INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase. The Havahart® Remote

Trainer will help you train your dogs to eliminate nuisance

behaviors and to follow basic obedience commands: Sit, Stay,

Heel, Wait, Down, Come, among others. The Havahart Remote

Trainer can be a useful aid in the training process, but you

will be the key factor in its success. If you consistently

spend as little as 10 minutes a day training each dog,

you’ll be surprised at the positive results – and even

amazed at how smart (and trainable) your dogs are!

Havahart is committed to the caring control of pets and

wildlife, and all of our products are designed to enhance

the relationship between animals and people. Through

effective use of Havahart training products, our goal is to

help strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does it work?

The Havahart Remote Trainer uses state-of-the-art

intelligent electronics to help train your dog to follow

your directions/commands. This is a proven technique used by

many training professionals. It is a safe and highly

effective method for both eliminating negative behavior and

creating desired positive behavior.

When you press the appropriate button, a static stimulus and

a tone are sent to the receiver collar and a correction is

delivered via the collar receiver probes. As a safety

feature, the unit automatically shuts off if a button is

pressed for 10 seconds. If you wish to use tone only to

control behavior, simply press the Warning button. Your dog

will hear an audible tone instead of receiving stimulation

and will begin to associate the tone to the misbehavior.

The Remote Trainer offers you two training modes – Tone only

or Stimulus with Tone. There are 5 levels of static stimulus

with tone.

The first time your dog receives a correction, normal

reactions may be yelping or jumping. These reactions will

decrease as he becomes accustomed to the collar. You should

notice improvements in your dog’s behavior during the first

week of training. When training, always start at the lowest

level and check your dog’s response to the static stimulus.

You should always use the lowest level necessary to get the desired response. In addition the hand held trainer can operate two collars training two dogs at the same time. This is accomplished by toggling the switch on the hand held control unit between collars. The digital read out panel tells you which collar is in operation. The training collar neck straps are color coded to distinguish them. Your remote trainer comes supplied with a single collar as most owners train only one dog.

Both installations are completed by opening the battery hatch inserting the battery and reinstalling the cover. The battery life will depend on how frequently your dog receives the static correction.

Creating Positive Behavior: Dogs are very trainable and most are eager to please their owners.

Stay: Once the dog has learned sit and down, you can introduce the stay command. Start with the dog in the sit position on your left side, leash in right hand. Place open palm of left hand in front of the dog’s face, give the stay command, step off on right foot and stand directly in front of the dog for five seconds. Return to side of the dog. Praise your dog. Gradually add time and distance to exercise until you can easily walk away from the dog while the dog stays in the desired position.
