Sound signal
It is only up to you how you will use it, which depends on the method you wish to train your dog. With
the sound signal you can:
Send a sound warning to your dog when it is doing something inappropriate.
Catch the attention of your dog…
Teach it that this signal means ”To me“, ”Come“ commands, wherever your dog is (the sound signal
replaces your dog-whistle).
The sound signal forgoing the pulse is very efficient; Your dog will soon create a link between its
incorrect behaviour, the sound warning, and its unpleasant feeling.
It is very important to always use the sound signal in the same way so as to prevent your dog
from being confused.

If your dog does not obey your command followed by the sound pulse, you can send it a stimulation
impulse (at a suitable level) to distract it from its activity and draw its attention to you. The purpose of
this stimulation impulse is not to hurt your dog, but this is very annoying for it and so the dog will
soon create a link between your command, sound signal, and its unpleasant feeling. A minimum of
these stimulation pulse will be necessary after some time as your dog connects them very well with
disobedience of your command and then it will do for you to send a command and accompany it with
a sound signal if necessary.
Long pulse
(hold the button pressed down for more than 3 seconds)
It is the first step of the training.
It should be used for training at the place your dog knows well (at the beginning).
As this pulse is a longer one, use a lower intensity and use the impulse length rather than intensity
so that your dog can have some time to understand it.
