Tri-Tronics G2 Basic Training - Manual (Page 7)

Continue to observe the dog for three days while he’s in a place where he
has the chance to dig. If the dog has gone for three days after the most recent
correction without trying to dig, you can usually consider this training
complete. Be prepared to repeat it if digging starts again.
Digging – Summary of Steps
• Use a pre-selected level of intensity.
• Leave the dog in an area where he likes to dig, and
watch him without his knowing.
• Press the stimulation button the moment he starts to dig.
• If the dog ignores the correction, raise the intensity by one level.
• Continue the training process until the dog has gone for three days
without trying to dig.
• During the training period, do not give the dog a chance to dig
if you cannot correct him.
Chasing
A dog won’t chase something he consistently finds unpleasant. You can use
the Remote Trainer very effectively to cause the dog to associate strong
displeasure with chasing. However, this training will generally discourage
him from chasing only the particular thing you corrected him for chasing.
For example, if you have corrected him for chasing cars, this will not carry
over and prevent him from chasing cats. You must correct him for chasing
each thing you don’t want him to chase. If your dog already has a habit of
chasing, breaking it might be difficult, because the excitement of chasing
Jumping Up – Summary of Steps
• Use a pre-selected level of intensity.
• Approach the dog and cause him to jump up.
• Press the stimulation button the instant the dog jumps up.
Good timing is important.
• Raise the intensity by one level if the dog is not responsive
after several corrections.
• Repeat in several places with different people.
• Don’t give the dog a chance to jump up without correcting him
until he has gone for three days without trying to jump up.
• Use this same method to stop the dog from jumping on barriers.
Digging
Curing this problem is a challenge because dogs usually dig when they’re
bored and no one’s around. When you’re home and paying attention to your
dog, you may not see him digging.
Lesson Plan to Stop Digging
Set the intensity to the level you selected for your dog in the section,
“Intensity Selection Tips.” Place the dog by himself in an area where he is
likely to dig. Watch him, but don’t let him know it. When he begins to dig,
immediately press the stimulation button. If the dog does not respond to the
correction, raise the intensity by one level. To cure the digger, you must catch
him in the beginning of the act every time he digs. Expect to spend several
days watching your dog closely. These days do not need to be consecutive,
but when you cannot watch him, do not leave him where he can dig.
