• Check the batteries (remote control and receiver collar) before using the unit and replace them as soon as
the level of load is weak.
• The performances of the batteries decrease slightly under temperatures lower than 0°C. If possible, keep
the remote control warm (e.g. inside a pocket) before using it.
● Fitting the collar
The strap must be adjusted so that the contact points are in contact with the skin of the dog.
Collar adjustment is very important:
• If the strap is too loose, the collar is likely to move and repeated friction can irritate the skin of your dog.
Furthermore, it will not function correctly.
• If the collar is too tight, the dog will have breathing difficulties.
The strap is properly adjusted when you can insert two fingers between the strap and your dog's neck.
Do not leave the collar positioned at the same place for long periods (i.e. over 3 hours) because this can cause
irritations. If your dog must wear the collar for long periods, change regularly the position on the neck of your dog.
Starting out with the training collar
●
• You can start using the collar with 6-month-old puppies that have already received some basic training:
"stay", "sit" or at least "no".
• Do not use the collar with dogs that are not in good physical shape (i.e. cardiac problems, epilepsy) or have
behavioural problems.
• 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.
- Define the level of stimulation 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 faster and its desire to respond will only increase.
● Cautions for use
