What What is the difference between Teach Me Mode and Calm Me Mode? Teach Me Mode Teach Me Mode consists of sequences of tones that results in a food reward, just like the Calm Me Mode. However, in the initial sequences of this mode, if the dog barks, they hear the “Uh-Oh” tone, and the sequences continue. A dog should begin training in this mode and continue for at least 5 training sessions so they are able to learn what the tones mean.
