5. Troubleshooting
- Device not activating or dog not responding:
- Ensure the device is fully charged.
- Verify the device is powered on.
- Check for a clear line of sight between the device and the dog. Obstructions like walls, fences, or dense foliage can block the ultrasonic signal.
- Adjust the frequency mode to match the dog's size and temperament. Some dogs may respond better to different frequencies.
- Allow sufficient time for training. Dogs may take up to 2 weeks to adapt to the device.
- Consider the dog's hearing. The device is not recommended for dogs with known hearing impairments or neurological disorders.
- Limited effectiveness:
- Important Note: Ultrasound cannot penetrate load-bearing walls. For best results, ensure the device and your dog are in the same room or interconnected open areas.
