Using training collar in winter
When using d-control in winter, please keep in mind:
Low humidity – causes less skin conductivity. It is necessary to provide better conductivity
between the contact points of the receiver and the dog's skin. This can be achieved by
lubricating the dog's skin in the area of contact with vaseline, baby oil, hand lotion, etc.
Thicker fur dog – it is necessary to tighten the collar so that the permanent contact with the
dog's skin is ensured. If the fur is too thick, it is recommended to cut the hair or choose a
longer type of contact points.
Battery properties change – temperatures below 0 °C slow down chemical reactions in
batteries. To ensure a performance of repetitive stimulation impulses (especially of higher
levels), it is recommended to insert a new battery into the receiver for the winter time. During
the training, observe continuously dog's reactions and increase the stimulation level as
needed.
Troubleshooting
1. Read again this user guide and make sure the problem is not caused by a flat battery or
incorrect use.
2. Make sure the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity.
3. If the transmitter does not communicate with the receiver, try to program communication
– see chapter: Programming (pairing) of the transmitter and the receiver.
4. If it seems, that the dog does not respond to the stimulation impulse:
Check again the battery in the transmitter and in the receiver.
Test the receiver's functions with a test discharge lamp (see 5th paragraph of this chapter).
Check whether you have choosen correct length of the contact points (see chapter: Choosing
the contact points) and ensure contact points are well tightened and in contact with your
dog's skin (see chapter: Fitting the collar).
If the dog has dry skin, moisten the skin.
5. Check the correct function of the stimulation impulse.
By using test discharge lamp you can easily check correct function of the stimulation impulse:
Make sure that the receiver is turned OFF.
