6. If your dog retreats to the Safety Zone, drop the leash (but keep it within
reach) and reintroduce the distraction. Praise and Play.
7. If your dog is afraid to move, pull him back into the Safety Zone. Continue
to train with distractions for 2-5 days.
Remember: Play and praise at the end of each training session.
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 and play a few minutes in the Safety Zone. Remove the
training leash and let him run freely in the yard. Shake the flags to reinforce
where his boundary is.
3. Important: Your dog will expand his comfort level over a period of time. Your
dog should remain about 6 feet away from the flags when he is first let off
the leash. Gradually your dog’s safety zone will increase to his individual
level of comfort. Remove the flags, every other one, every other day.
What To Expect Off The Leash
1. Your dog will run toward the flags, see them and stop.
2. Your dog will run into the system, hear the “beep” warning and retreat.
3. Your dog will run into the system, hear the “beep” warning, receive a
correction, and retreat.
4. In rare cases, your dog will run through the boundary.
- Retrieve the dog. Take off the collar and walk him back into the yard.
- Bring the dog into the house and call your DogWatch Dealer. Additional
flag training or an increase in correction level is necessary. Your DogWatch
Dealer will instruct you over the phone or meet with you and your dog for
additional training. Important: Do not punish the dog verbally for making
errors. He’s still learning!
Your Dealer will recommend when it is time to take your dog across the
boundary for a walk. It is important to be consistent when taking your dog for
a walk. Be sure to use your dog’s regular collar and leash and go to and from
your walk using the same “exit” area. You can also pick up a small dog and
carry him over the flagged boundary during the first weeks of training.
