Days 5 thru 8 - Distraction Phase
Perform three training sessions per day, each lasting 10 to 15 minutes.
Goal:
To train your pet to stay within the Pet Area with distractions outside of the Pet
Area.
Setup:
• Program the Static Correction Level on the Receiver Collar to level 2 or higher
depending on the reaction results from days 2 thru 4.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar
and attach a leash.
Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the
Contact Points.
• Have tiny pieces of treats available (hot dogs or lunch meat work well).
• Have your pet’s favorite play toy available.
• Create distractions to tempt your pet to enter the Static Correction Zone,
such as:
– Have a family member cross from inside the Pet Area to outside of it.
– Throw a ball or treat outside of the Pet Area.
– Have a neighbor walk their pet outside of the Pet Area.
• Gradually increase distraction level.
Never coax or call your pet out of the pet area.
Steps:
1. With full control of your pet on a leash, have the distraction presented.
2. If your pet does not move toward the distraction, praise and offer a treat.
3. If your pet does react to the distraction, allow him to go into the Static
Correction Zone.
4. Help your pet back into the Pet Area if he does not turn back after 2 seconds.
5. Treat and praise your pet anytime he comes back into the Pet Area with or
without help.
6. Repeat this process with other distractions. Use other family members during
this process.
7. If your pet does not respond to the Static Correction, confirm that the Receiver
Collar is fitting properly according to Step 9 on page 22.
8. If the Receiver Collar is fitted properly and if your pet does not respond to the
Static Correction, increase the Static Correction Level by 1.
