AbbiDot T30 - Pet Care Product Manual

INTRODUCTION

Here at Abbi, we are happy if you and your pet are happy. We know that nurturing a lasting bond with a pet takes patience, commitment and just a little bit of help. This is why we dedicate all of our time and creative resources to making pet care accessories that are smart and simple.

Our products are not meant to replace the training process — they are here to aid it. They should never be used as punishment, overused or treated as an one-fit-all solution. They are the most effective at the very start of the training process and when showing your pet the danger of certain behaviors: like crossing the road or picking up food on the street.

We strongly recommend focusing on reward training and making positive reinforcement the base of your training routine. Your pet's safety and well-being should always stay a priority throughout this experience.

We know that any training process is a two-way street. We learn just as much from our pets as they do from us. Help us make our products better by sharing your training success stories with us.

Yours
AbbiDot Team

Make sure to turn the collar off when it's not in use to save battery.

We strongly suggest TESTING the collar before putting it on your pet.

Before starting the training, place the collar on yourself and test it to see how it feels. We recommend starting with the lowest setting and then moving on to higher settings up to your personal comfort level.

DOG TRAINING
How to Select Contact Points and Contact Spring Sheet?
For the best results, it's important to select suitable contact points based on the thickness of your dog's coat.
You can use the contact points separately or together with the spring sheet.

COLLAR FITTING
When placing the collar on your dog, make sure it fits properly and the contact points are pressed firmly against the dog's skin. If the collar is fitted too loosely, it may move during the training process and the contact points may hurt the dog's skin.
The collar should also not be fitted too tightly: you should be able to place a finger between the dog's neck and the training collar. If placed too tightly, the collar may cause breathing difficulties for your dog.

Do not shave your pet's neck as this may increase the risk of skin irritation. Your dog shouldn't wear the collar for more than 12 hours per day.

HOW TO FIND THE BEST STIMULATION LEVEL FOR YOUR PET?

always start with the vibration mode first and use the static Stimulation mode as the last resort.

Depending on the model of your training collar, you may be able to access anywhere from one to 36 different stimulation levels. This can help you find the level that is best for your dog.
Once you've placed the collar on your pet, it's time to find the most suitable stimulation level.
At this stage of the process, you will need to watch your pet carefully for the slightest changes in behavior like looking around in curiosity, scratching at the collar or flicking ears. All these behaviors are indicators that you have found a suitable stimulation level. This is also known as Recognition Level.

Follow the steps below:

DOG TRAINING GUIDE

BASIC OBEDIENCE TRAINING WITH THE ABBIDOT E-COLLAR
Dog Training Collar Introduction
Whether you are training a companion dog, a hunting dog or a dog athlete, we generally want to attain the same results: we want our pets to be happy and safe. We also want them to respond to commands timely even when at a distance and in the presence of distractions.
The ABBIDOT Dog Training Collar is a powerful training tool that can help you attain these results.
The ABBIDOT electronic training collar (e-collar) is a safe, reliable and effective training tool. With it, you can make timely corrections to your dog's behavior — even at a distance.
Thanks to the collar's adjustable levels, you get to match the intensity of stimulation to your dog's temperament and the distraction level of the moment for maximum training efficiency.
With that, correcting unwanted behaviors is only a fraction of you can do with your new e-collar.
In fact, the ABBIDOT e-collar can be a powerful tool for encouraging desired behavior. But first, you need to identify the right e-collar settings for your dog: the one that is high enough to be noticed but not so high as to be disruptive.
The next step would be for your dog to control the "behavior" of the collar with their actions.
You may soon find that these methods of e-collar training are actually gentler than many traditional leash-training methods. E-collar training can improve communication with your pet by providing instant feedback to your dog during training. This reduces confusion, fosters a positive training attitude and accelerates learning, rapidly producing off-leash reliability.
Even if your dog already knows the basic obedience commands, follow the procedures given. Your dog must learn how to respond to the e-collar for each command before you can use your ABBIDOT collar for training at a distance.

TEACHING BASIC OBEDIENCE

The "Sit" Command

Note: if your pet breaks the "Sit" command, repeat steps 3 through 6. Keep your pet close to you while teaching the "Sit" command.

The "Come" Command

The "Stay" Command

ELIMINATING UNWANTED BEHAVIOR

Jumping Up

Pets typically jump up to get attention. If you do not want your pet to jump on you, then friends or members of the family should not encourage this behavior as well. This means that every time your pet jumps on someone, they should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable behavior, for which they can receive praise.

Note: it is best if your pet first understands the "Sit" command.

Digging

It is important to first understand why your pet is digging. Many dogs like terriers, were bred to flush out prey and digging is very natural to them. Other dogs may be digging to find a cool spot to lay down or simply out of boredom.
Your pet may no longer have the desire to dig if they are is provided with the following:

• A cool, shaded area in which to lay down, and plenty of water.
• An alternate activity, such as a favorite toy.
• Plenty of play, exercise, and attention.
• A yard free from rodents or prey that your dog may be trying to find.

Chasing

Chasing is an instinctive behavior stimulated by moving objects. Some dogs have a particularly strong desire to chase that can put them in harm's way and leave you helpless. Never allow your dog off the leash or out of a contained area until they have learned the "Come" command, regardless of the distraction. Be consistent and correct your dog every time they chase something.

It is vitally important that you and your dog remain safe while learning during on-leash training. Your dog should be on a strong leash, long enough for him to attempt to chase an object, but short enough for him not to reach a road or other unsafe area. You must also be physically strong to restrain your dog when they try to chase.

Trash Raiding

The easiest way to prevent trash raiding is to remove garbage and tempting food from your pet's environment. You can use the e-collar to teach your pet to stay away from these items; however, you must be prepared to correct your pet every time they approach them.

General Tips

• The ABBIDOT Dog Training Collar is not designed to be worn constantly.
  We strongly advise you to reserve collar usage to active training sessions.
  When you leave your dog unattended, make sure to take the collar off.
• Most dogs will feel uncomfortable when wearing the collar for the first time. Don't use any commands until your dog has got used to the collar which will normally take several days.
• Eliminate one unwanted action or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too quickly with the training, your dog may become confused.
• Be consistent with your training. Give your dog the same stimulation for each unwanted action. We suggest you to use Vibration Stimulation before starting the Static Shock Stimulation. If you follow this training method, your dog will learn that Static Shock Stimulation might come after Vibration. This way, the Vibration Stimulation alone can effectively to curb unwanted behavior of your dog.
• Do not over-correct. Use as little stimulation as possible to train your dog.
• Following a predefined scenario of all your training sessions can dramatically improve your chances of success.
• Should your dog react to the training by hiding or acting fearfully, try to redirect their attention to a simple command such as "Speak" or "Sit" to calm them down. Use treats to help your dog understand what commands have been done correctly.
