User’s guide EXPERT 600 – indice A 9/12● 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 havebehavioural 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 thelowest 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 » stimulationBoth functions are extremely interesting and useful, since they can be adapted to any dog and any situation.▪ « continuous » stimulationShould 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 stimulationrather than of the intensity, so your dog has time to understand.▪ « flash » stimulationUse this function to correct your dog.A low stimulation will attract its attention; it will feel something unpleasant at the precise moment it is behavingbadly.● Cautions for use▪ The EXPERT receiver collar is totally waterproof.
