Starting Out With The Training Collar; The Difference Between « Continuous » And « Flash » Stimulation; Cautions For Use - Num'axes Canicom 800 Guide D'utilisation

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.
• 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
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. A low stimulation will attract its attention; it will feel something
unpleasant at the precise moment it is behaving badly.

Cautions for use


- Before using CANICOM, we advise you to have your dog checked by your vet to ensure it is fit to wear
a collar.
- The CANICOM receiver collar is totally waterproof. Your dog can swim in water. In order to maintain
water tightness, we recommend the replacement of the seal located in the receiver collar every
year.
- The remote control is showerproof only: it is only designed to remain a short time in the rain. Put it
in a dry place as soon as possible. If the remote control falls into the water, it could be damaged in an
irreversible way.
- The dog should not wear a medal, metallic collar, or any other kind of collar together with the
CANICOM training collar.
- Avoid placing the remote control close to objects sensitive to magnetic fields which could be
irreversibly damaged.
- Do not place or keep the unit in places exposed to high temperatures.
