Chasing
Chasing is an instinctive behavior 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 leash or out of a contained area until they
have learned the "Come" command, regardless of the distraction. Be consistent and
correct your dog every time they chase something.
CAUTION! It is vitally important that you and your dog remain safe while learning
during on-leash training. Your dog should be on a strong leash, 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 to restrain your dog when they try to
chase.
1. If your dog has not learned the "Come" command, keep a leash on them so that
you can physically stop them before they reach the object that is being chased.
2. Choose the intensity level that is one level above your pet's Recognition Level.
3. Set up a scenario where your dog is enticed to chase an object. Common items
could be cars, motorcycles, bicycles, etc. (do not use toys).
4. When the object passes in front of your dog, make sure to hold the leash with a
firm grip. As soon as your dog begins to chase the object, press and hold the [S]
button until they stop.
5. When your dog stops chasing the object, immediately release the button, walk
backwards and give the "Come" command. Praise your dog as they come to you.
6. Repeat the process until your dog stops chasing the object.
Trash Raiding
The easiest way to prevent trash raiding is to remove garbage and tempting food
from your pet's environment. You can use the e-collar to teach your pet to stay away
from these items; however, you must be prepared to correct your pet every time
they approach them.
1. Choose the intensity level that is one level above your dog's Recognition Level.
2. Pick a temptation for your pet and position yourself where they can't see you.
3. While your pet's mouth is touching the temptation, press and hold the [S] button.
Immediately release the button when your pet leaves the temptation.
4. Do not say anything, as you want your pet to associate the stimulation with their
behavior, not you.
