CONTINUOUS AND
MOMENTARY STIMULATION
“Continuous” stimulation stays on as
long as you press the button, up to 8
seconds. “Momentary” stimulation is al-
ways a quick nick no matter how long
the button is pressed. You can train with
either type; some trainers prefer one and
some the other. For that matter, some
dogs do better with one type and other
dogs do better with the other type.
We recommend you start your training
with “continuous,” using a brief tap of
the button whenever an instruction in
this booklet refers to a “nick.” When
you have a feel for the training, you can
switch to momentary and compare your
dog’s responses. A dog with more e-col-
lar experience often does very well with
momentary stimulation because it gives
a quick reminder that doesn’t upset him.
If you need exceptionally mild stimula-
tion in your early sessions for a very sen-
sitive dog, try the ½ setting and use your
momentary button.
If you are trying to correct your dog for
chasing, you should use the continuous
button and press it for longer than just a
brief “nick.”
Lowering the Level
If your dog becomes worried or upset,
seems confused, or vocalizes during in-
troductory sessions, you might have se-
lected too high an intensity level, so turn
it down. The dog who is showing any of
those signs may also need more help un-
derstanding what you want. So back up a
step or two or simplify things for him by
breaking the Lesson into smaller steps.
Overcoming Very
Strong Distractions
In a case of very exciting distractions,
such as when the dog is chasing some-
thing, many dogs will need quite a bit
higher level than their normal level.
Your dog may vocalize in this case. Af-
ter you have made your point overcom-
ing a strong distraction, you can return
to your normal lower level. You’ll get
much better results from your e-collar
training if you lay a good foundation in
lower-distraction situations before you
present your dog with a very exciting
distraction.
