TRAINING A DOG
Do you have to teach the dog something or discourage its bad habits?
WHY DOES A DOG OBEY?
The reasons that can persuade a dog to obey are:
▪it gives it pleasant feelings
▪it removes of unpleasant feelings (training)
▪it avoids unpleasant feelings (blocking or “aversion” training)
TEACHING
Behavioural scientists distinguish two rewards:
▪a positive reward = giving something pleasant
▪a negative reward = removing something unpleasant
Both make it possible to condition the animal to repeat a given behaviour.
With a positive reward training system, 4000 to 6000 exercises are neces-
sary to obtain a relative obedience. This is why the majority of people fail in
their attempts (not enough repetitions).
Thanks to training techniques using negative rewards, only 400 to 600
training cycles are needed (10x faster).
Moreover, in the event of occasional disobedience, the animal will under-
stand electronic correction much better.

THE SUPPRESSION OF BAD HABITS
For properly eliminating unwanted behaviour, it has to be associated with a
sufficiently unpleasant stimulation (aversion). The animal will react to the
unpleasant stimulation through a survival reflex.
Something to think about is that 90% of dog owners have not consciously
trained their dog, but in fact it’s the other way around, it’s the dog that has
trained its owner to react to certain behaviour (if it barks, someone opens
the door for it, if it rattles its food dish, someone gives it food or drink …).
The dog has adapted its behaviour to its environment. Thus, it has
acquired a lot of unwanted behaviour that makes life uncomfortable for the
owner.
The electronic dog training collar is the best solution for solving problems
with unwanted behaviour. ***It matches perfectly the aspirations of the
dog owners and acts as a strong catalyst for harmony between the owner
and the animal.
OWNER
Dogs are not human beings. They live in packs. In a democracy, the dog
very quickly becomes a dictator. You have to be the leader of pack, dom-
inating it, your dog must obey you!
PRO-ANIMAL
In most European countries it is forbidden to “cause suffering to an animal
and/or to harm it”.
These laws are interpreted differently in every country. ECMA organization
is a lobby of electronic collars manufacturers working at the highest polit-
ical level to make accept products that meet standards regarding tech-
nology and animal rights as well as applicable laws.

EFFICIENCY OF COLLARS
Electronic collars are very effective.
They offer a quick, lasting solution to problems that would have required
long, expensive and sometimes ineffective therapy (see II, point a).
Thanks to training collars, owners can control the freedom of their dogs
and ensure their safety.
In most cases, these tools also help dog owners to preserve the envir-
onment and their neighbours quiet.

TRAINING TECHNIQUES
Electronic collars improve the acquired training. It is there only in case of an
“accident”.
CORRECTION STIMULATION
If the dog, after being seriously distracted, ignores a known command, a
sufficient stimulation must bring it back under control. A correction must
always be made immediately or, at the latest, within 2 seconds after the dis-
obedience.
At the beginning, it is recommended to use both the lead and the elec-
tronic collar. Once you have reached a certain level of training, the elec-
tronic collar becomes an invisible lead.
AVERSIVE TRAINING
To suppress a bad habit, you should associate a sufficiently aversive stim-
ulation to the unwanted behaviour. Do not add actions nor words to the
stimulation as the animal must believe that its behaviour alone controls the
stimulation.
REMOVAL TRAINING
Use both the lead and the electronic collar in the training together with a
continuous low-level stimulation. Loosening the pull on the lead and stop-
ping the stimulation provide an immediate reward.
If after training the dog refuses to obey a known order, then you can pun-
ish it by using a corrective stimulation (1 to 2 seconds at the latest after the
disobedience, while carefully adjusting its intensity).
EASY TRAINER User Guide|7

CONTACT METHOD
Use a low-level, short stimulation (1/4 of a second) to reinforce or accom-
pany a command already known. The aim is that the dog accepts this stim-
ulation so as, later, to accept the correction stimulation in the event of
disobedience.
Moreover, by accompanying the command with a low, short stimulation, it
is possible to made the dog obey more quickly. This accompanying stim-
ulation keeps the dog’s attention alert.
TRAINING A DEAF DOG
The electronic stimulation is a command, for example:
▪“Come here” = a two-second low-level stimulation, without any
verbal accompaniment.
▪“Sit!” = a ¼ second low-level stimulation without any verbal accom-
paniment.
CAUTION
▪Only use the collar with a dog in good health.
▪If the dog is aggressive, consult a specialist.
▪Check whether the stimulation is being felt or not by “reading” the
dog.
▪The electronic stimulation must be appropriate for the situation.
▪Before use, read the manual carefully and ensure you understand
how to operate the product.

THE CONSTANT STIMULATION
SENSATION (CSS)
The constant stimulation sensation or CSS represents a revolutionary devel-
opment in the world of electronic devices for animal training.
Thanks to this proprietary patented invention from Martin System, it is pos-
sible to stimulate the animal in all weather conditions (dry, wet, in water...)
while maintaining the same intensity of sensation. It is therefore impossible
to involuntarily generate excessive stimulations in the event of a change in
the percentage of moisture of the animal’s skin.
Where a traditional device gives a constant output power, the sensation
can vary according to the operating conditions (moisture, impedance of the
animal’s skin …). Performing an real time smart regulation of the output
power, Martin System guarantees a constant sensation whatever the oper-
ating conditions:
▪Moisture of the animal’s skin,
▪Length, diameter and nature of the electrodes,
▪Thickness of the animal’s fur,
▪Presence of underfur,
