When first starting to use the remote trainer you should closely monitor
your dog’s reaction to the correction. You should be inside a protected area.
The protected area should not be a cage, crate or kennel. If outside, your dog
should be in a safe protected area so that it cannot run away when it receives
a correction from the remote trainer.
Do not let your dog see the handheld remote when you are pushing the
warning button or the correction button. You do not want your dog to
associate the correction with you.
Each dog can have a different reaction to the correction it receives from the
remote trainer. Reactions can vary from a dip of the head, to shaking the
head, whining, excessive barking, confusion or running away. In the event
of an extreme reaction or aggression, wait until your dog is calm before
approaching your dog.
The remote trainer should be used when you want to deter unwanted behavior.
Do not leave the remote trainer collar on your dog when you are not present.
Consistently using the remote trainer at the right time will give you the best
results. The more disciplined you are when using the remote trainer the better
your dog will understand that unwanted behaviors are not acceptable.
It is important for the training process to be interactive. Once your dog has
received a correction and stopped the unwanted behavior you should reward
your dog with a treat or praise.
