Training Your Dog
PHASE 1 -- Passive Training -- DAY 1-3
(2-3 training sessions per day: each 10-15 minutes long)
1.
Turn ON the fence
(see Page 16) and set the correction level to
Tone Only
(see Page 12).
2.
To ensure that the system is working properly, take the Havahart
®
Collar by itself out to the Trigger Zone and listen for the tone.
3.
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.
4.
Using the leash, walk your dog around inside the Roaming Area for
5 minutes, avoiding contact with the Trigger Zone.
5.
Calmly approach the Trigger Zone flag line -- do not look at your dog.
6.
Give your dog the opportunity to pass into the Trigger Zone. He will hear a tone within the Trigger Zone.
7.
Allow your dog to stay in the Trigger Zone for a few seconds while hearing the tone.
8.
Gently shake a Training Flag while saying “Bad Flags” in a firm, disapproving tone to show your dog
that the flags are associated with the tone coming from the Havahart
®
Collar. Do not yell or
frighten your dog.
9.
Lead your dog back into the Roaming Area and praise your dog.
10.
Repeat this process at several different Training Flags.
11.
As training progresses over the next 2 days, you should notice that when your dog hears the tone, he
will return to the Roaming Area without your prompting.
12.
End with lots of playtime and praise for your dog in the Roaming Area at least 10 feet away from
the Training Flags.
13.
Be sure to remove the Havahart
®
Collar from your dog after each training session.
NOTE:
You may proceed to PHASE 2 when your dog avoids going near the Training Flags
when you approach and actually turns to go back to the Roaming Area without your aid.
