Training Your Dog
PRELIMINARY PHASE -- Flag AwarenessTraining
- Optional
(2-3 training sessions per day: each 10-15 minutes long)
Completing this phase will add 3 days to your training, but will give your dog more time to get used to the
Training Flags if you choose to complete it.
1.
Turn OFF the fence
(see page 16)
2.
Fit the Havahart
®
Collar around your dog’s neck. Place a different
non-metal collar above the Havahart
®
Collar and attach a leash to it.
Make sure that this collar does not apply pressure to the Probes on
the
Havahart
®
Collar as this could hurt your dog when you pull on
the leash.
3.
Using the leash, walk your dog around inside the Roaming Area for
5 minutes, avoiding contact with the Trigger Zone.
4.
Approach one of the Training Flags with your dog. When your dog gets close to the flag, gently shake the
flag while saying “Bad Flags” in a firm, disapproving tone. Do not yell or frighten your dog.
5.
Lead your dog back into the Roaming Area and praise your dog.
6.
Repeat this process at several different Training Flags.
7.
End with lots of playtime and praise for your dog in the Roaming Area at least 10 feet away from the
Training
Flags.
8.
Be sure to remove the Havahart
®
Collar from your dog after each training session.
NOTE:
You may proceed to PHASE 1 when your dog avoids going near the Training Flags
but will walk anywhere within the Roaming Area.
