Eliminating Unwanted Behavior
Jumping Up
Pets typically jump up to get attention. If you do not want your pet to
jump on you, then friends or members of the family should not encourage
this behavior. That means every time your pet jumps on someone, he
should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable
behavior, for which he can receive praise.
Note: It is best if your pet fi rst understands the “Sit” command.
1. As soon as your pet lifts his paws
off the ground to jump on you,
press the “N” Button and give the
command “Sit.”
2. Release the “N” Button
immediately once your pet is
sitting, and press and hold the “P”
Button for 2 seconds.
3. Practice this exercise in several
different areas and use different people for distractions.
Digging
It is important to fi rst understand why your pet is digging. Many dogs,
such as terriers, were bred to fl ush out prey, and digging is very innate to
them. Other dogs may be digging to fi nd 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 fl ush out.
1. No other people or pets should be in the yard during training sessions,
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.
