Introduction

Whether training companion, working, or sport dog, we all want a happy and willing puppy that responds quickly to commands at a distance and under distraction. Your new Bousnic collar is a powerful training tool that can help you reach that goal.

Bousnic electronic training collar (e-collar) is a safe, reliable, and effective training tool. With it, you can make perfectly timed corrections even at great distances. In addition, the adjustable intensity feature allows you to match the stimulation of the training collar to your dog’s temperament and the distraction level of the moment for maximum training efficiency. However, correcting to stop unwanted behavior is only a fraction of what you can do with your e-collar.

Here is an example of a dog training collar that consists of the Remote Transmitter and Receiver Collar:

Bousnic e-collar can be a powerful tool for encouraging desired behavior. But first, you must identify an e-collar intensity setting for your dog that is high enough to be noticed but not so high as to be disruptive. Then, your dog must learn to act in response to the e-collar and that he can, by his actions, control it.

You will find this method of e-collar training is even gentler than many traditional leash-training methods. Additionally, the e-collar improves communication by providing instant feedback to your dog during training. This reduces confusion, fosters a positive training attitude, and accelerates learning, rapidly producing off-leash reliability.

Even if your dog already knows the basic obedience commands, follow the procedures given. Your dog must learn how to respond to the e-collar for each command before you can use your Bousnic collar for training at a distance.

Find the Best Stimulation Level for Your Pet

Important: Start with the vibration mode first & use the static shock mode as a last resort.

Based on the model, the Remote Trainer can have anywhere from 1 to16 different stimulation levels. This allows you to choose the level that is best for your pet. Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your pet, it is time to find the Stimulation Level that is best for him. This is called the Recognition Level. A slight change in your pet’s behavior, such as looking around in curiosity, scratching at his collar, or flicking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him.

Follow the steps below to find your pet’s Recognition Level:

1. Starting at the Lowest Level of stimulation on the Remote Display, press the Vibration or Shock Stimulation Button continuously (further referred to as an [S] button).
2. If your  pet  shows no  reaction,  repeat  the  Stimulation  Level  several  times  before moving up to the next level.
3. YOUR PET SHOULD NOT BARK OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STIMULATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.
4. Move up through the Stimulation Levels until your pet reliably responds to the stim- ulation.
5. If your pet continues to show no response at the Highest Level, check the fit of the Receiver Collar. If your pet has long or thick fur, use the longer set of Contact Points. Then go back to step 1 and repeat the process. If this still does not yield any results, your pet’s hair will need to be trimmed around the Contact Points.

Teaching Basic Obedience

The “Sit” Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar, and attach a 10-foot leash. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
2. Hold the leash and the Remote Transmitter in one hand. Keep your other hand free to guide your pet into a “Sit” position.
3. Press and hold the [S] Button, starting at your pet’s Recognition Level.
4. Immediately give the “Sit” command while continuing to hold the [S] Button.
5. Release the [S] Button as soon as your pet is in position, and praise him.
6. Release your pet from the “Sit” command and play.
7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6.

Note: If your pet breaks the “Sit” command, repeat steps 3 through 6. Keep your pet close to you while teaching the “Sit” command.

The “Come” Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar, and attach a 10-foot leash.
2. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure onthe Contact Points.
3. Hold your leash in one hand and the Remote Transmitter in the other.
4. Wait for your pet to walk away from you. Using the Recognition Level for your pet, press and hold the [S] Button on your Remote.
5. Immediately give the command “Come” while continuing to hold the [S] Button.
6. Using the leash, gently guide your pet toward you until he begins to come in your direction.
7. Immediately release the [S] Button as soon as your pet steps towards you, and praise him enthusiastically.
8. Quickly move backwards as your pet begins to come back to you, praising him the entire time.
9. Praise your pet when he returns to you.
10. Repeat Steps 3 through 8.
11. Once your pet responds readily to the “Come” command several times, back away from him without giving a command. When your pet turns toward you, give the “Come” command (WITHOUT STIMULATION) and praise him while you continue to back up. Praise your pet when he returns to you.
12. Use your leash to prevent your pet from running past you. If your pet manages to run past you, repeat Steps 3 through 8.

The “Stay” Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar, and attach a 10-foot leash. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
2. Put your pet on his bed or on a cooling mat. Hold your leash in one hand and the Remote Transmitter in the other.
3. Staying within 3 feet, walk the perimeter of the bed. Do not say anything to your pet.
4. If your pet tries to leave the bed, press and hold the [S] Button and give the “Stay” command. Continue to hold the button until your pet is back on his bed. If necessary, use the leash to guide your pet onto his place.
5. Praise your pet when he is back on his bed. You are welcome to use treats.
6. Once your pet has settled for a few seconds, release him and play calmly.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 5.

Eliminating Unwanted Behavior

Jumping Up

Pets typically jump up to get attention. If you do not want your pet to jump on you, then friends or members of the family should not encourage this behavior. That means every time your pet jumps on someone, he should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable behavior, for which he can receive praise.

Note: It is best if your pet first understands the “Sit” command.

1. Choose your pet’s Recognition Level.
2. As soon as your pet lifts his paws off the ground to jump on you, press the [S] Button and give the command “Sit.”

• Release the [S] Button immediately once your pet is sitting, and verbally praise him.
• If your pet ignores the stimulation, increase the Intensity Level.
• Practice this exercise in several different areas and use different people for distractions.

Digging

It is important to first understand why your pet is digging. Many dogs, such as terriers, were bred to flush out prey, and digging is very natural to them. Other dogs may be digging to find a cool spot to lay down, or simply out of boredom. Your pet may no longer have the desire to dig if he is provided with the following:

• A cool, shaded area in which to lay down, and plenty of water.
• An alternate activity, such as a favorite toy.
• Plenty of play, exercise, and attention.
• A yard free from rodents or prey that your dog may be trying to find.

1. Choose the Intensity Level 1 higher than your pet’s Recognition Level.
2. Place the Receiver Collar on your pet and wait at least 10 minutes before placing him in the yard. No other people or pets should be in the yard, as you do not want your pet to associate the stimulation with anything other than his digging. Your pet must be securely fenced in or contained during training.
3. From a window or area where your pet cannot see you, wait until your pet begins to dig.
4. While your pet digs, press the [S] Button and release it when he stops digging. Only press the button while your pet is in the act of digging, and do not say anything to him.
5. If your pet ignores the stimulation, increase the Intensity Level.
6. Continue to watch your pet, as he may choose another area to dig.
7. Do not  allow  your  pet  in  the  yard  unsupervised  until  he  has  completely  stopped digging.

Chasing

Chasing is an instinctive behavior stimulated  by  moving  objects.  Some dogs  have  a particularly  strong  desire  to  chase  that  can  put  them in  harm’s  way  and  leave  you helpless. Never allow your dog off the leash or out of a contained area until he has learned the “Come” command, regardless of the  distraction.  Be consistent and correct your dog every time he chases something.

CAUTION! It is vitally important that you and your dog remain safe while learning during on-leash training. Your dog should be on a strong leash, long enough for him to attempt to chase an object, but short enough for him not to reach a road or other unsafe area. You must also be physically strong to restrain your dog when he tries to chase.

1. If your dog has not learned the “Come” command, keep a leash on him so you can physically stop him before he reaches the object he is chasing.
2. Choose the Intensity Level 1 higher than your dog’s Recognition Level.
3. Set up a scenario where your dog is enticed to chase an object. Common items could be cars, motorcycles, bicycles, etc. (do not use toys).
4. When the object passes in front of your dog, make sure to hold the leash with a firm grip. As soon as your dog begins to chase the object, press and hold the [S] Button until he stops.
5. When your dog stops chasing the object, immediately release the button, walk back- wards and give the “Come” command. Praise your dog as he comes to you.
6. Repeat the process until your dog stops chasing the object.

Trash Raiding

The easiest way to prevent trash raiding is to remove garbage and tempting food from your pet’s environment. You can use the Remote Trainer to teach your pet to stay away from  these  items;  however,  you  must  be  prepared  to correct  your  pet  every  time  he approaches them.

1. Choose the Intensity Level 1 higher than your pet’s Recognition Level.
2. Pick a temptation for your pet and position yourself where he cannot see you.
3. While your pet’s mouth is touching the temptation, press and hold the [S] Button. Immediately release the button when your pet leaves the temptation.
4. Do not  say  anything,  as  you  want  your  pet  to  associate  the  stimulation  with  his behavior, not you.
5. If your pet does not respond to the stimulation, increase the Intensity Level by 1 and repeat the process.
6. Repeat this process in several different locations with different temptations.

General Tips

• Bousnic Dog Training Collar is not design to be worn constantly. We recommend you to limit collar usage just for active Training Sessions. Always take off the collar when you leave your dog unattended.
• Most dogs will feel uncomfortable when wearing collar for the first time. Don’t use any commands until your dog has gotten used to the collar which will normally take several days.
• Eliminate one unwanted action or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move to quickly with training, your dog may become confused.
• Be consistent in your training. Give your dog the same stimulation for each unwanted action. We suggest you to use Vibration Stimulation before starting the Static Shock Stimulation. If   you follow this training method, your dog will learn that Static Shock Stimulation might come after Vibration. Hence, the Vibration Stimulation alone can effectively cure unwanted behavior of your dog.
• Do not overcorrect. Use as few stimulation as possible to train your dog.
• Following a predefined scenario in all Training Sessions can dramatically improve your chances of success.
• Should your dog react to the training by hiding or reacting fearfully, redirect his attention to a simple command such as “Speak” or “Sit” to calm him down. Use treats to help your dog understanding what commands have been done correctly.
