Research andinvestigate the training methods bestsuited for you, your dog, and your needs.This manual will provide some basicsabout training, but you are encouraged toresearch more.When used properly, the collar is a veryeffective training tool to aid your dog inreaching its full potential. The use of the16 Dog TrainingDRAFT
collar should be used as part of an overalltraining program.Begin training your dog on a leash,without the collar. Train your dog how toheel, sit and stay and come to you. Afterthe dog shows a grasp of the concepts ofthese three basic commands, you begintraining with the collar and the leash.Finally, when the dog consistently obeyscommands using the leash and collar, youcan remove the leash to train with onlythe collar.Selecting and Installing theContact PointsFor best results, select the correct contactpoints based on your dog's coat.1Select the correct contact point lengthfor your dog's coat type:• For dogs with thicker coats, usethe longer contact points.• For dogs with shorter coats, usethe shorter contact points.2If necessary, use the included wrenchto remove the contact points.3Twist the contact points into the collar.4Tighten with the included wrench, butdo not over tighten.When you put the collar on the dog, makesure that the contact points are tightagainst the neck (page 10).Removing the Contact PointsWhen you are not training the dog usingthe training keys, remove the contactpoints.1Use the included wrench to removeboth contact points.2Place the cap over the contact pointholes.Setting the Training Keys forOne DogBefore you can assign the training keys toa dog, you must add the dog to thehandheld device (page 7).By default, the training keys are set to thelowest stimulation setting, with momentary(M), continuous (C), and tone (T) for eachkey.

This way, thedog is less likely to become confused andtraining should progress more quickly.Pay close attention while training the dog,so you can begin to learn when to gofaster or slower, and when to take abreak.With plenty of repetition, consistency,patience, and a lot of praise, the dogshould begin to obey these commands in18 Dog TrainingDRAFT
just a few short training sessions. Oncethe dog demonstrates a grasp of theconcepts of these commands while on aleash, training with collar stimulations canbe introduced, while keeping the dog onthe leash.Training to HeelBefore you being training, put a leash onthe dog, and select an area with minimaldistractions.The first command that you will teach thedog is the “heel” command.1With the dog at your side on a leash,command the dog to “heel” and beginwalking forward while gently pulling onthe leash.2If the dog gets in front of you, repeatthe command “heel,” and move inanother direction or pull back on theleash.3If the dog starts to lag behind you,lightly tug on the leash to bring thedog back to your side.Reward the dog with praise when the dogobeys the command.Training to Sit and StayBefore you being training, put a leash onthe dog, and select an area with minimaldistractions. Before you train to sit andstay, you should first train to "heel."The actual command is “sit,” and the“stay” is implied. When you command thedog to sit, the dog should stay until youindicate otherwise.1Begin training this command walkingthe dog on a leash in the heelposition.2Stop walking, pull up on the leash,and command the dog to "sit."3Maintain steady pressure on the leashuntil the dog obeys the command.4If the dog does not obey and seemsconfused, gently push down on thedog's back above the flank, to makethe dog sit.Reward the dog with praise when the dogsits and stays.Training to Come HereBefore you being training, put a leash onthe dog, and select an area with minimaldistractions. Before you begin training theDog Training 19DRAFT
dog to come here, you should first trainthe dog to "heel" and "sit."Teaching your dog to come here is themost important command. The "here"command allows you to maintain controlof your dog and can be used to call yourdog away from a potentially dangeroussituation. This command must be taughtproperly.1With the dog in a sitting position,move away to the end of the leash.You may need to use a long leash toeffectively train "here."2Command the dog to come “here”while gently tugging on the leash.The dog might resist this command. Withrepetition and patience, the dog will learnto obey the command.Reward the dog with praise when the dogobeys the command.Collar TrainingBegin training your dog on a leash,without the dog collar device. After thedog shows a grasp of the concepts of"heel," "sit" and "stay," and "here," youcan begin training with the collar and theleash.During the initial stage of collarintroduction, the dog learns that collarstimulation means the same thing as atug on the leash. At first, the dog may bealarmed by the electronic stimulation. Thekey is to be patient and consistent and tonot start off at too high of an intensity. Befair and consistent, use repetition andpraise when using the collar as a trainingtool.If the dog does not respond to thestimulation level you have selected(page 22), increase the stimulation onelevel at a time until you achieve theappropriate response. Once you achievethe desired response, you can lower thestimulation level as long as the dogmaintains consistency.As the dog becomes more responsive tothe training, you should begin to stimulateintermittently, giving the dog a "freebie."This will help keep the dog's attitudeupbeat, and let you know that the dog isresponding to the command rather thanjust the collar. As the dog becomes moreproficient with the commands, you can20 Dog TrainingDRAFT
begin to introduce distractions, such asrolling a ball in front of the dog or walkinghim in the presence of others.After the dog begins to respondconsistently to the command during collartraining, typically after about 5 or 6training sessions using the collar, you canremove the leash and train with just thecollar. Eventually in most trainingcircumstances, your commands will notrequire stimulation when given with thecommand. You should only usestimulation when you need to repeat acommand because the dog did not obeythe first one.As the dog becomes better trained, youshould decrease the use of collar training.Continue to have the dog wear the collaruntil you feel certain that it is no longerneeded to reinforce known commands.Abandoning the collar too early can leadto problems in the future.Training Intensities and TypesThe Alpha system provides two styles oftraining stimulation intensity levels. Thedefault intensity style, Linear, contains 18simulation levels. The lowest level ofsimulation is 1, and the levels increasesequentially to 18.The second style, Traditional, contains 6numbered levels that each have a high(Hi), medium (Med), and low (Lo) setting.Level 1 Lo is going to produce a veryslight stimulation that is hardly perceived.Level 6 on Hi produces a very strongstimulation. You should find the correcttraining intensity level and then use Lo,Med, Hi levels as needed for thesituation.The Alpha system uses momentary (M)and continuous (C) types of stimulations.Momentary applies a brief stimulationwhen you press the key, regardless ofhow long the key is depressed.Continuous applies stimulation to the dogthe entire time you press the key, for amaximum of 8 seconds. Your stimulationsshould typically be far shorter than 8seconds. Continuous can be helpful whenfirst beginning training with your dog.You can also train using a tone (T). Whenyou select T for a key, the key pressactivates an audible tone instead ofstimulation. Using the tone can be ahelpful training tool.Dog Training 21DRAFT
Choosing the Correct Intensity Level1Set the training keys to the lowestlevel (page 17).2Press a training key.3Observe the dog for a reaction, suchas a head shake, neck movement, orjust a change in expression.Sometimes dogs will vocalize due tothe surprise of the electricalstimulation. If the dog vocalizes morethan once, the intensity level is toohigh for beginning training.4If there is no reaction, increase theintensity level by one level until thedog has a slight but discerniblereaction to the stimulation.The intensity level that causes a slight butdiscernible reaction is your dog's baselinelevel for beginning collar training. You donot need to, and should not, apply thisintensity selection test again.After you begin training, the dog’sperformance guides your intensityselection. As the dog advances intraining, you may need to change thelevel depending upon circumstances.Teaching the Dog to Heel and Sit withthe CollarBefore you begin training your dog usingthe collar, your dog must show a grasp ofthe "heel," "sit," and "come" while on theleash, you must put on the collar(page 10), and you must find the correctintensity level (page 22).When beginning collar training, start withthe "heel" and "sit" commands.1With the dog at your side on a leash,pull up on the leash, and commandthe dog to "sit," and also press atraining key briefly.After the dog begins associating thecollar stimulation with the command,move on to the "heel" command.Many dogs indicate that it is time tomake this transition by trying to sitbefore being commanded, in an effortto avoid the stimulation associatedwith the command.2With the dog at your side on a leashand with the collar on, command“heel” and begin walking forward whilegently pulling on the leash.22 Dog TrainingDRAFT
3If the dog gets in front of you, press atraining key briefly, repeat thecommand “heel”, and move in anotherdirection or pull back on the leash.Reward the dog with praise when the dogobeys commands.Training the Dog to Come Here withthe CollarBefore you begin training your dog to"come" using the collar, your dog must astrong grasp of the "heel" and "sit"commands using the collar, you must puton the collar (page 10), and you must findthe correct intensity level (page 22).Teaching your dog to come here is themost important command.
