GENERAL TRAINING TIPS

Getting started with your training collar Zolux: Your dog must know some very basic
obedience commands before beginning training with the training collar Zolux. A dog learns by
first being shown a command, followed by lots of repetition over an extended period. As the
dog becomes proficient at these commands, the trainer can introduce distractions and different
locations to strengthen them. Throw in the correct amount of positive and negative
reinforcement and you should end up with a well-mannered dog.
Obedience training on the leash: Your dog must fully understand the obedience commands
(sit, stay, here, heel and kennel) before using the training collar Zolux for reinforcement of these
commands. A leash attached to a standard collar is used to «teach» the dog the basic obedience
commands (here, heel, sit, and stay). A tug on the leash/collar is used to reinforce the command.
When the dog complies with the command, use positive reinforcement/praise. Once the dog
understands these commands, the training collar can be used to reinforce them.
Training with the Clicker
1. Why a clicker?
Since its introduction to dog training in the early 90s, the clicker has become a go-to tool
among pro trainers and pet owners alike. Its utility as a training aid has been proven across a
wide range of disciplines, including formal obedience and behavior modification.
2. Positive reinforcement and marker training: Positive reinforcement strengthens correct
behaviors by rewarding them. Rewarding your dog for a job well done is an important part of
every sound training method, and as with effective punishment, good timing is critical.
However, timing a reward with precision can be challenging, especially when delivering a toy or
treat from your pocket. The clicker, which makes a noise that is perfectly consistent and distinct,
eliminates this problem by marking the exact moment your dog does something correctly.
Clicking right as the behavior is occurring tells your dog that what he is doing in that moment
has earned him a reward. You may then deliver the reward shortly afterward (a two second
interval is best), even if the dog has moved on to some other behavior.
3. Getting started with your clicker: To teach your dog what the click means, practice clicking
and then treating. Repeat until your dog clearly recognizes the sound and responds with a look
of anticipation.
