3 Tighten the strap so that it is 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.
4 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.
5 If the strap is too long, cut off the excess, leaving at least 7.62 cm (3 in.) to spare.
TIP: You can mark the hole used to fasten the buckle for future reference.
Dog Tracking and Training
One navigator can track multiple dog collar devices and other navigators.
Dog Tracking
The navigator allows you to track your dog or multiple dogs, using the tracking compass or map. The map
displays your location and your dog's location and tracks. The compass pointer indicates the direction of the
dog's current location.
Dog Training
NOTICE
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.
