AbbiDot T50 - Training Small Dogs

Because smaller dogs are much more delicate, you want to stay on a
lower seng. Begin with an audible tone or vibraon, moving to one of
the lower sengs if necessary. Only move up if your dog doesn’t respond
to the current seng.Be very cauous when training small puppies. You
never want to frighten your puppy. It’s best to avoid any physical
smulaon unl your dog reaches at least adolescence (18-24 months).
Limit your electric collar to an audible tone at this stage.
Step One: Size your e-collar appropriately for your smaller dog, ensuring
a snug (yet not too ght) 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 maed fur.The contact points
should apply only light pressure to your dog’s neck.
Step Two: Begin training using beep with vibraon mode. If you need to
use ‘safe shock with beep’, start at level 1 and slowly increase unl you
find a suitable level.
Step Three: Give your small dog a command he knows, while simultane-
ously pressing the acvaon buon on your dog’s e-collar remote. You’ll
release the smulaon 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 small 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.
