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.
1Select 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.
2If necessary, use the included wrench to remove the contact points.
3Twist the contact points into the collar.
4Tighten with the included wrench, but do not overtighten.
When you put the collar on the dog, make sure that the contact points are tight against the neck (page 4).
Removing the Contact Points
When you are not training the dog using the training keys, remove the contact points.
1Use the included wrench to remove both contact points.
2 Place the cap over the contact point holes.
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 (page 3).
By default, the training keys are set to the lowest stimulation setting, with momentary (M), continuous (C), and tone (T) 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
(page 6).
1Select Setup > Training > Training Buttons.
2Select the area at the top of the screen directly below the keys.
3Select the intensity level for the keys.
4If you are using traditional stimulation mode, select LOW, MED, or HI.
5Select 
.
In this mode, the left key provides momentary simulation. The center key provides continuous stimulations. The right key provides a tone.
Customizing the Training Keys
Before you can assign the training keys to a dog, you must add a dog to the handheld device (page 3).
You can change the mode of the training keys to customize each key for a specific stimulation intensity level and for each dog. This mode is most useful when training multiple dogs. When training only one dog, it might be more useful to set only the intensity level (page 6).
1Select Setup > Training > Training Buttons > Change Mode.
2Select the top of the screen directly under the key you are customizing.
3Select the dog you want to train with this key.
4 Select an intensity level for the key.
5If you are using traditional stimulation mode, select LOW, MED, or HI.
6Select momentary (M), continuous (C), or tone (T).

Basic Training Commands
You should begin training your dog with a few basic commands without using the Alpha 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
(page 7).
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.
