3. Charging the Transmitter and Receiver

Before using the Educator EZ Dog Training Collar, fully charge both the transmitter and receiver using the included dual charger. Connect the charger to the charging port on both the transmitter and receiver. Charge for approximately 2 hours, or until the LED indicators show a full charge.

4. Fitting the Collar on Your Dog

To ensure proper contact and effective training, fit the collar snugly on your dog's neck, with the receiver positioned at the front of the neck. The collar should be tight enough that the contact points touch the skin, but not so tight that it restricts your dog's movement or breathing. Check the fit regularly and adjust as needed.

5. Understanding the Transmitter Controls

The ergonomic remote transmitter features an LCD display with backlight, a thumb dial for adjusting stimulation levels, and buttons for selecting different stimulation modes. The transmitter also has a tracking light and beeper to help locate your dog in low-light conditions.

6. Selecting Stimulation Modes and Levels

The Educator EZ Dog Training Collar offers five stimulation modes to choose from: constant, tapping sensation, classical/Pavlovian conditioning, constant tone, and tone followed by continuous stimulation. Use the transmitter buttons to select the desired mode, and adjust the stimulation level using the thumb dial. Start with the lowest level and gradually increase until you find the level that gets your dog's attention without causing discomfort.

7. Training Your Dog

Begin training your dog using the selected stimulation mode and level. Consistently and clearly communicate your desired behavior to your dog, and use the collar to reinforce your commands. Remember to always use positive reinforcement and reward your dog for good behavior.

8. Troubleshooting Tips

• If the collar is not responding, ensure that both the transmitter and receiver are fully charged.
• Check the collar fit and contact points to ensure proper contact with your dog's skin.
• If the stimulation level seems too high or too low, adjust the level using the thumb dial on the transmitter.
• For additional customization and troubleshooting, use the USB computer interface tool to connect the transmitter to your computer and access the collar's settings.
