10.2 Use of training collar in winter period
When using a training collar in winter, it is important to keep in mind:
Low humidity - causes lower skin conductivity. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure better
conductivity between the contact points of the receiver and the dog's skin. This can be
achieved by lubricating the dog's skin where the contact points touch, for example with
medical Vaseline, ointment or other skin moisturizer.
Thicker dog hair - when putting on the training collar, it is necessary to tighten the collar so
as to ensure a permanent contact of the contact points with the dog's skin. If the coat is
thick, it is advisable to cut the coat where the contact points touch the skin, or choose a
longer type of contact points.
Change in battery properties - when temperatures drop below 0 °C, the chemical reaction in
the battery slows down. To ensure that the performance of the repetitive pulses (especially
at higher levels) is maintained, we recommend inserting a new battery into the receiver for
the winter period. During use, continuously monitor the dog's reactions and, if necessary,
increase the level of the stimulation pulse by 1 or 2 degrees.
11. COUNSELLOR FOR PROBLEMS
1. Read this manual again to check if the problem is caused by weak batteries or improper
use.
2. Check that the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity.
3. If the transmitter does not communicate with the receiver, try pairing the devices again - see
chapter: 7.4 Pairing the transmitter with the receiver.
4. Your dog seemed unresponsive to stimulus:
Check again that the battery in the receiver is not low.
Test the functionality of the receiver using a test glove box (see Section 5 of this chapter).
Check that you have chosen the correct length of the contact points (chapter 7.6 Choosing
the contact points) and that you have ensured contact with the dog's skin by tightening the
collar (chapter 7.7 Putting on the training collar).
If the dog has dry skin, moisten it (Chapter 7.7).
5. Checking the correct function of the stimulation pulse:
The correct function of the short/long stimulation pulse command can be tested using the
test glove.
