Refuse Raiding
The easiest way to prevent refuse raiding is to remove refuse and
tempting food from your pet’s environment. You can use the Remote
Spray Trainer to teach your pet to stay away from these items; however,
you must be prepared to correct your pet every time he approaches them.
1. Choose the Spray Level 1 higher than your pet’s Recognition Level.
2. Pick a temptation for your pet and position yourself where he
cannot see you.
3. While your pet’s mouth is touching the temptation, press and hold
the Lower Button (Spray Correction). Immediately release the button
when your pet leaves the temptation.
4. Do not say anything, as you want your pet to associate the spray with
his behaviour, not you.
5. If your pet does not respond to the Spray Correction, increase the
Spray Level by 1 and repeat the process.
6. Repeat this process in several different locations with
different temptations.
Excessive Barking
Barking is an instinctive behaviour for dogs. It is impossible to keep your dog from barking
entirely, but you can teach him to be quiet when you give him a command.
Note: This will only be effective when you are at home with your dog.
1. Choose your pet’s Recognition Level.
2. Put your dog in a situation that will tempt him to bark.
3. When your dog begins to bark, press the Lower Button (Spray Correction) and give
him the command “Quiet.”
4. Immediately release the button once your dog stops barking and praise him.
5. If your dog ignores the Spray Correction and continues to bark, increase the Spray
Level by 1 and repeat the process.
6. Practice this exercise in different areas using different situations that would cause
your dog to bark.
