MY DOG DOESN’T RESPOND TO MY CABELA’S® GUN DOG® GS-8000 COLLAR

Ensure that both the handheld and collar receiver have sufficient charge, and the collar is powered on.

• If sufficiently charged and powered on, the collar receiver should blink green every 5 seconds, and the handheld’s indicator battery icon will appear full.
• For more information on charging, visit HOW TO CHARGE MY CABELA’S® GUN DOG® GS-8000 REMOTE TRAINER.

Ensure that both contact points on your collar receiver are hand tight.

Verify that your handheld and collar receiver are paired.

• To confirm this, set the handheld level to any number 1-15and then press the button you use to correct your dog. Be careful not to touch the contact points to avoid feeling the static stimulation. The collar receiver’s indicator light will light up a solid red while the button is being pressed if paired.
• If the collar does not light up, please pair your handheld, and collar receiver. You can learn how to do that by referring to HOW TO PAIR THE CABELA’S® GUN DOG® GS-8000 HANDHELD AND COLLAR.

Ensure that the collar is delivering the stimulation.

Set the stimulation level to 15.

Place the test light tool’s two wires on the collar’s contact points.

Press and hold the upper button on the front of the remote. An amber-colored light will glow in the center of the test light tool, confirming static stimulation is being delivered. 

Ensure that the collar is fit properly on your dog. Visit HOW TO FIT THE CABELA'S® REMOTE TRAINER COLLAR TO MY DOG for more information.
