EATING WHAT’S NOT ALLOWED
The Remote Trainer can be used to stop a dog from eating
things he shouldn’t. Using a Remote Trainer makes it easy
for the dog to learn not to steal food, raid the garbage, or
eat animal droppings, because you can make these things
unpleasant to the dog.
Lesson Plan to Stop Eating What’s Not Allowed
Follow the procedure described to stop digging. The moment
the dog’s mouth actually touches the temptation,
press the stimulation button. If the dog
does not respond to the correction, press
and release the stimulation button sev-
eral times. If he is still not respond-
ing after repetition, increase
the
intensity by one level.
