•
Use consistent commands. If you growl a NO always use a NO, don't change to a
different command word.
•
Don't use food treats for
every
reward; use verbal praise more often.
•
Never train after a dog has just eaten. Food treats work better if somewhat hungry.
•
If you have more than one dog, perform the training individually and remove other
dogs from the training area.
•
Think about
what might be motivating your dog’s
unwanted behaviour and try to
remove this temptation. For example, if your dog is visiting a neighbour for food or
company then tell your neighbour that you have installed an electronic containment
system. Explain that feeding or otherwise paying attention to your dog becomes a
reward that might encourage further escapes.
How to Take Your Dog Across the Boundary
If you want to take your dog for a walk during the two-day training period,
DO NOT
allow
your dog to walk across the boundary. This would appear different to your pattern of
training and could confuse your dog and reduce the effectiveness of the training. Instead,
remove the collar and leave your property by car. You only need to do this during training.
After the two-day training, you should start to set up a pattern of behaviour for going
walks. 1/ Show your dog the lead. 2/ In an upbeat tone tell your dog it is time for going
walks "GOING WALKS". 3/ Attach the lead to your dog's usual collar. 4/ Remove the Radio
Collar. 5/ Show your dog the Radio Collar and again in an upbeat tone say "GOING WALKS".
6/ Cross the boundary at the same spot every time you leave for walks and always on the
lead. NEVER allow your dog to cross the boundary while off the lead. 7/ Follow the reverse
procedure on the return and ensure other family members follow this routine.
