Training method
We are starting to use the collar
The initial period of use can start when the young dog is at the age of 6 months after its
elementary training is finished . Do not put the receiving collar on a pet being in poor state
of health (heart problems, epilepsy, etc .) or to a dog that has problems with its behavior .
The dog will need to get used to wearing the collar: let him wear it for a few days without
applying to it .
Proceed gradually and slowly
It is necessary to draw attention of your dog so that it can create quickly a link between its
incorrect behavior and its correction, firstly by the sound signal: "sound warning zone" fol-
lowed by the "correcting zone" pulse . The marks can help it visualize the beginning of the
warning zone .
Encourage it by patting and stroking
After being admonished by a pulse, when the pet has already learned to obey and return,
it should be encouraged . The pet will understand it much more quickly and its efforts to
obey will be growing . When it is fully aware of the link between the pulse and its wrong
behavior, you can devote to your own work, but never forget to encourage it for its good
behavior in order to strengthen its ability to understand the "conception of obedience" .
Tips and information
For the best results
Adjustment and positioning of the collar
It is very important to adjust the collar around dog's neck properly . Its positioning permits
to detect the dog's breakaway from the permitted area and makes the electric correcting
pulses to be efficient . If you want to obtain the best results from your unit, you must ensure
a good contact between the collar and the dog's skin by careful adjustment of the belt;
when the belt is too loose, it will not work properly; when it will be too tight, the dog may
have problems with breathing or it will be uncomfortable for it .
If it is necessary, replace the long electrodes with short ones (refer to the section about the
replacement of electrodes) .
Battery check
Make sure that the battery is in order; its state may influence the correct operation of the
receiving collar . When the temperatures are below zero, the battery is less efficient than at
room temperature .
Checking the attachment of the electrodes
Make sure before every mounting that the electrodes are properly attached (by hand) .
