    Getting started with your 200C Your dog must know some very basic obedience commands before beginning training with the 200C. A dog learns by first being shown a command, followed by lots of repetition over an extended period. As the dog becomes proficient at these commands, the trainer can introduce distractions and different locations to strengthen them.
  • Page 20 By using only enough stimulation to get your point across, you will have a more controllable environment and a dog that is under less stress. Animals (and humans) perform better in a less stressful environment. For more training information, please visit our website at www.dogtra.com.

    Storage maintenance The 200C should be fully charged before storing for extended periods. While in storage, the unit should be given a full charge once a month, and before the first use. Store the units in room temperature.
