Fitting The Collar; Starting Out With The Training Collar - Num'axes CANICOM 200 First Guide D'utilisation

The performances of your CANICOM 200 FIRST will be optimal if you respect the following
recommendations:
- To obtain a good radio range, do not cover the part located above the buttons when you hold the 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 a 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.
The strap is properly adjusted when you can insert two fingers between the strap and your dog's neck.
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.

Starting out with the training collar

- 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: he will learn faster and his desire to respond will
only increase.
