Tri-Tronics G2 Basic Training - Manual (Page 14)

Repetition is necessary for your dog to learn. He learns by association,
and needs repetition to identify what to associate with what.
Concentrate on teaching your dog one thing at a time. He can’t make
the associations he needs if the lessons are too complicated for him.
As your dog advances, have play time as part of the training session.
Use play within a training session to keep your dog enthusiastic as his skills
progress. Both you and your dog should always look forward to training.
You might need a higher level of intensity when reinforcing
commands around distractions. This is normal for most dogs. After your
dog has been properly introduced to the Remote Trainer, don’t be afraid to
increase the intensity somewhat to help your dog learn that he must obey
your commands even when he’s distracted.
Keep your dog in "behavioral balance." Some commands call for the
dog to move somewhere—like “Come.” Other commands call for him to
remain stationary—like “Sit.” A dog that has become good at obeying one
type of command with the Remote Trainer will tend to offer the same
behavior even when given the opposite type of command. He isn’t “being
bad” when doing this, he’s actually trying hard to do what you want. Follow
a step-by-step program to teach him to obey both motion and stationary
commands when you use your Remote Trainer.
Keep your dog’s lessons short, and break lessons down into small
sub-tasks. Dogs learn in very small steps, and they have short attention
spans for formal training.
Be sure your dog can be successful in training. Dogs learn from their
earlier successes. Sometimes you have to simplify things more than you
thought you would before your dog can understand a lesson and be successful.
Any time your dog seems confused, simplify the task and help the dog.
Be consistent. Be consistent in your training and in the standards you set
for your dog’s work.
