●Getting the best results
The performances of your pet fencing system will be optimal if you follow these recommendations before each use:
Make sure the collar battery is sufficiently charged: its condition affects the proper functioning of the collar.
At temperatures below 0°C, the battery is less effective than at room temperature.
Make sure both contact points are properly tightened on the collar.
Check the good fit and position of the collar on the neck of your dog.
●Starting out with the pet fencing system
You can start using the collar with 6-month-old puppies that have already received some basic training
(“stay”, “sit”, or at least “no”).
Do not use the collar with dogs that are not in good physical shape (i.e. cardiac problems, epilepsy) or have
behavioural problems (i.e. aggressive dog).
Your dog will need to get used to the collar, for a few days let the dog wear the collar but do not turn it On.
Closely watch your pet during the first days’ use.
Do not rush
So that your dog quickly makes the connection between the stimulation and his bad behaviour, his attention
must be attracted by first warning him with the beep sounds.
The flags enable your dog to visualize the area where he can move freely and the boundary he must not
cross.
Give your dog plenty of encouragement
Let your dog make is training alone to start with. After the stimulation, as soon as he learns to obey and turn
back, he should be patted; he will understand more quickly and his desire to obey will increase.
Do not leave your dog unattended with the collar on until he is used to wearing it and you are satisfied that it
is working correctly. You should ensure that the stimulation level is adjusted correctly for your dog.
When your dog has fully understood the connection between the stimulation and is bad behaviour, you can
get on with your own jobs, but continue to praise him at other times to reinforce his grasps of the concept of
obedience.
●Cautions for use
Before using the pet fencing system, we advise you to have your dog checked by a vet to ensure it is fit to
wear a collar.
During thunderstorms unplug the transmitter power unit from the power outlet and especially
disconnect the antenna wire connector from the antenna wire socket.
The CANIFUGUE PRO/CANIFUGUE MIX receiver collar is totally waterproof.
The transmitter is not waterproof and must be installed indoor in a dry location (for example
garage or garden shed): it can withstand temperature changes but will be damaged by water.
The system activates automatically as soon as the dog enters the unauthorized zone. However, despite the
product’s excellent reliability, it may be set off unintentionally.
To avoid unintentional triggering, your dog should not wear a tag, metallic collar, or any other collar together
with the pet fencing collar.
Do not place or keep the unit in places exposed to high temperatures.
Carefully check that your pet fencing system operates properly if it has not been used for some time.
Do not adjust or test your product (boundary width, stimulations level) while the collar is on your dog.
The collar should not be worn inside the house.
The pet fencing system is a virtual boundary; you cannot consider it as a solid, foolproof barrier
for all dogs.
Each animal reacts to static stimulations and to training in a different way. Therefore, NUM’AXES cannot
guarantee that your dog will stay, in all circumstances, within the perimeter you have defined. There always
will be a risk of escape. Instinct can overcome training especially when outside distractions tempt your dog
(cats, other dogs, balls, bikes, neighbours,…).
Your dog’s temperament may not be compatible with the product. Do not hesitate to contact a vet or
professional trainer for any further advice.
Keep your pet fencing system out of reach of children.
