Eliminating Unwanted Behaviour
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 behaviour. That means every time your
pet jumps on someone, he should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable
behaviour, for which he can receive praise.
Note: It is best if your pet fi rst understands the “Sit” command.
1. Choose the Intensity Level one step higher than
your pet’s Recognition Level.
2. As soon as your pet lifts his paws off the
ground to jump on you, press and hold the
Upper Button to send an Audible Tone and
Stimulation and give the command “Sit.”
3. Release the Upper Button immediately once
your pet is sitting, and verbally praise him.
4. If your pet ignores the Stimulation, press and
hold the Lower Button to send a higher level of
Stimulation.
Note: This function only applies if the
Remote Transmitter is programmed in Mode 1.
5. Practice this exercise in several different areas
and use different people for distractions.

Digging
It is important to fi rst understand why your pet is digging. Many dogs, such as terriers, were bred
to fl ush out prey, and digging is very innate to them. Other pets may be digging to fi nd 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 garden free from rodents or prey that he may be trying to fl ush out.
1. Choose the Intensity Level one step 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
garden. No other people or pets should be in the garden, 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 and hold the Upper Button to send an Audible Tone and Stimulation.
Release the button immediately when he stops digging.
5. If your pet ignores the Stimulation, press and hold the Lower Button to send a higher level of
Stimulation.
Note: This function only applies if the Remote Transmitter is programmed in Mode 1.
6. Continue to watch your pet, as he may choose another area to dig.
7. Do not allow your pet in the garden unsupervised until he has completely stopped digging.
