Methods to Add a Dog to a
Handheld Device
If you purchased the collar and the
handheld device separately, you must
add the collar to the handheld device. You
can add up to 20 collars to one handheld
device.
There are three different methods to add
(or pair) the collar to the handheld device:
using MURS/VHF, using the track/train
code, or using ANT+™.
Adding over MURS/VHF : Allows you to
pair after you have placed the collar
into paring mode by pressing the
power key.
This method is helpful when you are
adding a new accessory collar to the
system prior to leaving for the hunt.
See page 7.

requires the dog's owner to find and
communicate the codes to the person
adding the dog.
This method is helpful when you
would like to add a dog before a hunt,
but you are not near the dog. For
example, you are adding another
member of your hunting party's dog to
your handheld device, but you do not
own the dog.
See page 7.
Sharing wirelessly over ANT+ : Allows
you to add a dog that you do not own
and that is not in the area. The dog's
owner must determine if people can
only track the dog or can track and
train the dog. This method does not
require the dog's owner to find and
communicate the codes to the person
adding the dog. The two handheld
devices must be within range (10 feet)
to share data wirelessly.
This method is helpful when you
would like to add a dog during a hunt,
and you are not near the dog. For
example, the dogs have already been
let loose, but you are near the dog

Communication with the Collar
If the collar and handheld device came in the same packaging, they were paired at the
factory. If you are using a collar or handheld device that you purchased separately, add
the collar to the handheld device to establish a communication link between the collar
and handheld device (page 6).
The collar and handheld device must be within range to communicate with each other.
The MURS/VHF radio communication range is up to 9 miles.
The collar and handheld device use radio signals to communicate. Objects in the path of
radio signals degrade the quality of the signals. Keeping an unobstructed line of sight
between the collar and handheld device produces the best communication signal.
Obstructed radio waves result in a poor signal. To achieve the best line-of-sight

Basic Training Commands
You should begin training your dog with a
few basic commands using a leash only.
You should train the three basic
commands in the following order: "heel,"
"sit" and "stay," and "here."
Initially, you should keep the training
sessions short and only train one
command during a session. This way, the
dog is less likely to become confused and
training should progress more quickly.
Pay close attention while training the dog,
so you can begin to learn when to go
faster or slower, and when to take a
break.
With plenty of repetition, consistency,
patience, and a lot of praise, the dog
should begin to obey these commands in

Dog Training
Training to Heel
AF
Before you being training, put a leash on
the dog, and select an area with minimal
distractions.
The first command that you will teach the
dog is the “heel” command.
1 With the dog at your side on a leash,
command the dog to “heel” and begin
walking forward while gently pulling on
the leash.
2 If the dog gets in front of you, repeat
the command “heel,” and move in
another direction or pull back on the
leash.
3 If the dog starts to lag behind you,
lightly tug on the leash to bring the
dog back to your side.
Reward the dog with praise when the dog
obeys the command.
Training to Sit and Stay
Before you being training, put a leash on
the dog, and select an area with minimal
distractions. Before you train to sit and
stay, you should first train to "heel."
The actual command is “sit,” and the
“stay” is implied. When you command the
dog to sit, the dog should stay until you
indicate otherwise.
1 Begin training this command walking
the dog on a leash in the heel
position.
2 Stop walking, pull up on the leash,
and command the dog to "sit."
3 Maintain steady pressure on the leash
until the dog obeys the command.
4 If the dog does not obey and seems
confused, gently push down on the
dog's back above the flank, to make
the dog sit.

the dog demonstrates a grasp of the
concepts of these commands while on a
leash, training with collar stimulations can
be introduced, while keeping the dog on
the leash.

can begin training with the collar and the
leash.
During the initial stage of collar
introduction, the dog learns that collar
stimulation means the same thing as a
tug on the leash. At first, the dog may be
alarmed by the electronic stimulation. The
key is to be patient and consistent and to
not start off at too high of an intensity. Be
fair and consistent, use repetition and
praise when using the collar as a training
tool.
If the dog does not respond to the
stimulation level you have selected
(page 22), increase the stimulation one
level at a time until you achieve the
appropriate response. Once you achieve
the desired response, you can lower the
stimulation level as long as the dog
maintains consistency.
As the dog becomes more responsive to
the training, you should begin to stimulate
intermittently, giving the dog a "freebie."
This will help keep the dog's attitude
upbeat, and let you know that the dog is
responding to the command rather than
just the collar. As the dog becomes more
proficient with the commands, you can

Teaching your dog to come here is the

situation. This command must be taught
properly.

simulation is 1, and the levels increase
sequentially to 18.
The second style, Traditional, contains 6
numbered levels that each have a high
(Hi), medium (Med), and low (Lo) setting.
Level 1 Lo is going to produce a very
slight stimulation that is hardly perceived.
Level 6 on Hi produces a very strong
stimulation. You should find the correct
training intensity level and then use Lo,
Med, Hi levels as needed for the
situation.
The Alpha system uses momentary (M)
and continuous (C) types of stimulations.
Momentary applies a brief stimulation
when you press the key, regardless of
how long the key is depressed.
Continuous applies stimulation to the dog
the entire time you press the key, for a
maximum of 8 seconds. Your stimulations
should typically be far shorter than 8
seconds. Continuous can be helpful when
first beginning training with your dog.
You can also train using a tone (T). When
you select T for a key, the key press
activates an audible tone instead of
stimulation. Using the tone can be a
helpful training tool.

begin to introduce distractions, such as
rolling a ball in front of the dog or walking
him in the presence of others.
After the dog begins to respond
consistently to the command during collar
training, typically after about 5 or 6
training sessions using the collar, you can
remove the leash and train with just the
collar. Eventually in most training
circumstances, your commands will not
require stimulation when given with the
command. You should only use
stimulation when you need to repeat a
command because the dog did not obey
the first one.
As the dog becomes better trained, you
should decrease the use of collar training.
Continue to have the dog wear the collar
until you feel certain that it is no longer
needed to reinforce known commands.
Abandoning the collar too early can lead
to problems in the future.

Teaching the Dog to Heel and Sit with
the Collar
Before you begin training your dog using
the collar, your dog must show a grasp of
the "heel," "sit," and "come" while on the
leash, you must put on the collar
(page 10), and you must find the correct
intensity level (page 22).
When beginning collar training, start with
the "heel" and "sit" commands.
1 With the dog at your side on a leash,
pull up on the leash, and command
the dog to "sit," and also press a
training key briefly.
After the dog begins associating the
collar stimulation with the command,
move on to the "heel" command.
Many dogs indicate that it is time to
make this transition by trying to sit
before being commanded, in an effort
to avoid the stimulation associated
with the command.
2 With the dog at your side on a leash
and with the collar on, command
“heel” and begin walking forward while
gently pulling on the leash.
AF
Choosing the Correct Intensity Level
1 Set the training keys to the lowest
level (page 17).
2 Press a training key.
3 Observe the dog for a reaction, such
as a head shake, neck movement, or
just a change in expression.
Sometimes dogs will vocalize due to
the surprise of the electrical
stimulation. If the dog vocalizes more
than once, the intensity level is too
high for beginning training.
4 If there is no reaction, increase the
intensity level by one level until the
dog has a slight but discernible
reaction to the stimulation.
The intensity level that causes a slight but
discernible reaction is your dog's baseline
level for beginning collar training. You do
not need to, and should not, apply this
intensity selection test again.
After you begin training, the dog’s
performance guides your intensity
selection. As the dog advances in
training, you may need to change the
level depending upon circumstances.
