Phase 3:
Days 5 Through 8—Distraction Phase
Perform 3 training sessions per day, each lasting 10–15 minutes.
Goal:
To train your pet to stay within the pet area with distractions outside of the pet area.
Setup:
• Program the static stimulation level on the receiver collar to level 2 or higher, depending on the reaction
results from days 2 through 4.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet's neck and attach a lead.
• Have small pieces of your pet's favourite treats available.
• Have your pet's favourite play toy available.
• Stage some distractions to tempt your pet to enter the static stimulation zone. Start with temptations that
are of lower value for your pet, and work your way up. It is typically harder for pets to resist temptations
that are close by than those further away:
- Have a family member cross from inside the pet area to outside of it.
- Place a ball, treat or toy outside of the pet area.
- Have a neighbour walk their pet outside of the pet area.
• Gradually increase distraction level.
- Never coax or call your pet out of the pet area.
Steps:
1. With full control of your pet on a lead, have the distraction presented.
2. If your pet does not move toward the distraction, praise and offer a treat.
3. If your pet does react to the distraction, allow him or her to go into the static stimulation zone while still
on the lead.
4. Help your pet back into the pet area if he or she does not turn back after 2 seconds.
5. Treat and praise your pet anytime he or she comes back into the pet area with or without help.
6. Repeat this process with other distractions. Use other family members during this process.
7. If your pet does not respond to the static stimulation, confirm that the receiver collar is fitting properly
according to the instructions in Step 10.
8. If the receiver collar is fitted properly and if your pet does not respond to the static stimulation, increase
the static stimulation level by one setting.
