trim the hair in the area of the contact points or to switch to the longer contact points to
ensure a consistent contact.
WARNING: If the collar is too loose, the receiver is likely to move and the repeating
friction can irritate the skin of your dog. Furthermore, in this case is not ensured a
reliable contact of contact points with the skin and a proper function of the training
collar. We do not recommend to leave the collar positioned at the same place for
more than several hours, because it could irritate the skin. If it is necessary to wear the
collar for long periods, change regularly the position on the neck of your dog. A collar
with a receiver that is overly tight, can cause pressure sores on the skin in the contact
area of the contact points. If this happens, do not use the training collar until all traces
of irritation are gone.

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 must 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,
