5. If your pet ignores the stimulation, increase the Intensity Level by 1.

Chasing
Chasing is an instinctive behavior stimulated by moving objects. Some dogs have a particularly
strong desire to chase that can put them in harm’s way and leave you helpless. Never allow your
dog off the leash or out of a contained area until he has learned the “Come” command, regardless
of the distraction. Be consistent and correct your dog every time he chases something.
It is vitally important that you and your dog remain safe while learning during
on-leash training. Your dog should be on a strong leash, long enough for him
to attempt to chase an object, but short enough for him not to reach a road or
other unsafe area. You must also be physically strong enough to restrain your
dog when he tries to chase.
1. If your dog has not learned the “Come” command, keep a leash on him so you can physically
stop him before he reaches the object he is chasing.
2. Choose the Intensity Level 1 higher than your dog’s Recognition Level.
3. 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).
4. 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 Stimulation Only Button
until he stops
5. When your dog stops chasing the object, immediately release the button, walk backwards
and give the command “Come.” Praise your dog as he comes to you.
6. Repeat the process until your dog stops chasing the object.
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. Choose the Intensity Level 1 higher than your
pet’s Recognition Level.
2. Pick a temptation for your pet and position
yourself where he cannot see you.
3. While your pet’s mouth is touching the
temptation, press and hold the Stimulation Only
Button. Immediately release the button when
your pet leaves the temptation.
4. Do not say anything, as you want your pet to associate the stimulation with his behavior, not you.
5. If your pet does not respond to the stimulation, increase the Intensity Level by 1 and repeat
the process.
6. Repeat this process in several different locations with different temptations.
