1. Put the receiver collar on your dog at least 20 minutes before going
outside.
2. Clip on the green DogWatch training leash and take your dog outside and
play a few minutes in the Safety Zone.
3. Walk around the Safety Zone and have an assistant (friend or family
member) appear outside the Safety Zone at least 10 to 15 feet back from
the flags. Walk past your assistant without speaking, but remain in the
Safety Zone.
4. If your dog approaches your assistant and enters the Avoidance Zone,
allow your dog to receive a correction. Say, “Watch out!” and tug him
back into the Safety Zone.
5. Let your assistant leave, walk your dog around the
perimeter again, and let your assistant appear again.
Your assistant can call out the dog’s name, but do
not allow your assistant to ask the dog to “Come”.
6. If your dog attempts to go over to your assistant,
reinforce the flags and say, “No!” Repeat the
exercise for no more than a total of 20 minutes.
7. If your dog makes no attempt to go over to your
assistant, reinforce the flags, end the exercise
and praise your dog in the Safety Zone.
8. Repeat the exercise for 2 to 5 days.
Then move to Phase 4.
1. Put the collar on your dog at least 20 minutes before going outside to
train.
2. Clip on the green DogWatch training leash to
your dog’s regular collar and take him outside.
Play a few minutes in the Safety Zone.
3. Reinforce the flags.
4. Introduce “real life” distractions to your dog.
Have a friend drop by or start training when the
letter carrier or school bus is scheduled. Take
extra care if you use a vehicle as a distraction.
5. Keep the dog on the leash when you first introduce
the distraction. If your dog attempts to run past the
flags and receives a correction, he should retreat to
the Safety Zone. Praise and play with your dog.
