Tri-Tronics G2 Basic Training - Manual (Page 9)

Leave the dog in an area where there are items he’d like to chew but
shouldn’t. Watch him, preferably without his realizing it. If people are
present in the area, they should ignore the dog before and after the
correction. The moment the dog begins to chew something he shouldn’t,
press the stimulation button. If the dog does not respond to the correction,
increase the intensity by one level.
During this training period, do not give the dog any opportunities to chew
the wrong things unless you can correct him with the Remote Trainer.
When you are not watching, confine him to an area with only his approved
chew toys.
Observe the dog for three days after his most recent correction for chewing.
During this period, always be prepared to correct him if he tries to chew
what he shouldn’t. When the dog can go for three days without trying
to chew the forbidden things, you can usually consider your training
completed for this problem. Be prepared to repeat the training if chewing
starts up again.
Chasing – Summary of Steps
• Train “Come” with the Remote Trainer before using it to stop chasing.
• Start with an intensity one level above your dog’s normal intensity level.
• Set up situations in safe areas that will cause the dog to chase; be ready
to use the Remote Trainer as soon as a correction is needed.
• When the dog starts to chase, press and hold the continuous stimulation
button until the dog stops chasing.
• If the dog doesn’t break off his chase after a few seconds, “pump” the
continuous button.
• If the dog doesn’t respond to the correction, increase the intensity again.
• Repeat in several locations.
• During the training period, do not give the dog a chance to chase unless
you can correct him with the Remote Trainer.
Destructive Chewing
Chewing is a natural and pleasurable activity for dogs. Before you begin
training your dog not to chew things, give him some safe chew toys of his
own. Encourage him to chew them, especially after correcting him for
chewing the wrong things.
Lesson Plan to Stop Destructive Chewing
Set the intensity to the level you selected for your dog in the section
“Intensity Selection Tips.”
