Training Tips
1. Never call your dog to “come” or give a recall command when you are
outside the flag line.
2. Never walk your dog through the flags during the training process.
3. Always reinforce the retreat concept by shaking the flag while saying
“Watch out!” and commanding “back-back-back” when your dog receives
an audible warning or a correction during the training process.
4. Adjust the SmartCollar, test the battery regularly, keep the
contact posts clean.
5. After the training period, your dog may wear the SmartCollar during the day,
but remove it at night. Check your dog’s neck area and make sure there is
no irritation.
6. Keep the training consistent: 15 to 20 minutes once or twice a day.
7. NEVER throw a stick or toy into the Avoidance Zone.
8. ALWAYS maintain a positive attitude when training your dog.
