Location Alerts
Location alerts notify you when your dogs enter or exit a particular location. You can create a custom geofence
or use a radius around your current location.
A geofence is an invisible boundary around an area and is created using points on the map. The virtual
boundaries of a geofence are accurate up to approximately 3 m (10 ft.). Geofences perform best when sized to
cover an area encompassing an average sized backyard (approximately ¼ acre).
Setting Location Alerts
1 Select Location Alerts > Add Alert.
2 Select an option:
• To create a geofence alert, select Geofence, select a point for the first corner of the geofence, select Use,
and select additional points to define the geofence boundary.
You must select at least 3 points to create a geofence alert.
• To create a radius alert, select Radius, select the unit of measurement, and enter the radius distance.

Enabling Dog Data Broadcast
By default, the handheld device does not broadcast dog data to compatible devices. You can enable data
broadcasting to allow your data to be seen on other compatible devices. See the owner's manual for your
compatible device for more information.
Select
> System > Broadcast Dog Data.
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.
Training Methods
NOTE: Training features are not available in all areas for tracking collars.
Tone: Activates an audible tone the entire time you press the training button.
