TIP: If your dog has excessively long, thick fur, you can order extended contact points with a length
of 21 mm.
7.6 Putting on the training collar (Figure 6 on page 3)
We recommend putting the collar on when the dog is standing. Tighten the strap (collar) on which the receiver
is placed so that the contact points of the receiver are in good contact with the dog's skin. If you can insert
2 fingers between the collar and the dog's neck and the contact points touch the skin, the collar is fitted
correctly. For dogs with longer or thicker fur, you can lightly trim the fur where the contact points touch the skin.
TIP: If your dog has dry skin, we recommend applying petroleum jelly or moisturizing oil to the contact
points. This will improve the transmission of stimulation impulses.
NOTICE: If the collar is too loose around the dog's neck, friction at the contact points may cause skin
irritation. At the same time, the reliability of the contact points touching the dog's skin is reduced,
as is the functionality of the training collar. Conversely, a collar that is too tight may cause pressure marks
at the contact points. The collar should not remain in the same place for several hours. If the dog wears
the collar for a long period of time, we recommend regularly changing the position of the receiver
on the neck to prevent irritation.
If skin irritation occurs, do not use the training collar until all signs of irritation have disappeared.
8. BASICS OF USING THE TRAINING COLLAR
An important prerequisite for using a training collar is the trainer's basic knowledge of dog training.
If you do not have this knowledge, we recommend that you contact a training center, kennel club, or dog
school to learn basic communication with your dog.
You can start using the collar on a six-month-old puppy that has already completed basic training in "SIT,"
"LIE DOWN," "STAY," or at least "NO," "YOU MUST NOT"...
Require these commands together with an audible signal from the training collar so that your dog can
make the connection between them.
A reward or at least praise should always follow a completed command so that your dog enjoys following
your commands and develops a desire to please you.
You must not take the completed command for granted and punish disobedience – the dog would soon
lose interest in you.
If you are not sure that your dog will obey when called, start training on a tracking leash, for example.
Your dog will have to get used to the collar; let your dog wear the collar for a few days, but do not use it so
that it does not immediately see the connection between wearing it and the effects.
Positive and effective training takes time – don't rush it!
Choose a familiar environment, a place your dog is used to.
Choose the right moment to press the button – exactly when your dog is doing something forbidden.
If you have any problems or need further advice, do not hesitate to contact a professional trainer.
9. TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONS
9.1 Audible signal
The receiver on the dog's collar will start to emit an acoustic (sound) signal. This command can precede
a stimulation impulse and is a very effective warning. You can use the acoustic signal instead of the command
"come" or "heel," in which case it replaces the whistle, whose volume is always perceived by the dog in the same
way. It is very important to always use the acoustic signal in the same way so as not to confuse the dog. The green
indicator light on the receiver will illuminate while the acoustic signal is being emitted.
9.2 Stimulation impulse
This feature allows you to activate alerts in the receiver in the form of safe stimulation pulses transmitted
through two contact points located on the receiver.
The purpose of the stimulation pulses is not to hurt the dog. The pulse is very unpleasant for the dog,
