The “Come” Command
1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your
pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar,
and attach a 10-foot leash.
Note: Be sure
the extra collar does not put pressure on the
Contact Points.
2. Hold your leash in one hand and the
Remote Transmitter in the other.
3. Wait for your pet to walk away from you.
Using the Recognition Level for your pet,
press and hold the Stimulation Only Button
on your Remote Transmitter.
4. Immediately give the command “Come”
while continuing to hold the Stimulation
Only Button.
5. Using the leash, gently guide your pet toward
you until he begins to come in your direction.
6. Immediately release the Stimulation Only
Button as soon as your pet steps towards
you, and praise him enthusiastically.
7. Quickly move backwards as your pet begins to
come back to you, praising him the entire time.
8. Praise your pet when he returns to you.
9. Repeat Steps 3 through 8.
10. Once your pet responds readily to the
“Come” command several times, back
away from him without giving a command.
When your pet turns toward you, give
the command “Come” (WITHOUT
STIMULATION) and praise him while you
continue to back up. Praise your pet when
he returns to you.
11. Use your leash to prevent your pet from
running past you. If your pet manages to
run past you, repeat Steps 3 through 8.
The “Stay” Command
1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar, and attach
a 10-foot leash.
Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
2. Put your pet on his bed. Hold your leash in one hand and the Remote Transmitter in the other.
3. Staying within 3 feet, walk the perimeter of the bed. Do not say anything to your pet.
4. If your pet tries to leave the bed, press and hold the Stimulation Only Button and give the
“Stay” command. Continue to hold the button until your pet is back on his bed. If necessary,
use the leash to guide your pet onto his place.
5. Praise your pet when he is back on his bed.
6. Once your pet has settled for a few seconds, release him and play calmly.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 5.
Eliminating Unwanted Behavior
Jumping Up
Pets typically jump up to get attention. If you do not want your pet to jump on you, then friends
or members of the family should not encourage this behavior. That means every time your pet
jumps on someone, he should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable
behavior, for which he can receive praise.
Note: It is best if your pet first understands the “Sit” command.
1. Choose your pet’s Recognition Level.
2. As soon as your pet lifts his paws off the
ground to jump on you, press the Stimulation
Only Button and give the command “Sit.”
3. Release the Stimulation Only Button
immediately once your pet is sitting, and
verbally praise him.
4. If your pet ignores the stimulation, increase
the Intensity Level by 1.
5. Practice this exercise in several different areas
and use different people for distractions.
Digging
It is important to first understand why your pet is digging. Many dogs, such as terriers, were
bred to flush out prey, and digging is very innate to them. Other dogs may be digging to find a
cool spot to lie down, or simply out of boredom. Your pet may no longer have the desire to dig
if he is provided with the following:
• A cool, shaded area in which to lie down, and plenty of water.
• An alternate activity, such as a favorite toy.
• Plenty of play, exercise, and attention.
• A yard free from rodents or prey that he may be trying to flush out.
1. Choose the Intensity Level 1 higher than your pet’s Recognition Level.
2. Place the Receiver Collar on your pet and wait at least 10 minutes before placing him in the yard.
No other people or pets should be in the yard, as you do not want your pet to associate the
stimulation with anything other than his digging. Your pet must be securely fenced in or contained
during training.
3. From a window or area where your pet cannot see you, wait until your pet begins to dig.
4. While your pet digs, press the Stimulation Only Button and release it when he stops digging.
Only press the button while your pet is in the act of digging, and do not say anything to him.
