PHASE 3 (2-5 days)

Introduction to Distractions

1. Put the receiver collar on your dog at least 20 minutes before going outside.

2. Clip on the green DogWatch training lead and take your dog outside and play a few

minutes in the Safety Zone.

3. Walk around the Safety Zone and have an assistant (friend or family member)

appear outside the Safety Zone at least 10 to 15 feet back from the flags. Walk

past your assistant without speaking, but remain in the Safety Zone.(Figure 14.)

4. If your dog approaches your assistant and enters the Avoidance Zone, allow your

dog to receive a correction. Yell, “Watch out!” and tug him back into the Safety Zone.

5. Let your assistant leave, walk your dog

around the perimeter again, and let your

assistant appear again. Your assistant can

call out the dog’s name, but do not allow

your assistant to ask the dog to “Come”.

6. If your dog attempts to go over to your

assistant, reinforce the flags and yell,

“Watch out!” Repeat the exercise for no

more than a total of 20 minutes.

7. If your dog makes no attempt to go over to

your assistant, reinforce the flags, end the

exercise and praise your dog in the Safety

Zone.

8. Repeat the exercise for 2 to 5 days. Then

move to Phase 4.

PHASE 4 (2-5 days)

Introduction to Increased Distractions

1. Put the DogWatch receiver collar on your

dog at least 20 minutes before going

outside to train.

2. Clip on the green DogWatch training lead to

your dog’s regular collar and take him

outside. Play a few minutes in the Safety

Zone.

3. Reinforce the flags.

4. Introduce “real life” distractions to your dog.

Have a friend drop by or start training when

the letter carrier or school bus is scheduled.

Take extra care if you use a vehicle as a

distraction. (Figure 15.)

5. Keep the dog on leash when you first intro-

duce the distraction. If your dog attempts to

8. When your dog enters the Avoidance Zone,

he will receive an audible “beep” warning.

Immediately yell, “Watch out!” and quickly

tug on the leash and direct him back into

the Safety Zone and praise (Figure 13.)

9. Repeat several times in different locations

(where flags are visible) and watch for

hesitation as you approach the flags. Your

dog may turn or shake his head when he

hears the beep.

Remember: Playtime is very important!

Praise and play with your dog in the Safety

Zone for a few minutes. Take your dog inside

and remove the DogWatch receiver collar after

about 20 minutes. Train your dog in this

manner for a least two days before moving

on to Phase 2.

PHASE 2 (2-5 days)

Introduction to Correction

1. Put the DogWatch receiver collar on your

dog at least 20 minutes before going

outside to train.

2. Clip on the green DogWatch training lead

and take your dog outside and play a few

minutes in the Safety Zone.

3. Walk around the complete perimeter, remaining inside the Safety Zone. Pause a

few times along the way to slap a flag and yell, “Watch out!” or “Careful!”

4. Your dealer has set the receiver to the training level appropriate for your dog and

has helped you introduce your dog to correction. Phase Two will help reinforce

your dog’s new boundary and the consequences if he crosses the training flags.

Select a new location to teach your dog today. Allow your dog to walk into the

Avoidance Zone while saying the negative command. When your dog retreats out

of the Avoidance Zone after he hears the warning “beep”, praise him for a few

minutes in the Safety Zone. Select another location and repeat the exercise.

If your dog does not react to the correction, first check to be sure the contact posts

are touching the dog’s skin. If your dog still does not respond to the correction, con

tact your dealer.

Remember: Keep the training sessions to no longer than 20 minutes, once or twice a day.

5. After training, praise your dog and play with him in the Safety Zone for a few

minutes, bring your dog into the house and remove the DogWatch collar after

about 20 minutes.

Note: It is important not to remove the receiver collar immediately following the

training as you do not want your dog to associate the receiver collar with the

correction.
