What you need

  • 4 D-cell alkaline batteries
  • Dry or semi-moist treats or kibble
  • Phillips (cross head) screwdriver

How it works

The Teach & Treat is a reward system that reinforces good behavior by remotely dispensing dry treats/kibble at the push of a button. It can be used with or without an audible tone and also has a Fixed/Variable setting for the treats/kibble. The system is very e˜ective in stopping problem behaviors such as begging and jumping on guests and teaching calm behaviors such as Down/Stay.

Nutritionally balanced diet for your dog

It is important that your dog is already on a nutritionally balanced feeding program before you begin using the Teach & Treat. If you are using dry dog food/kibble, ensure it is the correct size and can be used in the Teach & Treat for training.
Note: If you free feed your dog and he shows no interest in the kibble from the Teach & Treat, change to specific meal feeding times during the day while training with the Teach & Treat. This should make the dispensed kibble more enticing. If you use treats instead of kibble, your training sessions should be extended over a longer period, and the total calorie intake should be subtracted from your dog’s daily intake of food. For most dogs, treats should make up less than 10% of a dog’s daily food intake.

Install the batteries

  1. Remove the battery door on the bottom of the dispenser and insert 4 D-cell alkaline batteries (not included). Replace the battery door.
    Remove the screw securing the battery

  2. cover to the back of the remote. Insert two 3V Lithium CR2032 batteries (provided) Replace the battery cover
    The LED on the remote glows green when the batteries are good, and red when the batteries are low.

Load treats or kibble

We recommend you wash and rinse the tray liner and the treat/kibble discs before use. Once the parts are dry, replace the tray liner and continue setup:

  1. Select the kibble disc that best fits the dry or semi-moist kibble or treat you will be using. (Oval or round treats/kibble of uniform size work best.)
  2. Place the selected disc onto the dispensing mechanism in the hopper and turn it clockwise to lock it in place.
    Add 1-2 cups of your dog’s favorite dry or semi-moist treats/kibble to the hopper.
    If using your dog’s regular meal for training. place one meal’s worth of food in the hopper.
