PHASE 2 -- Active Training -- DAY 4-7
(2-3 training sessions per day: each 10-15 minutes long)
1.
Set the correction level to
Static Level 1
(see Page 12)
2.
To ensure the system is working properly, take the Havahart
®
Collar to the Trigger Zone and use the
Heart-Shaped Collar Tester (see Page14). The Heart-Shaped Collar Tester should light up.
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 and then receive a static correction within the Trigger Zone.
7.
Allow your dog to stay in the Trigger Zone for a few seconds while
hearing the tone and receiving the static correction.
8.
Gently shake a Training Flag to remind your dog that the flags are associated with the tone and static
correction coming from the Collar.
9.
Lead your dog back into the Roaming Area and praise your dog.
10.
Repeat this process at a few Training Flags.
CAUTION:
Do not force your dog to receive
too many static corrections
as this may make your dog
nervous or anxious. It may be necessary to decrease the speed of the training schedule or add more
training days if your dog seems to be under stress.
11.
If your dog does not respond to the static correction, check to make sure that the Havahart
®
Collar fits
properly (see Page 18). If your dog continues to not respond to the static correction, you may need to
increase the static correction to level 2 or higher as necessary.
NOTE:
If your dog leaves the Roaming Area, he will be corrected on the way out only. Your dog will
NOT be corrected when returning to the Roaming Area from outside the Trigger Zone.
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 3 when your dog avoids going near any of the Training Flags.
