Sound signal
It is only up to you how you will use it, which depends on the method you wish to train your
dog. With the sound signal you can:
Send a sound warning to your dog when it is doing something inappropriate.
Catch the attention of your dog...
Teach it that this signal means the command "To me", "Stay", wherever the dog is
(the sound signal replaces your dog-whistle).
The sound signal forgoing the pulse is very effi cient; Your dog will soon create a link between
its incorrect behaviour, the sound warning, and its unpleasant feeling.
It is very important to always use the sound signal in the same way to avoid your dog of
being confused.
Button – Short pulse or Continuous pulse
If your dog will not obey your command followed by the sound pulse, you can send it
a correction pulse (at a suitable level) to distract it form its activity and draw attention to you.
The principle of this correction pulse is not to hurt your dog, this is very annoying for it and so
the dog will soon create a link between your command, sound signal, and its unpleasant
feeling. A minimum of these correction pulses will be necessary after some time as your dog
connects them very well with disobedience of your command and then it will be enough to
send a command and accompany it with a sound signal if necessary.
Continuous pulse "B"
It is the fi rst step of the training
It should be used for training at the place which your dog knows well (at the beginning).
As this pulse is longer, use a lower intensity and use the pulse length rather than intensity
so that your dog can have some time to make out.
Short pulse "A"
Use this function to correct the behaviour of your dog.
Short pulses are usually used at a later stage of the training after the dog has already been
trained with long pulses.
Here, higher pulses are used compared to training with permanent pulses.
