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.
