DOG TRAINING

• How to Select Contact Points and Contact Spring Sheet?
  • For the best results, it’s important to select suitable contact points based on the thickness of your dog’s coat.
  • You can use the contact points separately or together with the spring sheet.

COLLAR FITTING

• When placing the collar on your dog, make sure it fits properly and the contact points are pressed firmly against the dog’s skin. If the collar is fitted too loosely, it may move during the training process and the contact points may hurt the dog’s skin.
• The collar should also not be fitted too tightly: you should be able to place a finger between the dog’s neck and the training collar. If placed too tightly, the collar may cause breathing difficulties for your dog.

Caution:
Do not shave your pet’s neck as this may increase the risk of skin irritation. Your dog shouldn’t wear the collar for more than 12 hours per day.

HOW TO FIND THE BEST STIMULATION LEVEL FOR YOUR PET?

• Important: always start with the vibration mode first and use the static Stimulation mode as the last resort.
• Depending on the model of your training collar, you may be able to access anywhere from one to 99 different stimulation levels. This can help you find the level that is best for your dog.
• Once you’ve placed the collar on your pet, it’s time to find the most suitable stimulation level.
• At this stage of the process, you will need to watch your pet carefully for the slightest changes in behavior like looking around in curiosity, scratching at the collar or flicking ears. All these behaviors are indicators that you have found a suitable stimulation level. This is also known as Recognition Level.

Follow the steps below:

1. Start at the lowest stimulation level: press and hold the Vibration or Stimulation Button continuously (further referred to as the [S] button).
2. If your pet shows no reaction, repeat the first step several times before moving up to a higher stimulation 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 available stimulation levels until your pet responds.
5. If your pet continues to show no response at the highest stimulation level, check if the collar is fitted properly. If your pet has long or thick fur, try using the longer set of contact points. Then go back to step 1 and repeat the process. If there is no change, you might need to trim your dog’s hair around the contact points.

DOG TRAINING GUIDE

BASIC OBEDIENCE TRAINING WITH THE ABBIDOT E-COLLAR

Dog Training Collar Introduction

• Whether you are training a companion dog, a hunting dog or a dog athlete, we generally want to attain the same results: we want our pets to be happy and safe. We also want them to respond to commands timely even when at a distance and in the presence of distractions.
• The ABBIDOT Dog Training Collar is a powerful training tool that can help you attain these results.
• The ABBIDOT electronic training collar (e-collar) is a safe, reliable and effective training tool. With it, you can make timely corrections to your dog’s behavior — even at a distance.
• Thanks to the collar’s adjustable levels, you get to match the intensity of stimulation to your dog’s temperament and the distraction level of the moment for maximum training efficiency.
• With that, correcting unwanted behaviors is only a fraction of you can do with your new e-collar.
• In fact, the ABBIDOT e-collar can be a powerful tool for encouraging desired behavior. But first, you need to identify the right e-collar settings for your dog: the one that is high enough to be noticed but not so high as to be disruptive.
• The next step would be for your dog to control the “behavior” of the collar with their actions.
• You may soon find that these methods of e-collar training are actually gentler than many traditional leash-training methods. E-collar training can improve communication with your pet 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 ABBIDOT collar for training at a distance.

TEACHING BASIC OBEDIENCE

The “Sit” Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the e-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 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 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 in one hand and the remote in the other.

3. 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.

4. Immediately give the command “Come” while continuing to hold the [S] button.

5. Using the leash, gently guide your pet toward you until they begin to come in your direction.

6. Immediately release the [S] button as soon as your pet steps towards you and praise them enthusiasti-cally.

7. Quickly move backwards as your pet begins to come back to you praising him the entire time.

8. Praise your pet when he returns to you.

9. Repeat Steps 3 through 8.

10. Once your pet has responded 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 them while you continue to back up. Praise your pet when he returns to you.

11. 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 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 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 their bed. If necessary, use the leash to guide your pet onto their place.
5. Praise your pet when they are back on their 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 as well. This means that every time your pet jumps on someone, they should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable behavior, for which they can receive praise.
Note: it is best if your pet first understands the “Sit” command.

1. On the remote, select your pet’s Recognition Level.
2. As soon as your pet lifts a paw off the ground to jump on you, press the [S] button and give the “Sit” command.
3. Release the [S] button immediately once your pet is sitting, and verbally praise them.
4. If your pet ignores the stimulation, increase the Intensity Level.
5. 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 like 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 they are 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 that is one level above your pet’s Recognition Level.
2. Place the collar on your pet and wait at least 10 minutes before letting them out 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 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. As your pet starts digging, press the [S] button and release it when the digging stops. Only press the button while your pet is in the act of digging and do not say anything.
5. If your pet ignores the stimulation, increase the Intensity Level.
6. Continue to watch your pet as they may choose another area to dig.
7. Do not allow your pet in the yard unsupervised until the digging has stopped completely.

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 they have learned the “Come” command, regardless of the distraction. Be consistent and correct your dog every time they chase 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 they try to chase.

1. If your dog has not learned the “Come” command, keep a leash on them so that you can physically stop them before they reach the object that is being chased.
2. Choose the intensity level that is one level above your pet’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 they stop.
5. When your dog stops chasing the object, immediately release the button, walk backwards and give the “Come” command. Praise your dog as they come 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 e-collar to teach your pet to stay away from these items; however, you must be prepared to correct your pet every time they approach them.

1. Choose the intensity level that is one level above your dog’s Recognition Level.
2. Pick a temptation for your pet and position yourself where they can’t 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 their behavior, not you.
5. If your pet does not respond to the stimulation, increase the Intensity Level by 1 level and repeat the process.
6. Repeat this process in several different locations with different temptations.

General Tips

• The ABBIDOT Dog Training Collar is not designed to be worn constantly. We strongly advise you to reserve collar usage to active training sessions. When you leave your dog unattended, make sure to take the collar off.
• Most dogs will feel uncomfortable when wearing the collar for the first time. Don’t use any commands until your dog has got 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 too quickly with the training, your dog may become confused.
• Be consistent with 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. This way, the Vibration Stimulation alone can effectively to curb unwanted behavior of your dog.
• Do not over-correct. Use as little stimulation as possible to train your dog.
• Following a predefined scenario of all your training sessions can dramatically improve your chances of success.
• Should your dog react to the training by hiding or acting fearfully, try to redirect their attention to a simple command such as “Speak” or “Sit” to calm them down. Use treats to help your dog understand what commands have been done correctly.

TRAINING LARGE BREEDS

What Setting Should You Use with Large Breeds?
You might need to use a higher setting with your large breed dog! Even so, you still want to begin with a low setting or simple vibration and work your way up until you find something appropriate.

• Step One: Size your e-collar appropriately for your larger dog, ensuring a snug (yet not too tight) fit. You should be able to fit two fingers between the contact leads and your dog’s skin.

  • Your electric collar’s contact points should make contact with your dog’s skin. Make sure they aren’t covered by matted fur.
    The contact points should apply only light pressure to your dog’s neck.

• Step Two : Begin training using beep with vibration mode. If you need to use ‘safe shock with beep‘, start at level 1 and slowly increase until you find a suitable level.

• Step Three : Give your dog a command he knows, while simultaneously pressing the activation button on your dog’s e-collar remote. You’ll release the stimulation once your dog follows through!

  • Remember, this isn’t meant to be used as punishment and shouldn’t be uncomfortable. It is only a sort of physical reinforcer to go along with your audible commands.
  • Closely monitor your large breed dog during the first day of use to ensure a proper, working fit.
  • Removing your dog’s electric collar at night or when you can’t offer supervision is recommended. There is always a slight chance the collar can catch and cause a hazard.

TRAINING SMALL DOGS

What Setting Should You Use with Small Breeds?
Because smaller dogs are much more delicate, you want to stay on a lower setting. Begin with an audible tone or vibration, moving to one of the lower settings if necessary. Only move up if your dog doesn’t respond to the current setting.Be very cautious when training small puppies. You never want to frighten your puppy. It’s best to avoid any physical stimulation until your dog reaches at least adolescence (18-24 months). Limit your electric collar to an audible tone at this stage.

1. Step One: Size your e-collar appropriately for your smaller dog, ensuring a snug (yet not too tight) fit. You should be able to fit two fingers between the contact leads and your dog’s skin.
   Your electric collar’s contact points should make contact with your dog’s skin. Make sure they aren’t covered by matted fur.The contact points should apply only light pressure to your dog’s neck.

2. Step Two : Begin training using beep with vibration mode. If you need to use ‘safe shock with beep’, start at level 1 and slowly increase until you find a suitable level.

3. Step Three: Give your small dog a command he knows, while simultane-ously pressing the activation button on your dog’s e-collar remote. You’ll release the stimulation once your dog follows through!

4. Remember, this isn’t meant to be used as punishment and shouldn’t be uncomfortable. It is only a sort of physical reinforcer to go along with your audible commands.

5. Closely monitor your small breed dog during the first day of use to ensure a proper, working fit.

6. Removing your dog’s electric collar at night or when you can’t offer supervision is recommended. There is always a slight chance the collar can catch and cause a hazard.

DOG TRAINING TERMS AND WHAT THEY MEAN

• Training Marker
  A ‘marker’ is something we use to mark good behavior. A dog clicker is used as a marker to mark good behavior before that treat comes! You can also use the sound setting on your electric collar to mark good behavior!

• Dog Training Reinforcement
  Reinforcement is exactly what the word implies. You are reinforcing a dog behavior you like or increasing the likelihood it will happen again.

• Positive Reinforcement
  The ‘positive’ precursor indicates addition, or something is being added to reinforce the behavior. Offering a tasty treat for a job well done is positive reinforcement.

• Negative Reinforcement
  Stopping the buzz vibration from that electric collar once your dog complies with your command (if being used in this way). increasing the likelihood the dog will follow through faster next time.

• Conditioning
  Through repeated acts or behaviors, your dog is conditioned to repeat that behavior again and more frequently.

• Classical Conditioning
  In classical conditioning, the dog forms involuntary responses to things happening. It is ‘associative learning’.

• Operant Conditioning
  Operant conditioning is learning through rewards/ outcomes or consequences. Your dog does something good and receives a treat. Operant conditioning is voluntary, whereas classical conditioning involves involuntary responses.

It fully depends on your and your pet’s situation. You might need to reinforce the results of collar training from time to time.

How long can I continuously deliver Vibration or Shock stimulation to my pet?

No longer than 10 seconds for Vibration mode. No longer than 3 seconds for Static Shock mode. IMPORTANT: while it is okay to use the Vibration mode for up to 10 seconds, it is highly recommended to limit the continuous Static Shock stimulation to no more than 3 seconds (the smaller the dog the shorter the time)

What should I do if my dog’s neck becomes red and irritated?

Stop using the product immediately for at least 48 hours. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, consult your veterinarian.

Can I attach a leash to the e-collar?

No, this can result in pulling the contact points too tightly against your dog’s neck. Use a separate collar when needed.

How long can I leave the e-collar on my dog for?

The collar is not designed to be worn continuously. We recommend your pet only wears the e-collar during training sessions or other outdoor activities.

How long can I continuously deliver vibration/Shock to my pet?

The maximum amount of time you can press the Vibration/Shock Button and deliver Vibration/Shock to your pet continuously is 10 seconds. After this, there’s a time-out and Vibration/Shock cannot be delivered for 5 seconds. After the 5 second time-out, you can press the button again to deliver Vibration/Shock.

Is the Vibration/Shock safe for my pet?

While the Vibration/Shock stimulation may be unpleasant, it is generally harmless to your pet when used correctly. However, your input as a trainer is essential in ensuring the safety of this process.

How old does my pet have to be for me to use the e-collar for training?

Your pet should be able to recognize basic obedience commands such as “Sit” or “Stay”. Pets should be at least 6 months old before you can use the training collar to train them.

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

Probably not. You may need to reinforce training with the Receiver Collar from time to time.

Is the e-collar waterproof?

Yes, the receiver collar is waterproof, but the remote is not waterproof.

Will I get exactly 1500 feet of range with the collar’s remote?

The range of the remote may be affected by a number of factors like terrain, weather, vegetation, transmission from other radio devices and so on.

How long should the training session be?

Training sessions should be kept short and positive (10-15 minutes).
