Eliminating Unwanted Behavior

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 behavior. That means every time your pet
jumps on someone, he should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable
behavior, for which he can receive praise.
Note: It is best if your pet first 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
Tone B and Stimulation Button and give the
command "Sit."
3. Release the button immediately once your pet
is sitting, and verbally praise him.
4. If your pet ignores the stimulation, use a
higher level of stimulation.
5. Practice this exercise in several different areas
and use different people for distractions.
Digging
It is important to first understand why your pet is digging. Many dogs, such as terriers, were bred
to flush out prey, and digging is very innate to them. Other pets may be digging to find 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 yard free from rodents or prey that he may be trying to
flush 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 yard. No other people
or pets should be in the yard, 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 Tone B and
Stimulation Button. Release the button immediately when he
stops digging.
5. If your pet ignores the stimulation, use a higher level
of stimulation.
