Sound signal
It is only up to you how you use it. It depends on the method you wish to train your dog with.
With the sound signal you can:
Send a sound warning to your dog when it is doing something inappropriate.
Catch the attention of your dog.
Teach it that this signal means the command "Come", "Stay", wherever the dog is (the sound
signal replaces your dog whistle).
The sound signal forgoing the pulse is very effi cient; your dog will soon create a link between its
incorrect behaviour, the sound warning, and its unpleasant feeling.
It is very important to always use the sound signal in the same way to avoid your dog of being
confused.
Button – vibration
Very interesting function for attracting your dog's attention. The vibration function is used as:
Discreet command "come" which cannot be heard in the surroundings
Distraction from an undesired activity using a surprise element
Clear signal – cannot be mistaken, unlike a sound signal (similar to phone sounds etc)
Communication with deaf dogs which is almost impossible by other means
Praising a dog (instead of stroking) followed by a reward (toy or titbit)
To improve communication effi ciency, you can teach your dog diff erent meanings of the
5 vibration modes ("don't do that", "come" etc)
You can also use it instead of a "clicker" – your dog comes for a reward after you press
the vibration button
