The "Here" Or "Come" Command; The "Sit" Command - Petsafe Remote Training Collar Manuel D'utilisation Et De Dressage

11. Always stop training before your dog becomes tired, usually 5 to 10 minute maximum with a
young dog.
12. Sit with your dog and be his friend for a few minutes and then put him away in his crate or a
"safe" room to remember the lesson, where he cannot misbehave.
This exercise is very effective at obtaining your dog's attention. If he becomes distracted, begins to
sniff or is not paying attention, change what you are doing, speed up and/or change direction. Tap
the collar as you change and he will keep an eye on you for these changes.

The "Here" or "Come" Command

This command builds on the "Come On" follow me command
1. Go through Preparation for Training.
2. Go through the "Come On", follow me routine for two or three minutes.
3. When your dog is turning nicely and following you, kneel down (depending upon the dog), or
back away slowly while facing him and then stop and praise as he comes toward you, giving the
command "Here". Guide him into your body with the lead.
4. If he does not come all the way, repeat "Here" and apply stimulation at the same time. Use the
lead to guide him in to you. Release the button the moment he obeys by moving towards you.
5. Praise each improvement in his performance. Look for small improvements and ways in which
you can guide him into the right action.
6. If he does come all the way in, a treat can be given.
7. The moment he is answering the collar and your command reliably tap the stimulation key
simultaneously with the verbal command.
8. Watch for concern and stress, and work through this gently. Be aware that at times you may
have to simply relax with the dog to let his learning brain cells come back into action.
9. Stop on a good note when he has done something well (short bursts of learning 5 to 10 minutes
are often the best). Do not let him go running off and do not take the e-collar or lead off.

treats so he understands the commands can be of great assistance with this command.
