B.The Schedule
The six dog-training lessons take place over the
course of about 4 weeks. For total success it is
necessary to complete the entire course.
Practice sessions are 10-15 minutes each, 2
times per day. Short, fun sessions are more effec-
tive. Anything longer will cause your dog to men-
tally tire.
Lesson 1: The Retreat Pattern - 6 Sessions.
Lesson 2: The Stimulation - 1 Session.
Lesson 3: Distractions - 7-8 Sessions.
Lesson 4: Off Lead, Supervised - 1 Week
Lesson 5: Off Lead, Unsupervised - 2 Weeks
Lesson 6: Flag Remo val - Every other day until
gone.
Use the calendar only as a guideline. Your dog's
behavior tells you when to move to the next les-
son.
C.Rules and Routine
The rules and routine of the typical training ses-
sion include putting the collar receiver and lead
on your dog making sure the collar receiver is
high on your dog's neck and snug with the probes
touching the skin.
Start every session with play and praise. Make
sure the dog is comfortable--have fun! Laugh! and
praise him.
Most importantly, review the previous day's les-
son to see if your dog is learning on schedule. Do
not proceed to the next step until your dog under-
stands what is expected. Do boundary work at
locations all around the property. End the session
with relaxing play.
Bring your dog indoors and remove both the train-
ing collar and the collar receiver. If you're training
more than one dog, train each dog at separate
training sessions.
D. Training Lessons
Lesson 1: The Retreat Pattern
Before you start to train, make sure the collar
receiver is functioning and the battery has ade-
quate power. Remove the standard probes and
install the black plastic probes. The black plastic
probes ensure that your dog does not receive a
stimulation until he learns to retreat from the
boundary.
Put the collar receiver on your dog.Make sure the
wall transmitter is turned on.
Lesson 1- Day 1. The goal for Day 1 is to intro-
duce your dog to the boundary and to help him
understand he should retreat when he hears the
warning sound. Depending on the lead there are
several ways to do this.
Using a 6-foot lead, casually walk your dog to the
boundary. When the dog reaches the containment
field let go of the slack in your left hand, immedi-
ately spin to your right, and instantly grasp the
lead under your right hand and retreat. Your dog
will continue forward and then feel the tug. As he
runs back towards you, praise him.
Using a retractable or 15-foot lead, casually walk
your dog toward the boundary.Your dog may indi-
cate he hears the warning sound by tilting his
head or twitching his ears. The instant the dog
hears the warning sound, give a tug on the lead
and bring him back.
On a retractable lead, press the brake. This will
redirect the dog back into the safe area.Have fun
and praise him.
On days two and three repeat the lesson of Day
1.
As the training sessions progress through the
three days of lesson one, you'll see that your dog
will begin to anticipate the signal and retreat with-
out prompts.
Day three is successful if your dog retreats with
no prompt from you or he refuses to approach the
boundaries. Remember to praise, praise, praise
proper behavior.
Lesson 2: The Stimulation
A dog may be tempted to break the rules. To pre-
vent this, he must understand that there are con-
sequences for inappropriate behavior. When your
dog retreats from the boundaries on his own or
