100 m Little Dog Remote Trainer

FAQs

• Is the stimulation safe and humane?

  While the static stimulation is unpleasant, it is harmless to your pet. Electronic training devices require interaction and training from the owner to achieve the desired results.

• My remote trainer has reduced range.

  Typical range is 65-75% of the maximum range due to terrain, weather, buildings, cables, hills/valleys, power lines, etc. If you are in a high-influence area, for example near big radio-emitters or high-power-lines, this can reduce greatly the range. The same can happen if you are on the top of a hill while your dog is in the valley, or vice versa.

  If you are experiencing less than 50% range or if these environmental factors have been eliminated:

  • Try your trainer in a different area.
  • Replace the batteries, or if they are rechargeable, ensure the collar and transmitter are charged.
  • Ensure the remote transmitter and the collar are correctly synchronised.
  • If your remote has an antenna that can be screwed on, make sure it is tight.

• I have installed a new battery or charged the components, and the collar does not work.
  • Be sure that collar and remote are correctly charged and/or have batteries with enough charge.
  • Check if the collar and remote are still synchronised, or just as a precaution, follow the procedure anyway. Check your manual for instructions on synchronising for your specific product.
  • Remove the battery from the collar and press a button on the remote to give a stimulation. Then reinsert the battery and try again. The system needs to be synchronised for this to work.

• My dog is not responding to the remote trainer.
  • Verify collar is turned on.
  • Check batteries or check battery charge of collar and transmitter.
  • Check the stimulation on the collar with the test light tool (for collars with static stimulation).
  • Ensure proper collar fit. Place the receiver on dog's neck close to the ears. Fit should be snug, allowing 1 finger to fit between the end of the contact point and the dog's neck.
  • Make sure the collar is set to the right stimulation level or mode.
  • Make sure the transmitter is set to the right stimulation level or mode. Maybe a mode has been chosen for more than 1 dog, while you only have 1 dog/collar synchronised.
  • Increase the stimulation level. You can use the Boost button if your system has one.
  • Synchronise collar and transmitter if necessary.
  • Your dog may have become used to the stimulation. Stop using the collar for a few weeks, or switch to tone mode if your collar has this feature.
  • Make sure your dog is within range of the system. Test the system standing very close to your dog, then gradually increase the distance to find the system’s maximum range in that location.
  • If your dog is not responding but the collar is working, repeat training steps. Some dogs benefit from an occasional reminder lesson.
  • If there was a specific incident when your dog failed to respond to the trainer, consider the situation. Was there a distraction, such as a rabbit running by or a barking dog? You might need to use a higher level of stimulation in these cases, and you can use lower levels when your dog is more relaxed or less distracted.

  For collars with static stimulation

  • Make sure the contact probes are making skin contact. This is where the static stimulation is delivered.
  • Trim your dog's fur where the contact points touch the neck. Do not shave your dog’s fur.
  • Purchase long contact points or use the ones included with your system if applicable.

  For collars with spray stimulation

  Make sure there is enough spray in the collar.

• Once my pet is trained and has been obeying my commands, will he have to continue to wear the receiver?

  Probably not, but it depends on how well your dog listens to your commands without the collar on. He may need to wear the collar from time to time for reinforcement.

• What age does my dog need to be before I can start using the remote trainer?

  Your pet should be at least 6 months old and be able to recognise basic obedience commands such as ‘sit’ and ‘stay’.
