Training Intensities and Methods
You can use several methods to train your dog. The
Pro 550 system provides
7 stimulation intensity levels, which increase sequentially from
1 to
7.
- Momentary stimulation
-
Applies a brief stimulation when you press the training key, regardless of how long the key is depressed.
- Continuous stimulation
-
Applies stimulation to the dog the entire time you press the training key, for a maximum of 8 seconds. Your stimulations should typically be much shorter than 8 seconds.
- Tone
-
Activates an audible tone instead of stimulation. A tone can be used as either a positive or negative training cue, depending on your training program.
- Vibration
-
Applies vibration instead of stimulation to the dog the entire time you press the training key, for a maximum of 8 seconds. The effectiveness of vibration may vary based on the dog's temperament and experience.
