1. Choose the Stimulation 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 Top Button
(light blue) to deliver Vibration only, or the Middle
Button (medium blue on the PDT00-12894 model)
to deliver quick Vibration followed by controlled
Static Stimulation, or the Bottom Button (dark blue
on the PDT00-12894 model) to deliver a quick on/
off Static Stimulation followed by controlled Static
Stimulation, and give the command “Sit.”
3. Release the button immediately once your pet is sitting, and verbally praise him. Note: If a Static
Stimulation button is held up to 12 continuous seconds, the LED will flash rapidly to indicate a
safety time-out. Once released, the button resets to normal functionality.
4. If your pet ignores the Vibration or Static 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 Stimulation 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
Correction 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 Top Button (light blue) to deliver Vibration only, or the
Middle Button (medium blue for the PDT00-12894 model) to deliver quick Vibration followed by
controlled Static Stimulation, or the Bottom Button (dark blue on the PDT00-12894 model) to
deliver a quick on/off Static Stimulation followed by controlled Static Stimulation. Release the
button immediately when he stops digging. Note: If a Static Stimulation button is held up to 12
continuous seconds, the LED will flash rapidly to indicate a safety time-out. Once released, the
button resets to normal functionality.
