on for up to twelve seconds as long as the

used as a reserve high to stop unsafe behaviors
such as chasing animals or cars.

dog s collar to vibrate like a phone pager.
It allows you to train with a non-electrical type
of stimulation. It’s a great attention getter.

OVERVIEW
training collars give you the
ability to communicate with your dog in a
timely manner even when the dog is far away
from you. This makes it much easier for the
dog to learn its lessons because late corrections
are very confusing to the dog.
remote collars offer three
different kinds of stimulation:
Pressing the Nick button causes a very
short single pulse of electrical stimulation.
It automatically shuts off in a fraction of a
second, no matter how long the button is held
down.
The Nick is used as a substitute for leash
corrections when the dog is off lead.
It is mild but motivating!
