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.

Changing the Intensity Level

You can select a different intensity level for each dog collar

device.

Select a dog collar device (Selecting a Dog Collar Device).

Select or to increase or decrease the intensity level.

The numerical intensity level appears on the LCD display.

TIP: You can hold or to cycle through intensity levels

quickly.

Basic Training Commands

You should begin training your dog with a few basic commands

without using the Delta XC 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

(Preventing Collar-Wise Behavior).

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

several lessons. Each dog learns at a different rate, and some

dogs may take longer to learn these commands. After the dog

demonstrates a basic understanding of these commands while

on a leash, training with collar stimulations can be introduced,

while keeping the dog on the leash.

Training to Heel

Before you begin training, put a leash on the dog, and select an

area with minimal distractions.

The first command that you will teach the dog is the “heel”

command.

With the dog at your side on a leash, command the dog to

“heel,” and begin walking forward while gently pulling on the

leash.

If the dog gets in front of you, repeat the command “heel,”

and move in another direction or pull back on the leash.

If the dog starts to lag behind you, lightly tug on the leash to

bring the dog back to your side.

Reward the dog with praise when the dog obeys the command.

Training to Sit and Stay

Before you begin training, put a leash on the dog, and select an

area with minimal distractions. Before you train to sit and stay,

you should first train to heel.

The actual command is “sit,” and the “stay” command is implied.

When you command the dog to sit, the dog should stay until you

indicate otherwise.

Begin training this command walking the dog on a leash in

the heel position.

Stop walking, pull up on the leash, and command the dog to

"sit."

Maintain steady pressure on the leash until the dog obeys the

command.

If the dog does not obey and seems confused, gently push

down on the dog's back above the flank, to make the dog sit.

Reward the dog with praise when the dog sits and stays.

Training to Come Here

Before you begin training, put a leash on the dog, and select an

area with minimal distractions. Before you begin training the dog

to come "here," you should first train the dog to "heel" and "sit."

Also, you may need to use a long leash to effectively train

"here."

Teaching your dog to come here is the most important

command. The "here" command allows you to maintain control

of your dog and can be used to call your dog away from a

potentially dangerous situation. This command must be taught

properly.

With the dog in a sitting position, move away to the end of the

leash.

Command the dog to come “here” while gently tugging on the

leash.

Reward the dog with praise as soon as the dog begins to

move toward you.

If the dog begins to veer away, gently tug on the leash, and

repeat the command to come "here."

The dog might resist this command. With repetition and

patience, the dog will learn to obey the command.

Collar Training

Begin training your dog on a leash, without using the Delta XC

training system. After the dog shows a grasp of the commands

"heel," "sit," and "here," you can begin training with the collar

and the leash.

During the initial stage of collar introduction, the dog learns that

collar stimulation means the same thing as a tug on the leash.

At first, the dog may be alarmed by the electronic stimulation.

The key is to be patient and consistent and not to start off at too

high of an intensity. Be fair and consistent, and use repetition

and praise when using the collar as a training tool.

If the dog does not respond to the stimulation level you have

selected (Choosing the Correct Intensity Level), increase the

stimulation one level at a time until you achieve the appropriate

response. After you achieve the desired response, you can

lower the stimulation level as long as the dog maintains

consistency.

As the dog becomes more proficient with the commands, you

can begin to introduce distractions, such as rolling a ball in front

of the dog or walking him in the presence of others.

After the dog begins to respond consistently to the command

during collar training, you can remove the leash and train with

just the collar.

NOTE: You should train without a leash only when it is

appropriate for your environment and your dog's temperament.

You should follow all laws and regulations for your area

regarding the use of dog leashes.

Eventually in most training situations, your commands will not

require stimulation to be given with the command. You should

only use stimulation when you need to repeat a command

because the dog did not obey the first one.

As the dog becomes better trained, you can decrease the use of

collar training. Continue to have the dog wear the collar until you

feel certain that it is no longer needed to reinforce known

commands. Abandoning the collar too early can lead to

problems in the future.

Preventing Collar-Wise Behavior

If the Delta XC training system is not used properly as part of

your overall training program, the dog may exhibit "collar-wise"
