Even at low levels, dogs may yelp when stimulation is introduced
because it surprises them or it startles them and not because it is
hurting them. Do not make the mistake of rushing up and petting or
hugging the dog because you think that you hurt them. If you do
this the dog will learn that every time they feel the tingle they just
have to yelp and the tingle will stop and you will hug and pet them.
At low levels the dog feels a tickle. This tickle is the negative
response that the dog will associate with the problem barking. Low
level stimulation is a more effective way to train a dog. Low level
stimulation is less painful than swatting with a newspaper, spanking
with your hand or yelling at your dog. When done properly, low
level stimulation training is more humane, effective and mentally, a
better way to train your dog. For more information on how to train
with electronic No-Bark collars consult a professional trainer or buy
a “how to train” video or book on this subject from your local pet or
sporting goods retailer.
Basic Information on Use
IMPORTANT
When screwing in the electrodes and sensors, tighten by hand only.
Hand tightening will allow the electrodes to vibrate for maximum
stimulation.
Never use a wrench.
Choosing the Correct Electrodes
The proper set of electrodes you should use is determined by which
set is long enough to make good contact with the dog’s skin. Good
contact is essential for the proper operation of the unit. Longer
haired dog’s will usually require the 1/2” contacts, and shorter
haired dogs the 3/8”.
