Types of Training Signals
Your BigLeash trainer allows you to adjust the
type
, the
duration
and the
level
of
the training signal.
•
The
“A” button
provides either an
audible
or
a
vibration
signal. The signal
continues (up to 8 seconds) while you press the “A” button.
•
The
“B” button
provides a
brief
1 second stimulation (regardless of how
long you hold the button down.) Press the “B” button repeatedly for a
series of brief stimulations.
•
The
“C” button
provides a
continuous
stimulation (up to 8 seconds.) This
allows you to control the duration of the stimulation when the situation calls
for it.
The type of training signal you select depends on the behavior you want to
reinforce and the way your dog responds. The goal is for your dog to learn
that he can avoid the training signal by responding appropriately.
•
In the early stages of training, most dogs learn quickly to respond to the first
or second brief stimulation (button ‘B’). Some dogs may need a few more
brief stimulations (or a higher training level) depending on the dog’s
personality and level of excitement or distraction.
•
In many situations, it is recommended that
a brief or continuous correction
be preceded by a short audible or vibration warning.
This helps your pet learn
to avoid the stimulation by responding to the audible or vibration signal.
•
For some behaviors - such as chasing or barking - a continuous stimulation
(button ‘C’) of several seconds may initially be needed.
