Questions and answers
about the all-in-one DOGTRAINER
Until which range does the DOG-e-walk work?
• The maximum range of the DOG-e-walk is 10 meters. In that moment where you
don´t focus the device on the dog, the signal is inaudible for him.
Do other dogs around him get irritated by the signal?
• No! The speaker gives a direct signal to the dog’s ear. This means the signal
does not spread. It remains concentrated so that other dogs nearby do not get
irritated.
Is the DOG-e-walk waterproof?
• The DOG-e-walk is of course splash-water protected and enables the training
even at adverse weather conditions.
Is the DOG-e-walk suitable for all dog breeds?
• Yes! Independently from the dogs breed, size and weight
How can I recompense my dog during the training best?
• There are different ways to recompense your dog. Praise and stroke him
exorbitant, if your dog is listening to your command. In addition you can give
him treats, too or combine both.
My dog is very heavy; does the DOG-e-walk work under extreme tensile loading?
• The DOG-e-walk is tested for all dog breeds and sizes. It is also suitable for dogs
with a heavy weight.
How often can I use the device?
• You can use it always, but the purpose of the DOG-e-walk is, that after several
practises you won´t need the device anymore, because your dog has learned
that taking a walk without pulling the leash is much more convenient.
Which battery does the DOG-e-walk require?
• The DOG-e-Walk requires a 9 volt block battery.
Is the DOG-e-walk also suitable for older dogs?
• While getting older the dogs – like humans- are losing the ability of hearing. It
diversifies on the physical condition of the dog, but in general it is also suitable
for older dogs.
For what reason do I need the covers of the DOG-e-walk?
• The covers are for the protection of the DOG-e-walk, especially for the
loudspeaker. Please only remove the covers just before of setting up the
DOG-e-walk between the leash and the collar and keep the covers
carefully. Use the enclosed snap hooks in the packaging
to connect the device between collar and leash.
If you want to use the device as remote-contorl/
clicker for agility training with the dog, please
remove the snap hooks and protect the DOG-ewalk with the covers again.
Can I practise with more than one dog
simultaneously?
• For a quick successful training, it is useful to
practise with one dog only, because the
dogs could irritate each other, so they won’t
pay attention to the exercises you are trying
to teach. But if you have the possibility
to place the second dog, that he
could study what the first dog is
doing without irritating, it might
be possible that the second
dog also receives a successful
practise through the imitation
effect.
Training basics
Remote control
How does the dog learn with the
DOG-e-walk?
By learning through association!
It is educationally grounded that self-motivation is
always stronger than external-motivation.
For this reason we have to use the dog’s selfmotivation and promptly praise him for his good
behaviour.
As remote control trainer / clicker
You want to train your dog without a leash and teach him certain
commands? No problem! This practice is based on the
condition that your dog is familiar with the command for
example “Sit!”
A signal is released as soon as the dog starts
pulling on the leash. The more the dog pulls, the
louder the signal gets. The less he pulls, the quieter
the signal gets.
Support your dog through praise and
attention regarding to his dislike to the
signal. It won‘t take long for him to
associate his pulling on the leash with
the signal and for him to change his
behaviour.
After just a few days it
will be possible to go on a
relaxed walk with your dog.
With the remote control function, you can even
use the DOG-e-walk without a leash.
• The +/- function enables you to regulate
(increase/decrease) the volume of the signal
level that you have chosen.
1. In order to get the best results, please always position yourself so that your dog
can see you well.
2. Also support your command by using the well known hand-signs e.g. pointing
your finger whilst giving the command “Sit!”, or showing a flat hand
(as to say stop) whilst giving the command “Stay!”
3.
Turn off the DOG-e-walk. Give the command “Sit!”
4.
If your dog does not react immediately to the command
(within 2 seconds), then press the +button once on
the volume control.
5.
If your dog reacts to the signal now turn
off the volume via the –button. (All LED‘s
are off.) Praise your dog. (Award giving
method.) As an alternative you can
also give your dog a treat for good
behaviour.
Pulling the leash was in the past!
Tips and tricks
Anti-leash- pulling-training
1. Connect the DOG-e-walk (orientation of the speaker towards the dog) with the
snap hooks between the leash and the dog.
2. Make sure that the DOG-e-walk is turned off during the first
few walks, so that your dog gets used to the new weight of
the leash and considers it as “normal”.
3. If you want to practise with your dog, switch on
the DOG-e-walk. Before he starts to pull on the
leash start with the command: “Heel!”
4. As soon as the dog starts pulling on the
leash, pull him back. Now the device
releases an ultrasonic signal that
increases/decreases according to
the pressure on the leash. (The signal
strength depends on how heavy the
dog pulls.)
5. If he is coming back recompense
him immediately by giving him a
treat or by praising or by praising
and stroking.
The all-in-one dog trainer
Use natural instincts to teach
around the DOG-e-walk
1.
The more you pay attention to your dog, the closer will be the relationship to him.
2.
A busy dog is a satisfied dog. Do not always use the same strolling route. Create
new incentives and let your dog meet new fellows. Maybe you will have
interesting acquaintances, too.
3.
To figure out, how sensitive your dog is, start the first practise with level 1 and
adjust the level only on the next walk. So you
prevent irritations.
4.
Start with a slow and relaxed walk, to let
him get used to the DOG-e-Walk.
5.
Prevent to repeat commands
too often. Thereby you
always give him the
possibility to choose.
6.
If your dog still ignores
your commandsincrease the signal on
the second time.
