How the System Works

The PetSafe® Train 'n Praise™ Potty Training System is an innovative aid to housebreaking. It is a reward system that uses an automated Treat Dispenser with Moisture Detection Pee Pads. A Handheld Remote for the Dispenser is also included for easy potty training in any room. When your dog has properly used the pee pad, the behavior is reinforced by providing the treat from the Treat Dispenser! Your dog will associate the usage of the pee pads with the treat and will repeat using the pads when you're not there.

For successful use of the PetSafe

Train 'n Praise™ Potty Training System we recommend at least 2-4 weeks of

training with your new puppy or dog. We have included some guidelines with this operating and training guide.

4. Open the Hopper lid on the Treat Dispenser to size the

treats/kibble before ﬁlling. This Treat Dispenser requires dry treats or kibble that can ﬁt through the dispenser. Round or oval kibble of uniform size and shape work best, 1/2" size or smaller. The treat/ kibble size indicator is located inside the Hopper lid (2C).

For dry treats/kibble up to 1/2" size or smaller only.

5. Remove the Hopper by pressing the Hopper button. Locate the ramp in

the treat compartment. Move the ramp to correspond to the measured treat size. If the kibble ﬁts into the cup labeled 1, the ramp needs to be in the lower position (2D). In this position you should be able to see the upper setting hole. If the kibble is larger and ﬁts into cup 2, then the ramp must be snapped into the upper position (2E). Note: The

ramp will be set by default from the factory in the lower position for #1 size treats.

6. Once the treat/kibble size and ramp height have

been determined, ﬁll the Hopper to the ﬁll line (2F) and close the hopper lid.

7. Press and release the power button on front of the

Dispenser to turn the Dispenser on. The LED’s will light to indicate it is on and will display the battery status (see Battery Status Indicator below).

8. The audible tone is on from the factory. Turn the tone switch off (on back of

Dispenser) if you prefer to train without it.

9. Press the button on the Handheld Remote to dispense the dry treats/kibble.

10. To turn the Treat Dispenser off, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds

or until the Red LED's turn off.
