Starting out with the training collar
You can start using the collar with 6-month-old puppies that have already received some basic training:
“stay”, “sit” or at least “no”.
Do not use the collar with dogs that are not in good physical shape (i.e. cardiac problems, epilepsy) or have
behavioural problems.
Your dog will need to get used to the collar, for a few days let the dog wear the collar but do not use it.
Positive and effective training takes time.
Do not rush
:
Choose a familiar area, a place your dog is used to.
Define the level of stimulation from which your dog reacts by starting with the level of
the lowest intensity and increasing gradually.
Choose the right moment to press the button: at the exact time your dog does something wrong.
Give your dog plenty of encouragement: it will learn faster and its desire to respond will only
increase.
Do not hesitate to contact a professional trainer for any further advice.

The difference between “continuous” and “flash” stimulation
Both functions are extremely interesting and useful, since they can be adapted to any dog and any situation.
▪
“continuous” stimulation
Should be typically used for training at a location that is familiar to the dog (at the beginning).
Because the stimulation is continuous, use the lowest intensity and take advantage of the length of the stimulation
rather than of the intensity, so your dog has time to understand.
▪
“flash” stimulation
Use this function to correct your dog.
A low stimulation will attract its attention; it will feel something unpleasant at the precise moment it is behaving
badly.

Cautions for use
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Before using the collar, we strongly advise you to have your dog checked by a vet to ensure he is fit to wear
a collar.
The CANICOM receiver collar is totally waterproof
. Your dog can swim in water. In order to maintain
water tightness, we recommend the replacement of the seal located in the receiver collar every year.
The remote control is shower proof only
: it is only designed to remain a short time in the rain. Put it in
a dry place as soon as possible. If the remote control falls into the water, it could be damaged in an
irreversible way.
Your dog should not wear a tag, metallic collar, or any other kind of collar together with the training collar
CANICOM.
Avoid placing the remote control close to objects sensitive to magnetic fields which could be irreversibly
damaged.
Do not place or keep the unit in places exposed to high temperatures.
Remove the battery
from the receiver collar and the remote control
if you are not using the appliance
for 3 months or more. The collar will memorize the configuration chosen (coding).
It is necessary to replace the batteries every two years, even if the unit has not been used for long periods.
Never leave a discharged battery in the unit: leakage could damage your CANICOM 500 PRO.
Keep your CANICOM 500 PRO unit out of reach of children. It is not a toy for you or your children.
