High Tech Pet HUMANE CONTAIN HC-7000 User Manual page 5

How Pulsed Proportional Stimulus Works:
The unique shock stimulus used by your HC-7000 system is delivered in
short, intense pulses, not a continuous shock. The pulsed stimulus gives
your dog a chance to think and avoids sending the animal into panic.
As your dog first comes within the outermost boundary area, a slow
beeping tone is sounded and a short duration shock pulse is applied at a
slow pulse rate. This first pulse is a FULL VOLTAGE stimulus but, it is of
very SHORT DURATION. It will immediately get your dog's attention but,
it is so short that your dog will probably not perceive it as painful.
If, instead of retreating, your dog continues to travel closer to the boundary,
the shock pulse RATE continues to increase along with an increasing
rate of sound pulses, until they are delivered in such rapid succession as
to be unbearable to your pet, encouraging retreat from the boundary into
the "safe haven" of your yard. The use of progressively increasing shock
pulse rate is a very humane technique because it allows your pet to decide
for itself how much stimulus is required to initiate the retreat behavior.
(Note that some competing systems use a "tone only" warning zone
before applying shock. This sounds like a good idea, but we have found
it to be ineffective. Often the dog will stand in the warning zone waiting
for the tone to stop. The tone will drain the battery and stop when the
battery runs down, letting the animal know it is now safe to escape!) The
HC-7000 is not a zone type system. We apply a short shock stimulus
at the very first correction along with the sound stimulus. This will
discourage your dog from standing in the boundary field waiting for the
tone to stop. However, because we use pulsed stimulus, the initial shock
will not be traumatic to your pet. If your dog tries to move forward, pulse
rate is immediately increased to encourage retreat behavior.
Progressive Training Tones: The use of progressively increasing sound
pulses along with the shock pulses tends to psychologically intensify
the perceived stimulus, more quickly teaching your dog that the irritating
