2. Fitting the Receiver Collar

Proper fit of the receiver collar is crucial for effective and humane operation. The contact points must have direct contact with your dog's skin.

  • Select the appropriate contact points (long for dogs with thick fur, short for dogs with shorter fur).
  • Center the receiver under your dog's neck, with the contact points touching the skin.
  • Adjust the strap so it is snug, but not overly tight. You should be able to fit one finger comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck.

Important: Do not leave the collar on your dog for more than 12 consecutive hours. Prolonged wear can lead to skin irritation.

  • Place the test light tool over the contact points on the receiver collar.
  • Set the intensity dial on the remote to level 1.

Парады па трэніроўках

Effective training with the YardTrainer 100S requires consistency and patience. Always introduce new commands and corrections in a positive and controlled environment.

  • Start with Basic Obedience: Ensure your dog understands basic commands like 'sit', 'stay', and 'come' before introducing the remote trainer.
  • Introduce the Collar Positively: Allow your dog to wear the collar for short periods without stimulation to associate it with positive experiences.
  • Find the Right Level: Begin with the lowest static stimulation level and increase gradually until your dog shows a slight reaction (e.g., ear twitch, head turn). This is your dog's recognition level.
  • Timing is Key: Deliver stimulation immediately at the moment of the unwanted behavior or when giving a command.
  • Be Consistent: Use the same commands and corrections every time.
  • Станоўчае падмацаванне: Always praise and reward your dog for correct responses.
