Chasing …continued from page 15
1. Set up a scenario where your dog is enticed to chase an object. Common items could be
cars, motorcycles, bicycles, etc. (do not use toys).
2. When the object passes in front of your dog, make sure to hold the leash with a firm grip.
As soon as your dog begins to chase the object, press and hold the Center or Lower Button
(Spray Stimulation) until he stops.
3. When your dog stops chasing the object, immediately release the button, walk backwards
and give the command “Recall.” Praise your dog as he comes to you.
4. Repeat the process until your dog responds consistently to the “Recall” command.
Trash Raiding
The easiest way to prevent trash raiding is to remove garbage
and tempting food from your pet’s environment. You can use
the Remote Trainer to teach your pet to stay away from these
items; however, you must be prepared to correct your pet every
time he approaches them.
1. Pick a temptation for your pet and position yourself where he
cannot see you.
2. While your pet’s mouth is touching the temptation, press
and hold the Center or Lower Button (Spray Stimulation).
Immediately release the button when your pet leaves the
temptation.
3. Do not say anything, as you want your pet to associate the
spray with his behavior, not you.
4. Repeat this process in several different locations with
different temptations.
