Operating Instructions
The MODUS device features three adjustable modes to effectively deter unwanted dog behaviors. The device emits a green LED indicator when it is working.
Understanding the Modes
- Beep Mode: Functions as a dog clicker or whistle. Recommended for establishing a conditioned reflex before using ultrasonic modes.
- Irregular Mode (Ultrasonic): Emits ultrasonic sounds at irregular frequencies. This helps prevent dogs from adapting to a specific ultrasonic frequency, enhancing effectiveness.
- Fixed Mode (Ultrasonic): Emits ultrasonic sounds at a fixed frequency.
Figure 3: The device offers three modes for varied training approaches.
General Usage
- When your dog exhibits an unwanted behavior (e.g., excessive barking), choose the appropriate training mode.
- Point the ultrasonic emission port towards the dog's head.
- Press the emission key while coordinating with verbal commands and gestures (e.g., "Quiet," "No Bark").
- Once the dog stops the unwanted behavior and remains quiet for approximately 3 minutes, provide positive reinforcement such as treats or petting to strengthen the desired behavior.
Important: Consistency and patience are crucial for effective training. Always reward your dog for good behavior.
