We are starting with the training collar
The trainer’s elementary knowledge in training dogs is the prerequisite for using the training
collar.
If you do not have this knowledge, we recommend you to turn to a training centre, a cynology club,
or a school for dogs where you will learn the basic communication with your dog.
You can start using the collar for a 6-month-old puppy who has undergone the basic training ”
SIT
“,
”
DOWN
“, “
STAY
“, or at least ”
FIE
“, “
YOU MUSTN’T
“…
Demand these commands along with the sound signal from the collar so that your dog can create
a link between them.
After a command is successfully executed, you should always reward or encourage your dog so that
it can execute your commands with delight and its desire to make you happy could grow.
You must not consider the executed command as the absolute obviousness and punish only d i s -
obedience – your dog would soon fall away from you.
If you are not sure that your dog will obey you after recalling, start training, e.g. using a tracing dog-
-lead.
Your dog will have to get used to the collar
; let the dog wear the collar for a few days, but do not
use it so that your pet does not discover the connection with its attachment and effects.
Positive and efficient training requires some time:
do not hurry!
Select a well-known environment your dog is used to.
Select the right moment for pressing the button
; exactly at the moment when your dog is doing
something forbidden.
Do not hesitate to contact a professional trainer for more advice and in the event of any problems.
We do not recommend you to use the collar for the dogs not being in good physical health state
(e.g. heart problems, epilepsy, etc.) or having behaviour disorders.
