5. Watch the test light as you press the Constant button
on the transmitter. It should light up as long as the button
is pressed. However, as a safety feature, the receiver will
automatically stop the stimulation if the Constant button
is pressed for 12 seconds or longer.
6. Turn the Rheostat Dial on the transmitter clockwise and
then counterclockwise. The test light should glow
brighter with higher levels of stimulation and dimmer
with lower levels.
Note: The test light may not be visible if the intensity level
is set below level ten.
GENERAL TRAINING TIPS
Your dog must know some basic obedience commands
before beginning training with the ARC HANDSFREE. A dog
learns by first being shown a command, followed by lots of
repetition over an extended period. As the dog becomes
proficient at these commands, the trainer can introduce
distractions and different locations to strengthen them.
Obedience Training on the Leash
Your dog must fully understand the obedience commands
(sit, stay, here, heel, and kennel) before using the e-collar
for reinforcement of these commands. A leash attached
to a standard collar is used to "teach" the dog the basic
obedience commands (here, heel, sit, and stay). A tug
on the leash/collar is used to reinforce the command.
When the dog complies with the command, use positive
reinforcement/praise. Once the dog understands these
commands, the e-collar can be used to reinforce them.
Beginning E-Collar Training
When you feel your dog understands the obedience
commands on the leash we can now start with the e-collar
training. With the dog on the leash and wearing the e-collar,
continue with your obedience drills. Apply light stimulation
(Nick or Constant) when a command is given; the
stimulation can be removed as the dog complies. Through
repetition, the dog learns to perform the command.
The final step is the avoidance phase in which the dog learns
that he can avoid the stimulation altogether by performing
your commands. When these training procedures are
complete, the e-collar is used as a reminder when the dog
does not comply with your commands at home or in the
