Before using CANICOM 400, we advise you to have your dog checked by your vet to ensure it is
fit to wear a collar.
Check your dog’s neck regularly, the repeated rubbing or the contact points against the
animal’s skin may cause irritation. If this happens, remove the collar until all signs of skin
irritation have disappeared.
Start with the lowest level of stimulation and define the level from which your dog reacts by
increasing gradually.
Do not hesitate to contact a pr o fe s sional trainer for any further advice.
