Phase 4
Proofing Phase
off leash training
(when ready)
You must supervise your dog for the
first three to six days off leash. Bring
your dog outside without his leash and
allow him to run and play.
Do this
for 10 to 15 minutes a session,
two to three times a day.
Again,
begin with the distractions, starting
with light distractions and increase
the intensity as you go. After a few
days of this you will start to feel
confident that your dog will not leave
the property. Do not be concerned
if your dog stays close to the house
at first; this is normal. It may take a
couple of days for your dog to become
acclimated to your Dog Guard system.
If your dog leaves the property
more than once call your dealer
immediately!
Note:
• If during the Proofing Phase, your pet is showing signs that he does not understand his
boundaries, you may allow him to get corrected. However, he should receive no more than
three corrections per day..
• If, by the end of week one, your pet is still entering the signal field, please call your dealer!
Your pet must understand that he will never be able to get to the flags without a correction.
