6. Give a leash (tug) correction, and quickly

retreat into the Safety Zone. This creates a

sense of urgency to the retreat. It is not a

casual turn. Remember to use of lot of “Good

dog!” praise after you’ve retreated into the

Safety Zone.

7. Now walk your dog around the property allow-

ing him to enter the Avoidance Zone between

the two flags.

8. When your dog enters the Avoidance Zone,

he will receive an audible “beep” warning.

Immediately yell, “Watch out!” and quickly tug

on the leash and direct him back into the

Safety Zone and praise

(Figure 13.)

9. Repeat several times in different locations

(where flags are visible) and watch for

hesitation as you approach the flags.

Your dog may turn or shake his head when he

hears the beep.

Remember: Playtime is very important!

Praise and play with your dog in the Safety Zone

for a few minutes. Take your dog inside and

remove the DogWatch receiver collar after about

20 minutes. Train your dog in this manner for a

least two days before moving on to Phase 2.

PHASE 2 (2-5 days)

Introduction to Correction

1. Put the DogWatch receiver collar on your dog at least 20 minutes before going out-

side to train.

2. Clip on the green DogWatch training lead and take your dog outside and play a few

minutes in the Safety Zone.

3. Walk around the complete perimeter, remaining inside the Safety Zone. Pause a

few times along the way to slap a flag and yell, “Watch out!” or “Careful!”

4. Your dealer has set the receiver to the training level appropriate for your dog and

has helped you introduce your dog to correction. Phase Two will help reinforce your

dog’s new boundary and the consequences if he crosses the training flags. Select

a new location to teach your dog today. Allow your dog to walk into the Avoidance

Zone while saying the negative command. When your dog retreats out of the

Avoidance Zone after he hears the warning “beep”, praise him for a few minutes in

the Safety Zone. Select another location and repeat the exercise.

If your dog does not react to the correction, first check to be sure the contact posts

are touching the dog’s skin. If your dog still does not respond to the correction, con

tact your dealer
