The Training Mode is suitable for correcting common unwanted behaviors in your dog, such as excessive barking, digging, or jumping. This mode emits a continuous ultrasonic wave in the 20-25 kHz range.

1. Ensure the device is unlocked (LED/Lock switch is not in the "Lock" position).
2. Point the device directly at the dog from a distance of up to 25 feet.
3. Press and hold the Training Button (the upper button). The device will emit an ultrasonic sound and vibrate.
4. Release the button once the dog stops the unwanted behavior.
5. Use this mode in conjunction with verbal commands and positive reinforcement for effective training.

4.2 Deterrent Mode (Enhanced Mode)

The Deterrent Mode is designed for more immediate intervention, such as deterring aggressive dogs or stopping persistent unwanted behaviors. This mode emits a higher frequency and faster ultrasonic wave (7-10 times per second) with an effective range of up to 33 feet.

1. Ensure the device is unlocked.
2. Point the device directly at the dog.
3. Press and hold the Repellent Button (the lower button). The device will emit a stronger ultrasonic sound, vibrate, and may activate a burst LED flash.
