The Difference Between « Continuous » And « Flash » Stimulation; Cautions For Use; Maintenance; Troubleshooting - Dogtek Canicom 200 User Manual

Your dog will need to get used to the collar; for a few days let the dog wear the collar but do not use
▪
it.
Positive and effective training takes time. Do not rush:
▪
− Choose a familiar area, a place your dog is used to.
− Always start with beep and define the level of impulse from which your dog reacts by
starting with the level of the lowest intensity and increasing gradually .
− Choose the right moment to press the button: at the exact time your dog does something
wrong.
− Give your dog plenty of encouragement: it will learn fast and his desire to respond will only
increase.
Do not hesitate to contact a professional trainer for any further advice.

● The difference between « continuous » and « flash » stimulation
Both functions are extremely interesting and useful, since they can be adapted to any dog and any
situation.
« continuous » stimulation
This function should be typically used for training at a location that is familiar to the dog (at the
beginning). Because the stimulation is continuous, use the lowest intensity and take advantage of the
length of the stimulation rather than of the intensity, so your dog has time to understand.
« flash » stimulation
Use this function to correct your dog. The stimulation will attract his attention when he is behaving
incorrectly.
The low stimulation will attract his attention; he will feel something unpleasant at the precise moment he
behaves badly.

water tightness, we recommend the replacement of seal located in the receiver collar every year.

safe from water as soon as possible. If the remote control falls into the water, it could be damaged
permanently.

▪
training collar CANICOM 200.
Avoid placing the remote control close to objects sensitive to magnetic fields, which could be
▪
permanently damaged.
