Your dog should have learned basic obedience commands such as “Sit” or “Stay”. The Collar Receiver might be too large for dogs under 15 pounds. - Once my dog completes training and is been obeying my commands, will he have to wear the Collar Receiver?
Probably not. But you may try to reinforce training with the Collar. - Can I use Dobe Dog Training System with more than one dog?
Yes, you just need to purchase another collar receiver for the system. - Can I attach a leash to the Collar Receiver?
NO. This can result in pulling the Contact Points too tightly against your dog’s neck. Attach a leash to a separate, nonmetallic collar or a harness. Ensure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points. - How long can I leave Collar Receiver on my dog?
The design of the collar discourages constant wearing.
We recommend not having the dog wear the Collar for more than 12 hour out of every 24-hour period. - How long should I Process my training session for my dog?

Troubleshooting
1. My dog is not reacting to the collar.
Make sure the receiver/collar is turned on. And check the intensity levels of vibrate, electrostatic pulse, make sure it is not set to 0.
Be sure the strap is on the dog tight enough so that both contact points are touching the dog’s skin.
The contact points may be too short for your dog’s thick or long coat. If you are already using longer contact points, you may need to trim the hair on the dog neck, so that both contact points are touching the dog’s skin.
If tested for all of the above and the dog is still not responding, please try re-pairing the Remote Transmitter and Collar Receiver.
2. I want to test Collar Receiver myself, but it does not work.
When testing the collar by your hands, please touch the two electrodes simultaneously, as touching one electrode will not work.
3. LED indicator light comes on, but I do not feel any stimulation.
Your tolerance may be higher than your dog’s. You may need to try the unit on your fingertips where sensitivity is higher and/or increase the stimulation level. Be sure both contact points are touching both of your fingertips.
The battery may be low, check the LED indicator light on the transmitter and receiver/collar for battery life.
If you have a full charge, and you have done all of the above, your unit may need to be serviced
4. The transmitter has no range, or the stimulation is weaker when my dog is farther away.
Check to see if your fingers are touching the antenna, as the range may decrease substantially.
The range indicated on the unit’s box is for flat terrain (line of sight). Heavy brush, trees, hills, buildings, and/or moisture will affect the range of your unit. For the best range, hold the transmitter vertically above your head, and/or try moving to higher ground.
Any electrical conductors will affect the range, such as cars, chain-link dog runs, metal buildings, and radio towers. For the best results, operate away from these structures.

General Training Tips
Follow these tips on how to get the best out of your Dobe Dog Training System
- Make training sessions short and positive {between 10-15 minutes long for each session.) This will enable the dog to keep its attention focused on the trainer.
- Train one dog at a time.
- During the first initial training sessions, keep the dog in a familiar outdoor environment. Training in new locations may cause the dog to become distracted, causing you to reinforce commands with the Collar Receiver more than necessary.
- Use a long leash fastened to a non-metallic collar to help the dog’s learning. Ensure the additional collar and leash does not interfere
with the Contact Points on the Collar Receiver. Do not use the dog training system without a long leash until your dogs is fully trained. - More success will occur by teaching the dog a command first before trying to reinforce the command with Remote Transmitter.
- For basic obedience training, vibration is more useful.
- Issue one obedience command at a time, this will reduce confusion and allow the dog to remain focused. Do not use the training system for commands that the dog has not learned.
- During training, look for all the positive changes in the dog’s behavior and remember to reinforce them promptly with ample praise and reward.
- Avoid over-correcting your dog. Use as little remote correction as possible during the training process.
- When the dog has become apparently perplexed, shift the focus of the training by drawing the dog’s attention to a command they
have familiarity. Example: Tell the dog to sit and give abundant praise and encouragement on successful completion of the sit command. - Do not use the dog training system to correct or eliminate forms of aggression or biting behavior. When the dog is showing signs of aggressive behavior, immediately contact a professional dog trainer in your local area.
- Please keep in mind, that you should keep training sessions short and end every session on a high note. Stop training and play with the dog as soon the dog has accomplished a new level of proficiency.
Teaching Your Dog the Positive Tone
Before using the Trainer to correct your dog, spend 10 to 15 minutes per day for 2 or 3 days helping him create the association of the tone with reward and praise. To accomplish this:
- Push the Sound button for 2 consecutive seconds.
- Release the button and immediately reward your dog with verbal praise, petting, or a small food reward, Spend 3 to 5 seconds on your rewarding.
- Wait a few minutes and repeat holding the Sound button for 2 seconds following with praise.
Vary the reward to prevent your dog from anticipating a specific type. This stage of training is complete when your dog obviously anticipates a reward when he hears the positive tone.
Teaching Basic Obedience
The “Sit” Command
- Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your dog’s neck Above the Collar Receiver, and attach a 10-foot leash.
Note: be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the contact points - Hold the leash and the Remote Transmitter in one hand. Keep your other hand free to guide your dog into a “Sit” position.
- Release the stimulation as soon as your dog sits and then give him praise.
- Release your dog from the “Sit” command and play.
- Repeat Step 2 through 4.
Note: If your dog breaks the “Sit” command, repeat steps 2 through 4, Keep you pet close to you while teaching the “Sit” command.
The “Come” Command
- Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your dog’s neck Above the Collar Receiver, and attach a 10-foot leash. Note: be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
- Hold the leash in one hand and the Remote Transmitter in the other.
- Wait for your dog to walk away from you. Once he’s far enough away, press and hold the stimulation button (electrostatic, vibration or beep) on your remote transmitter.
- Immediately give the “Come” command while holding down your desired stimulation button.
- Using the leash, gently guide your dog toward you until he begins to come in your direction.

- Quickly move backwards as your dog begins to come back to you, praising him the entire time.
- Praise your dog when he returns to you.
- Repeat Steps 3 through 8.
- Once your dog responds readily to the Come command several times, back away from him without giving a command. When your dog turns towards you, give the command Come (without stimulation) and praise him while you continue to back up. Praise your dog when he returns to you.
- Use your leash to prevent your dog from running past you. If your dog manages to run past you, repeat Step 3 through 8.
The “Stay” Command

- Once your dog has settled for a few seconds, release him and play calmly.
- Repeat steps 3 through 5.
Eliminating Unwanted Behaviour
Jumping UP
Pets typically jump up to get attention. If you do not want your dog to jump on you, then friends or members of the family should not encourage this behavior. That means every lime your dog 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 dog first understand the Sit command.
- As soon as your dog lifts his paws off the ground to jump on you, press the Stimulation Button and give the “Sit” command.
- Release the Stimulation Button immediately once your dog is sitting, and verbally praise him.
- If your dog ignores this stimulation, increase the intensity Level until he/she responds.
- Practice this exercise in several different areas and use different people for distractions.
Digging
It is important to first understand why your dog 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 dog 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 favourite toy.
Plenty of play, exercise, and attention.
A yard free from rodents or prey that he may be trying to flush out.
- Place the Receiver on your dog and wait at least 10 minutes before placing him in the yard. No other people or pets should in the yard, as you do not want your dog to associate the stimulation with anything other than his digging. Your dog must be securely fenced in or contained during training.
- From a window or area where your dog can not see you. Wait until your dog begins to dig.
- While your dog digs, press the Stimulation Button and release it when he stops digging. Only press the button while your dog is in the act of digging, and do not say anything to him.
- If your dog ignores this stimulation, increase the Intensity Level.
- Continue to watch your dog, as he may choose another area to dig.
- Do not allow your dog in the yard unsupervised until he has completely stopped digging.
Cashing
Chasing is an instinctive behavior stimulated by moving objects. Some dogs have 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 distraction Be consistent and correct your dog every time he chases something.
CAUSION
It is vitally important that you and your dog remain safe while carrying out this training. Your dog Should be on a strong leash, long enough for him to attempt to chase an object, but short enough for him not to reach a road or other unsafe area. You must also be physically strong enough or restrain your dog when he tries to chase.
- 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.
- 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.)
- 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 Stimulation button until he stops.
- 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.
- Repeat the process until your dog stops chasing the object.
Trash Raiding
The easiest way prevent trash raiding is to remove garbage and tempting food from your dog’s environment. You can use the Dog Training System to teach your dog to stay away from these items; however, you must be prepared to correct your pet every time he approaches them.
- Pick a temptation for your dog and position yourself where he can not see you.
- While your dog’s mouth is touching the temptation, press and hold the Stimulation button. Immediately release the button when your dog leaves the temptation.
- Do not say anything, as you want your dog to associate the Stimulation with his behavior, not you.
- If your dog does not respond to the Stimulation, increase the Intensity Level and repeat the process.
- 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 be quiet when you give him a command.
Note: this will only be effective when you are at home with your dog.
Choose your pet’s Recognition Level. Put your dog in a situation that will tempt him to bark.
When your dog begins to bark, press the Electrostatic Pulse button and give him the command “Quiet” . Immediately release the button once your dog stops barking and praise him.
If your dog ignores the Stimulation and continues to bark, increase the Intensity Level by I and repeat the process.
