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 Tr a i n e r. 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.
