Garmin Delta Upland Owner's Manual
In order to properly correct the dog, the collar and device must
fit the dog properly. If the collar is too loose or positioned
incorrectly, corrections may be inconsistent. This can delay or
prevent successful training.
1
Place the collar around the middle of the dog's neck.
2
Position the device at the front of the dog's neck, with the
status LED facing toward the dog's chin and the contact
points against the throat.
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.
3
Position the Beeper device at the back of the dog's neck.
4
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 Upland system provides several training modes, which assign different combinations of momentary stimulation,
continuous stimulation, tone, vibration, and remote Beeper functionality to the training keys
three vertical letters on the LCD display correspond to the training key functions, from top to bottom. Training keys that activate a
stimulation are designated as high or low.

5
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 Upland 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 Upland 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.
(Training Intensities and
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 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.
