TIP: For bark correction, the device contact points should be

positioned near the dog's vocal cords. This location varies

based on the breed of dog. If the device does not seem to

detect the dog's barks, you should move the device closer to

or farther from the dog's body to find the ideal location.

Tighten the strap so that it is very snug around the dog's

neck, and fasten the buckle.

NOTE: The collar should fit tightly and should not be able to

rotate or slide on the dog's neck. The dog must be able to

swallow food and water normally. You should observe your

dog's behavior to verify that the collar is not too tight.

Training Modes

The Delta system provides several training modes, which assign different combinations of momentary stimulation, continuous

stimulation, tone, and vibration to the training keys

key functions, from top to bottom. Training keys that activate a stimulation are designated as high or low.

Choosing the Correct Intensity Level

Set the intensity to the lowest level

Press a training key.

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.

If there is no reaction, increase the intensity level by one

level until the dog has a slight but recognizable reaction to

the stimulation.

The intensity level that causes a slight but recognizable 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 the training situation.

Wiggle the device to work the contact points through the

dog's coat.

NOTE: The contact points must have contact with the dog's

skin to be effective.

If the strap is too long, cut off the excess, leaving at least

3 in. (8 cm) to spare.

TIP: You can mark the hole used to fasten the buckle for

future reference.

Training Intensities and Methods

The Delta system uses momentary (M) and continuous (C)

stimulation. Momentary stimulation applies a brief stimulation

when you press the training key, regardless of how long the key

is depressed. Continuous stimulation applies stimulation to the

dog the entire time you press the training key, for a maximum of

8 seconds. Your stimulations should typically be much shorter

than 8 seconds.

The Delta system provides 18 stimulation intensity levels, which

increase sequentially from 1 to 18.

You can also train using a tone (T) or vibration (V). When a key

is set for tone, the key press activates an audible tone instead

of stimulation. A tone can be used as either a positive or

negative training cue, depending on your training program.

When a key is set for vibration, the key press activates a short

vibration instead of stimulation. The effectiveness vibration may

vary based on the dog's temperament and experience.

Basic Training Commands

You should begin training your dog with a few basic commands

without using the Delta training system to correct the dog. You

should train the three basic commands in the following order:

"heel," "sit," and "here."

During initial training, you should put the dog collar device on

the dog, but the device should be turned off. This allows the dog

to get used to the device before you start using it to correct the

dog. This also helps to prevent "collar-wise" behavior

(page

4).

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 after
