Training Your Dog
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 Page 15). 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 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, where he will hear a short tone and then receive
a static correction.
7.
Allow your dog to stay in the Trigger Zone for a few seconds while receiving the static correction.
8.
Gently shake a Training Flag to remind your dog that the flags are associated with the short 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.
11.
If your dog does not respond to the static correction, check to make sure that the Havahart
®
Collar fits
properly (see Page 17). 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.
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.
14.
You may proceed to PHASE 3 when your dog avoids going near any of the Training Flags.
!
IMPORTANT MESSAGE
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.
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.
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 15) 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 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, where he will hear a tone.
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.
14.
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.
