Training Your Dog
PHASE 5 --
Dog Monitoring -- DAY 16 AND BEYOND
Start with short sessions and gradually increase duration
1.
Your dog should now be comfortable within the Roaming Area and reluctant to cross the Trigger Zone
with or without distractions.
2.
Fit the Havahart
®
Collar around your dog’s neck. Place a different non-metal Collar above the
Havahart
®
Collar.
3.
Allow your dog to roam freely off leash and unsupervised within the Roaming Area.
4.
Keep an eye on him from inside your house.
5.
End with lots of playtime and praise for your dog in the Roaming Area at least 10 feet away from the
Training
Flags.
6.
Be sure to remove the Havahart
®
Collar from your dog after each training session.
Leaving the Roaming Area with Your Dog
Once your dog becomes accustomed to the Trigger Zone, he may become uncomfortable leaving the
Roaming Area for activities such as walks or riding in the car. If you need to take your dog out of the Roaming
Area, ALWAYS remove the Havahart
®
Collar and use one of the following methods.
1.
Walk your dog outside of the Roaming Area while on a leash. Cross the same area of the Trigger Zone
flag line each time, giving a command such as “CROSS”, and praising your dog for crossing this specific
area. Always leave this area with your dog on a leash.
2.
Carry your dog out.
3.
Take your dog out in a car.
NOTE:
After completing the training and three additional weeks of successful dog
containment, you can begin to gradually remove the Training Flags by taking away every
other flag, every few days.
