General Examples of Behavior Training
The following examples offer general approaches for using the remote trainer to
address specific behaviors. Remember, consistency and timing are important!
•
Barking is a natural part of dog behavior and dogs should be allowed to bark
as a normal part of what they do. Use the BigLeash trainer only to correct
barking that is excessive or overly aggressive.
•
Use a “quiet” or “no barking” command backed up with a training signal
from your remote trainer.
•
Dogs dig for many reasons; they may be looking for a cool place to lie down
or they may just be bored.
•
To train your dog that digging in certain areas is not acceptable, send a
training signal the moment he starts to dig.
•
The most common chasing behavior is chasing cars.
•
Care must be taken when teaching your dog not to chase cars. Be sure that
when you send a training signal your dog is away from the moving vehicle.
•
Generally dogs are excited and distracted when they are chasing something.
Use of the Continuous signal (C button) and possibly an increased training
level may be necessary, especially in the early stages of training.
