Training Your Dog
PHASE 4 --
Off-Leash Supervision -- DAY 12-15
Begin with short training sessions 10-15 minutes in length and gradually increase the sessions to an hour or more
1.
Do not leave your dog unattended during this phase of training.
2.
Fit the Havahart Collar around your dog’s neck. Place a different
non-metal collar above the Havahart
®
Collar.
3.
Walk around inside the Roaming Area and play with your dog while
off the leash.
4.
Now focus your attention elsewhere and walk to another part of the
yard while keeping an eye on your dog.
5.
If your dog crosses into and goes beyond the Trigger Zone, lead him
back inside the Roaming Area. Your dog will not be corrected when
he comes back into the Roaming Area.
6.
Gently shake a flag to remind your dog that the flags are associated with
the short tone and static correction coming from the Havahart
®
Collar.
7.
Repeat the training from Phase 3 with distractions and a leash as
necessary.
8.
End with lots of playtime and praise for your dog in the Roaming Area
at least 10 feet away from the Training Flags.
9.
Be sure to remove the Havahart
®
Collar from your dog after each training session.
10.
You may proceed to PHASE 5 when your dog no longer goes beyond the Trigger Zone
—
even with distractions,
but will walk anywhere within the Roaming Area.
PHASE 3 -- On-Leash Distractions -- DAY 8-11
(2-3 training sessions per day: each 10-15 minutes long)
1.
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.
2.
Using the leash, walk your dog toward the Training Flags.
Create a distraction by:
1. Tossing a toy or treat outside the Trigger Zone.
2. Having someone walk by and not pay attention to your dog.
3. Having someone walk his/her own dog outside of the Trigger Zone.
3.
If your dog does not move toward the distraction, immediately praise him.
4.
If your dog moves toward the distraction, allow him to walk through the Trigger Zone and feel the correction.
5.
Gently shake a Training Flag to remind your dog that the flags are associated with the short tone and static
correction coming from the Havahart
®
Collar.
6.
Promptly lead your dog back to the Roaming Area if he does not return within a few seconds and praise him.
7.
Repeat this process at several different Training Flags.
8.
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 by one level or more as necessary.
9.
End with lots of playtime and praise for your dog in the Roaming Area at least 10 feet away from the
Training Flags.
10.
Be sure to remove the Havahart
®
Collar from your dog after each training session.
11.
You may proceed to PHASE 4 when your dog will not go beyond the Trigger Zone
—
even with distractions,
but will walk anywhere within the Roaming Area.
