Getting the best results
The training instructions you send to your dog are sent from the remote control to the receiver collar by
radio waves. These radio waves are sensitive and the range reaches approximately 200 meters
(depending on geography and environment).
The performances of your CANICOM 200 will be optimal if you respect the following
recommendations:
- To obtain a good radio range, do not cover the part located above LCD screen when you hold your remote
control in your hand.
- The position of the receiver collar around the neck of the dog should be in the following way: the
"On/Off" indicator is visible and is not in contact with the breast of the dog.
- Check the batteries (remote control and receiver collar) before using the unit and replace them as soon
as the level of load is weak.
- The performances of the batteries decrease slightly under temperatures lower than 0°C. If possible
keep the remote control warm (e.g. Inside the pocket) before using it.
Fitting the collar
The strap must be adjusted so that the contact points are in contact with the skin of the dog.
- If the strap is too loose, the collar is likely to move and repeated friction can irritate the skin of
your dog. Furthermore, it will not function correctly.
- If the collar is too tight, the dog will have breathing difficulties.
Do not leave the collar positioned at the same place for long periods (i.e. over 3 hours) because this can
cause irritations. If your dog must carry the collar for long periods, change regularly the position around
the neck of your dog.
Never leave the collar more than 8 hours per day on your dog. Check your dog's neck regularly. If
irritations appear, remove the collar until all signs of skin irritation have disappeared.
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.
