Getting The Best Results; Starting Out With The Pet Fencing System; Cautions For Use - Num'axes Canifugue 2015 Guide D'utilisation

To achieve best results from your system, the strap must be adjusted so that the contact points are in contact with the skin
of the dog.
− If the strap is too loose, the collar is likely to move and repeated friction can irritate the skin of your dog. Furthermore, the
collar 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.
If necessary, replace the short contact points with the long ones supplied with the kit (ref § Changing the contact points).

Getting the best results

The performances of your pet fencing system will be optimal if you follow these recommendations before each use:
− Make sure the collar battery is sufficiently charged: its condition affects the proper functioning of the collar. At temperatures
below 0°C, the battery is less effective than at room temperature.
− Make sure both contact points are properly tightened on the collar.
− Check the good fit and position of the collar on the neck of your dog.

Starting out with the pet fencing system

− Your dog will need to get used to the collar, for a few days let the dog wear the collar but do not turn it On.
− Closely watch your pet during the first days' use.
− Do not rush
So that your dog quickly makes the connection between the stimulation and his bad behaviour, his attention must be
attracted by first warning him with the beep sounds.
The flags enable your dog to visualize the area where he can move freely and the boundary he must not cross.
− Give your dog plenty of encouragement
Let your dog make is training alone to start with. After the stimulation, as soon as he learns to obey and turn back, he should
be patted; he will understand more quickly and his desire to obey will increase.
− Do not leave your dog unattended with the collar on until he is used to wearing it and you are satisfied that it is working
correctly. You should ensure that the stimulation level is adjusted correctly for your dog.
− When your dog has fully understood the connection between the stimulation and is bad behaviour, you can get on with your
own jobs, but continue to praise him at other times to reinforce his grasps of the concept of obedience.
