The collar for my 5140 or 5132 comes preset at Level 1. How do I change the correction level?  
 

There are 5 available correction levels. To increase the correction level, press button for less than 2 seconds for the number of times for each correction level. For example, press 3 times for less than 2 seconds each time for Level 3 correction. Remember when training, always start at the lowest level and check your dogs response to the stimulus. You should always use the lowest level necessary to get the desired response.
 

 
 
 
How long will training take for my 5140 or 5132?  
 

Each step should take approximately three days to complete. Training will take 10-20 minutes, 2-4 times a day for 7-14 days.
