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 min-

utes, 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 cor-

rection.

PHASE 3 (2-5 days)

Introduction to Distractions

1. Put the DogWatch 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

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.
