1 - What are the
advantages of training
with MasterPlus
®
PRO?
Dogs are often better behaved when
their owners are close at hand because
then they are under "direct" control. If
they behave badly, punishment is
immediate and inevitable.
When you are far away from a dog, he
is in a stronger position because you
have no way of controlling him.
A remote controlled device solves many
of these distance-related problems.
As it can be triggered without the
owner seeming to be involved or angry,
such a device can be used to
interrupt bad behaviours by distracting
the dog and capturing his attention.
It allows you to play a positive, 'fun"
role (calling him to play a game,
running away from him, etc.) rather
than a negative one.
In brief: A remote controlled device
allows you to act upon your dog's beha-
viour, however far away he is (within its
range limit).
Before MasterPlus

PRO:
training with punishment
In the world of dog training, the word
"punishment" has a very precise
meaning and, in order to be effective, a
punitive stimulus must be:
• Unpleasant for the animal (i.e. induce
pain or fear)
• Consistently applied every time and
as soon as the animal performs the
behaviour to be discouraged, or
straight after
These rules are difficult to obey, but if
they are not applied fully, the training
programme will be fundamentally
flawed. Serious distress and associated
behavioural problems will occur if the
dog is punished in the wrong context or
with poor timing.
With MasterPlus
®
PRO: Training
without punishment
The MasterPlus
®
PRO does not deliver a
punishing stimulus; rather it is a
disruptive stimulus. Disruptive stimuli
do not give rise to the same emotional
and practical problems as punitive
stimuli.
2 - What is a disruptive
stimulus?
Dogs perform complex behaviours like
hunting in a sequence or chain of
- 2 -
events. The whole sequence can be
stopped if a disruptive stimulus, like the
gas release of MasterPlus
®
PRO
surprises the dog. It will make him
pause and concentrate, giving you the
chance to redirect him towards a more
desirable activity.
The surprise effect produced by the
cold spray of the MasterPlus
®
PRO
collar stimulates all of the senses of
touch, sight and hearing. Repeated
sessions give rapid results.
3 - Tips to help you use
MasterPlus
®
PRO
The MasterPlus
®
PRO is intended to
complement or enhance your role as
pack leader, but it cannot be a
substitute for your authority. Rather, it is
a complementary tool to a range of
intelligent, reward-centred training
techniques. For instance, as soon as the
behaviour to be discouraged occurs,
you should give a verbal command (e.g.
"Stop", "Quiet", "No", "Heel", etc.). This
command should be given clearly in a
firm tone, without signs of anger.
• If the command is not obeyed, trigger
the collar immediately so that the dog
comes to associate your command
with the interruption that follows.
• If the behaviour to be discouraged is
one that only occurs when your dog
believes you are absent (e.g. stealing,
eating things, digging holes or
running away), find a hiding place
and trigger the collar without verbal
warning or command as soon as the
misbehaviour begins. The dog will
then learn that there are things that
are forbidden, even when you are not
present.
