behavior. This occurs when the dog obeys commands while

wearing the dog collar device, but does not obey commands

when the device is removed. You should follow these tips to

prevent this behavior.

• Begin training the dog without using the Delta XC training

system to correct the dog

• Turn off the dog collar device and put it on the dog during

initial training.

This allows the dog to get used to the device before you start

using it to correct the dog.

• Turn off the dog collar device and put it on the dog outside of

your training sessions.

This allows the dog to get used to the device and helps to

prevent the dog from associating the presence of the device

with training or obedience.

• Reward the dog with praise whenever the dog obeys a

command.
