So how does it work, they give one tone for the correct behavior, and a different one for improper behavior?[/QUOTE]

The tone is basically just an interruption in the dogs thought process. (the same tone is used for everything) The idea is to distract them away from what they are doing and then PRAISE,PRAISE,PRAISE when you get the desired behavior. Example: Teaching come:
1. "Lexie, Come" (no dog master sound) if she even glances up or her ears perk up, praise! "Good dog, good dog!"
If she doesn't come.....

2."Lexie ,Come" (click the dog master in your hand as you say come) again, praise for ANY response!!

If she still doesn't come...

3."Lexie, Come" (no dog master sound) if she even glances up or her ears perk up, praise! "Good dog, good dog!"

If she still isn't coming..

4. "Lexie, Come" and toss the dog master at her feet (not throwing it at her- just NEAR her) The timing of this is absolutely CRITICAL- you must have the instrument land just as you are saying "come"

The vast majority of dogs will come by this point. Then you move and do it again... and again.... until they automatically follow you.

The dog master can also interrupt unwanted behavior by distracting them. If they are barking at the door, you DO NOT SAY NO (as I have done a million times) You click the dog master in your hand , praise them if you get ANY response. If they continue barking you toss it near them and again praise when they stop. I have 4 of these instruments and right now I sometimes have to use a few of them to achieve the desired response.(if I toss one and the barking doesn't stop, then I start over with the sequence)

It is amazing how quickly they learn. Lexie actually cowers when she hears the sound. So it absolutely makes an impression on them. She now realizes I am the one in charge NOT her!! I hope I have explained it clearly enough for you to get an idea. Let me know if you have questions!
