A geofence is an invisible boundary around an area and is
created using points on the map. The virtual boundaries of a
geofence are accurate up to approximately 10 ft. (3 m).
Geofences perform best when sized to cover an area
encompassing an average sized backyard (approximately
¼ acre).

Setting a Geofence Alert

You can set up an invisible boundary around an area and

area.

Dog Training
You should research and investigate the training methods best
suited for you, your dog, and your needs. This manual provides
some basic guidelines for training, but each dog has unique
training needs.
When used properly, the Alpha training system is a very
effective training tool to aid your dog in reaching its full potential.
The use of the training system should be part of an overall
training program.
Begin training your dog on a leash, without the Alpha training
system. You should train your dog how to heel, sit, and come to
you. After the dog understands these three basic commands,
you can begin training with the dog collar device and the leash.
Finally, when the dog consistently obeys commands using the
leash and collar, you may be able to remove the leash to train
with only the dog collar device.
Selecting and Installing the Contact Points
For best results, select the correct contact points based on your
dog's coat.
1
Select the correct contact point length for your dog's coat
type:
• For dogs with thicker coats, use the longer contact points.
• For dogs with shorter coats, use the shorter contact
points.
2
If necessary, use the included wrench to remove the contact
points.
3
Twist the contact points into the collar.
4
Tighten with the included wrench, but do not overtighten.
6
When you put the collar on the dog, make sure the contact
points are tight against the neck.
Removing the Contact Points
When you are not training the dog using the training keys,
remove the contact points.

Linear and Traditional Stimulation
You can use linear or traditional stimulation to customize your
training experience. The default intensity method is linear, which
allows progressive stimulation from level 1 to level 18.
Traditional stimulation allows you to make quick changes using
low, medium, and high settings within predetermined stimulation
levels (1 through 6).

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.
Setting Up the Training Keys for One
Intensity Level
Before you can assign the training keys to a dog, you must add
the dog to the handheld device

By default, the training keys are set to the lowest stimulation
setting, with momentary (M), continuous (C), and tone (T) or
vibration (V) for each key. This mode is most useful when
training only one dog. When training multiple dogs, it may be
helpful to customize a training key for each dog and for each
intensity level

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.
