Training Tips - Dog trace d-control 640 Manual

The power of batteries slightly falls down at temperatures below 0 °C. If it is possible, keep your
remote controller warm (e.g. in your pocket) and take it out only for use.
We do not recommend you to leave your dog wearing the collar for several hours in the same place as it
might cause skin irritation. If it is necessary for your dog to wear the collar for a long time, change its
position on your dog's neck.
TIP: By placing the receiver on your dog's neck laterally, you will extend the range of transmission.

Training tips

The trainer's elementary knowledge in training dogs is the prerequisite for using the training collar.
If you do not have this knowledge, we recommend you to turn to a training centre, 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 a 6-month-old puppy who has undergone the basic training "sit",
"down", "stay", or at least "fie", "you mustn't"...
Demand these commands along with the sound signal from the collar so that your dog can create a
link between them.
After a command is successfully executed, you should always reward or encourage your dog so that it
can execute your commands with delight and its desire to make you happy could grow.
You must not consider the executed command as the absolute obviousness and punish only
disobedience - your dog would soon fall away from you.
If you are not sure that your dog will obey you after recalling, start training, e.g. using a tracing dog-
lead.
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: do not hurry!
Select a well-known environment your dog is used to.
Select the right moment for pressing the button; exactly at the moment when your dog is doing
something forbidden.
