- 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.
- 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.
Cautions for use
- Before using CANICOM 200 FIRST, we advise you to have your dog checked by your vet to ensure it 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 showerproof only: it is only designed to remain a short time in the rain. Put it
safe from water as soon as possible. If the remote control falls into the water, it could be damaged in
an irreversible way.
- The dog should not wear any medal, metallic collar, or any other kind of collar together with the training
collar CANICOM 200 FIRST.
