The basics of a training collar usage

The trainer's elementary knowledge of the dog training is the prerequisite for using the training

collar.
If you don´t have this knowledge, we recommend you to contact a training center, a cynology club,

or a school for dogs where you will learn the basic communication with your dog.
You can start using the collar for the 6 months old dog, which have undergone the basic training

and is familiar with basic obedience commands including „sit", „down", „stay" or at least „stop it",
„leave it".
Require these commands along with the audible beep tone, so your dog will create a connection

between them.
After a command that is successfully executed, you should always reward or encourage your dog, so

the dog will be happy to fulfill your commands and a desire to fulfill your commands will grow.
You can not consider the executed command as the absolute obviousness and punish disobedience

- your dog would soon lose an interest.
If you are not sure that your dog will obey you after recall, start training on a tracking rope.

Your dog will have to get used to the collar; let the dog wear the collar for a few days, but do not

use it so that your pet does not discover the connection with its attachment and effects.
Affirmative and efficient training requires some time: don't hurry!

Select a well-known environment your dog is used to.

Choose the right moment to press the button; exactly at the moment when your dog does

something what is not allowed.
In case of any problems and for further advice, please do not hesitate to contact a professional

trainer.
