Eliminating Unwanted Behavior
Jumping Up
Pets typically jump up to get attention. If you do not want your pet to jump on you, then
friends or members of the family should not encourage this behavior. That means every
time your pet jumps on someone, he should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate
and acceptable behavior, for which he can receive praise.
Note: It is best if your pet first understands the “Sit” command.
1. As soon as your pet lifts his paws off the ground to jump on you, press the Stimulation
Button and give the command “Sit.”
2. Release the Stimulation Button immediately once your pet is sitting, and verbally praise
him.
3. If your pet ignores the stimulation, increase the Intensity Level until he/she responds.

Digging
It is important to first understand why your pet is digging. Many dogs, such as terriers,
were bred to flush out prey, and digging is very innate to them. Other dogs may be digging
to find a cool spot to lie down, or simply out of boredom. Your pet may no longer have
the desire to dig if he is provided with the following: A cool, shaded area in which to lie
down, and plenty of water. An alternate activity, such as a favorite toy. Plenty of play,
exercise, and attention. A yard free from rodents or prey that he may be trying to flush out.
4. Practice this exercise in several different areas and use different people for distractions.
