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 the Stimulation button and release
it when he stops digging. Only press the button while your
pet is in the act of digging, and do not say anything to him.
5. If your pet ignores the stimulation, increase the Intensity
Level by 1.
6. Continue to watch your pet, as he may choose another
area to dig.
7. Do not allow your pet in the yard unsupervised until he has
completely stopped digging.
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 he has learned the “Recall” command,
regardless of the distraction. Be consistent and correct your dog every time he chases something.
It is vitally important that you and your dog remain safe while carrying out this
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 enough to restrain your dog
when he tries to chase.
1. Choose the Intensity Level one step higher than your dog’s Recognition Level.
2. 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).
3. 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, give the “Recall” command and press and hold
the Stimulation button until he stops. If he fails to stop, restrain him with the leash before he
reaches danger.
4. When your dog stops chasing the object, immediately release the button, walk backwards
and give the command “Recall.” Praise your dog as he comes to you.
5. If your dog ignores the stimulation, repeat using a higher level of stimulation.
6. Repeat the process until your dog responds consistently to the “Recall” command.
