Getting the best results

The training commands are transmitted to the receiver by radio waves. The range of the d-control 200
mini is approximately 200 metres depending on the geographic conditions. The transmitter range may
vary depending on the way you use your transmitter, hold the transmitter away from your body and
avoid touching the front part of the transmitter where the antenna is located.
FITTING THE COLLAR
The receiver needs to be very snug around the dog's neck to work properly. A loose fit can allow the
receiver to move around on the dog's neck. The collar must be just tight enough to allow the contact
points to make good contact on your dog's skin. You may need to trim the hair in the area of the
contact points or switch to the longer contact points to ensure consistent contact. This can directly
affect the performance of the collar unit and whether or not the dog will receive the stimulation
impulses. A loose collar can also result in skin irritations. The collar should be tight enough to fit two
fingers between the collar and your dog's neck, but not so tight that it restricts your dog's breathing.
TIP By placing the receiver on your dog's neck laterally, you will extend the range of transmission.
