Digging; Chasing - Petsafe BDT-433 Manuel D'utilisation

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 Stimulation 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
Stimulation Level.
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.

Chasing

Chasing is an instinctive behaviour 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 lead 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.
1. It is vitally important that you and your dog remain safe while carrying out this training. Your
dog should be on a strong lead, 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.
2. Choose the Stimulation Level one step higher than your dog's Recognition Level.
