Use verbal commands first and supplement with a corrective stimulus only as needed. Be
consistent with your verbal commands using the same words every time.
Use the beeps as a warning by pushing the Beep button. The dog will become conditioned
to the beep preceding the corrective stimulus and will soon learn to recognise the beep as a
warning along with your verbal command.
This system is not appropriate for correcting aggressive behaviour. Please consult a
professional trainer for advice about that.
Do not rely on this product solely to train your dog. If your dog shows signs of growling,
snarling, biting or aggression while using the collar, stop training immediately and contact a
professional trainer.
Although most dogs respond to this product, some will not. MGG cannot guarantee the
effectiveness of this or any other trainer on your dog.
This product is not recommended for aggressive or elderly animals in poor health or animals
otherwise unable to withstand the static stimulus.
Caution:
Any collar worn for extended periods can cause a condition similar to bedsores
known as Pressure Necrosis. To reduce the possibility you must do the following. Never
leave the collar on your dog for more than 12 hours per day. Examine your dog’s neck daily
for any signs of a rash or a sore. Supervise your dog during the first 2 days of training.
Regularly check the fit of the collar to prevent excessive pressure. You should be able to
insert one finger between the collar strap and your dog’s skin.
SAFETY:
To maximise the effectiveness of the DTC 600 remote training system and the safety of your
dog, please check the fit of the collar frequently and re-adjust the position of the electrodes
on their neck if necessary, checking for signs of irritation or discomfort.
If signs of skin irritation are noticed, immediately discontinue use and apply antibiotic
ointment to help heal and sooth the area. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours seek
the advice of a veterinarian. Such side effects are extremely rare and are generally caused
by a more serious underlying condition.
Wash the dog’s neck area and the correction poles as often as needed to keep the area and
poles clean. Make sure the straps are clean for best performance. The straps can be
removed for cleaning but must be replaced in the same position.
Stop any undesirable behaviour by administering the stimulus DURING THE ACTUAL
BEHAVIOUR.
Using this device as a punishment after the fact does no good at all and will
confuse or frustrate the animal.
