3. Wait a few minutes and repeat holding the Side Button (Positive Tone) for 2 seconds following

with praise. Vary the reward to prevent your pet from anticipating a specific type. This stage of training is complete when your pet obviously anticipates a reward when he hears the positive tone.

Using the Negative Tone (Upper Button)

As soon as your pet begins the earliest sign of misbehavior, press the Upper Button (Negative Tone). For example, if you want to teach your dog to stay off the couch, press the Upper Button (Negative Tone) as soon as he puts one paw on it. Do not wait until he is completely on the couch.

1. Hold the Upper Button (Negative Tone) for up to 2 seconds at a time, releasing the button as soon as

your pet stops the misbehavior.

2. If your pet has not stopped the misbehavior after two seconds of correction, release the Upper Button

(Negative Tone), then press it again for up to two consecutive seconds.

3. Continue this sequence until the misbehavior has stopped.

4. Once the misbehavior has stopped, count out two seconds and then push the Side Button (Positive Tone)

for two consecutive seconds.

5. Reward your pet after pushing the Side Button (Positive Tone) approximately once every 3 to 5 times, to

help your pet maintain the association of the positive tone with reward.

To Train using Spray Correction (Lower Button)

You control the timing of the spray (Lower Button) being applied to your pet. The spray correction will be delivered with 1.5 second intervals. If you continue to press the lower button the spray will time out after 10 seconds. It will remain in time out until the button is released.

Note: For any of these training methods to be effective, they must be used consistently along with the command you are trying to teach your pet.

12 1-800-732-2677

Teaching Basic Obedience

The “Sit” Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck BELOW the Receiver Collar, and attach a

10-foot leash.

2. Hold the leash and the Remote Transmitter in one hand. Keep your other hand free to guide your

pet into a “Sit” position.

3. Press and hold the Lower Button (Spray Correction).

4. Immediately give the “Sit” command while continuing to hold the Lower Button (Spray Correction).

5. Release the Lower Button (Spray Correction) as soon as your pet is in position, and praise him.

6. Release your pet from the “Sit” command and play.

7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6.

Note: If your pet breaks the “Sit” command, repeat steps 3 through 6. Keep your pet close to you while teaching the “Sit” command.

www.petsafe.net 13

The “Come” Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your

pet’s neck BELOW the Receiver Collar, and attach a 10-foot leash.

2. Hold your leash in one hand and the Remote

Transmitter in the other.

3. Wait for your pet to walk away from you.

Using the Recognition Level for your pet, press and hold the Lower Button (Spray Correction) on your Remote Transmitter.

4. Immediately give the command “Come” while

continuing to hold the Lower Button (Spray Correction).

5. Using the leash, gently guide your pet toward

you until he begins to come in your direction.

6. Immediately release the Lower Button (Spray

Correction) as soon as your pet steps towards you, and praise him enthusiastically.

7. Quickly move backwards as your pet begins

to come back to you, praising him the entire time.

8. Praise your pet when he returns to you.

9. Repeat Steps 3 through 8.

10. Once your pet responds readily to the

“Come” command several times, back away from him without giving a command. When your pet turns toward you, give the command “Come” (WITHOUT SPRAY CORRECTION) and praise him while you continue to back up. Praise your pet when he returns to you.

11. Use your leash to prevent your pet from

running past you. If your pet manages to run past you, repeat Steps 3 through 8.

14 1-800-732-2677

The “Stay” Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck BELOW the Receiver Collar, and attach a 10-

foot leash.

2. Put your pet on his bed. Hold your leash in one hand and the Remote Transmitter in the other.

3. Staying within 3 feet, walk the perimeter of the bed. Do not say anything to your pet.

4. If your pet tries to leave the bed, press and hold the Lower Button (Spray Correction) and give the

“Stay” command. Continue to hold the button until your pet is back on his bed. If necessary, use the leash to guide your pet onto his place.

5. Praise your pet when he is back on his bed.

6. Once your pet has settled for a few seconds, release him and play calmly.

7. Repeat steps 1 through 5.

____________________________________________________________________

Eliminating Unwanted Behavior

Jumping Up

Pets typically jump up to get attention. If you do not want your pet to jump on you, then friends or members of the family should not encourage this behavior. That means every time your pet jumps on someone, he should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable behavior, for which he can receive praise.

Note: It is best if your pet first understands the “Sit” command.

1. Choose your pet’s Recognition Level.

2. As soon as your pet lifts his paws off the ground to jump on you, press the Lower Button (Spray Correction) and give the command “Sit.”

3. Release the Lower Button (Spray Correction) immediately once your pet is sitting, and verbally praise him.

4. If your pet ignores the spray correction, increase the Spray Level by 1.

5. Practice this exercise in several different areas

and use different people for distractions.

www.petsafe.net 15

Digging

It is important to first understand why your pet is digging. Many dogs, such as terriers, were bred to flush out prey, and digging is very innate to them. Other dogs may be digging to find a cool spot to lie down, or simply out of boredom. Your pet may no longer have the desire to dig if he is provided with the following:

• A cool, shaded area in which to lie down, and plenty of water.

• An alternate activity, such as a favorite toy.

• Plenty of play, exercise, and attention.

• A yard free from rodents or prey that he may be trying to ﬂ ush out.

1. Choose the Spray Level 1 higher than your pet’s Recognition Level.

2. Place the Receiver Collar on your pet and wait at least 10 minutes before placing him in the yard. No other people or pets should be in the yard, as you do not want your pet to associate the

Spray Correction with anything other than his digging. Your pet must be securely fenced in or contained during training.

3. From a window or area where your pet cannot see you, wait until your pet begins to dig.

4. While your pet digs, press the Lower Button (Spray Correction) and release it when he stops digging. Only press the button while your pet is in the act of digging, and do not say anything to him.

6. If your pet ignores the Spray Correction, increase the

Spray

Level by 1.

6. Continue to watch your pet, as he may choose another area to dig.

7. Do not allow your pet in the yard unsupervised until he has completely stopped digging.

Chasing

Chasing is an instinctive behavior stimulated by moving objects. Some dogs have a particularly strong desire to chase that can put them in harm’s way and leave you helpless. Never allow your dog off the leash or out of a contained area until he has learned the “Come” command, regardless of the distraction. Be consistent and correct your dog every time he chases something.

1. If your dog has not learned the “Come” command, keep a leash on him so you can physically stop him before he

reaches the object he is chasing.

2. Choose the

Spray

Level 1 higher than your dog’s Recognition Level.

3. Set up a scenario where your dog is enticed to chase an object. Common

items could be cars, motorcycles, bicycles, etc. (Do not use toys).

4. When the object passes in front of your dog, make sure to hold the leash

with a firm grip. As soon as your dog begins to chase the object, press and hold the Lower Button (Spray Correction) until he stops.

5. When your dog stops chasing the object, immediately release the button,

walk backwards and give the command “Come.” Praise your dog as he comes to you.

6. Repeat the process until your dog stops chasing the object.

16 1-800-732-2677

Trash Raiding

The easiest way to prevent trash raiding is to remove garbage and tempting food from your pet’s environment. You can use the Remote Spray Trainer to teach your pet to stay away from these items; however, you must be prepared to correct your pet every time he approaches them.

1. Choose the

Spray

Level 1 higher than your pet’s Recognition Level.

2. Pick a temptation for your pet and position yourself where he cannot see you.

3. While your pet’s mouth is touching the temptation, press and hold the Lower Button (Spray Correction). Immediately release the button when your pet leaves the temptation.

4. Do not say anything, as you want your pet to associate the spray with his behavior, not you.

5. If your pet does not respond to the Spray Correction, increase the Spray

Level by 1 and repeat the process.

6. Repeat this process in several different locations with different temptations.

Excessive Barking

Barking is an instinctive behavior for dogs. It is impossible to keep your dog from barking entirely, but you can teach him to be quiet when you give him a command.

Note: This will only be effective when you are at home with your dog.

1. Choose your pet’s Recognition Level.

2. Put your dog in a situation that will tempt him to bark.

3. When your dog begins to bark, press the Lower Button (Spray Correction) and give him the command “Quiet.”

4. Immediately release the button once your dog stops barking and praise him.

5. If your dog ignores the Spray Correction and continues to bark, increase the

Spray

Level by 1 and repeat the process.

6. Practice this exercise in different areas using different situations that would cause your dog to bark.

Frequently Asked Questions

How old does my pet have to be before using the PetSafe® Remote Spray Trainer?

Your pet should be able to recognize basic obedience commands such as “Sit” or “Stay”.

Once my pet is trained and has been obeying my commands, will he have to continue to wear the Receiver Collar?

Probably not. You may need to reinforce training with the Receiver Collar from time to time.

Is the Receiver Collar waterproof?

Yes. When changing the battery, be sure to keep the area free of dirt and debris.

Can I use the Remote Spray Trainer on aggressive dogs or stop my dog from being aggressive?

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

Will I get exactly 300 yards of range with the Remote Spray Trainer?

The range of the Remote Spray Trainer will vary according to terrain, weather, vegetation, as well as transmission from other radio devices.
