FAQs
How do the discs work?
The discs create a unique sound that dogs associate with unwanted behaviors. By dropping the discs at the moment the dog misbehaves, you help the dog learn what actions are not desired.
Are the discs safe for my dog?
Yes, the discs are safe. However, avoid dropping them directly on your dog or near their ears. Use them as a sound deterrent, not as a punishment.
What if my dog is afraid of the sound?
Introduce the discs slowly. Start by showing them to your dog and rewarding calm behavior. Drop them from a low height initially to minimize the sound. Always pair with positive reinforcement.
How long will it take to see results?
Results vary depending on the dog's temperament and the consistency of your training. Some dogs may respond quickly, while others may take longer. Consistency is key.
Can I use the discs for all types of training?
The discs are primarily designed for correcting unwanted behaviors. They are not ideal for teaching commands. Supplement with other training methods.
What is the diameter of each disc?
Each disc has a diameter of 4.5 cm.
What material are the discs made from?
The discs are made of metal and are chrome plated.
What is included with the discs?
The product includes 5 metal discs on a rope and a training guide with tips and tricks.
Troubleshooting
Dog doesn't respond to the sound.
Ensure the sound is distinct and delivered at the moment of the unwanted behavior. Experiment with the volume of the drop or try a different surface.
Dog becomes anxious around the discs.
Introduce the discs gradually. Allow the dog to see and sniff them without dropping them initially. Pair the discs with positive reinforcement (treats) when the dog is calm.
Discs are damaged.
Inspect discs regularly. If damaged (e.g., severe dents), replace the set. Minor wear is expected with use.
