Finding the Dog’s Sensitivity Level. Before you train

your dog with the Sportsman, you must find the dog’s

sensitivity level. Dogs are like people in that they all

have individual sensitivity levels.

The correct intensity to begin basic training is one

that will motivate your dog to obey, but will not

overwhelm him.

To select the right intensity level, start with the lowest

variable intensity contact point (the brown #1 point) in

the collar. Be sure you have set the upper rocker switch

on the transmitter to C (continuous stimulation).

Press the stimulation button on the transmitter and

hold it down for about a second. Watch the dog’s

expression. You want to see him cock his ears or

quickly move his head. Usually he’ll have a quizzical

expression on his face. This tells you that the dog

has felt the stimulation.

Use the plastic contact

point wrench to

tighten or change

the contact points.
