Training Your Dog

PHASE 2 -- Active Training -- DAY 4-7 (2-3 training sessions per day: each 10-15 minutes long)

1. Refer to page 4 of this instruction manual to properly adjust the correction level of your Havahart

Collar using the

Controller to static correction level 1.

2. To ensure that the system is working properly, attach the Heart-Shaped Collar Tester to the Havahart

Collar probes

and carry the Havahart

Collar by the strap to a boundary point and watch the Heart-Shaped Collar Tester light up.

3. Fit the Havahart

Collar around your dog’s neck. Place a different non-metal collar on top of the Havahart

Collar.

4. Attach a 6’ leash to the other collar and make sure that this collar does not apply pressure to the probes on the

Havahart

Collar as this could hurt your dog when you pull on the leash.

5. Using the leash, walk your dog around inside the Roaming Area for 5 minutes, avoiding contact with the

boundary flags.

6. Calmly approach the boundary flag line -- do not look at your dog.

7. Give your dog the opportunity to pass the flag line. As he does, he will first hear a tone near the boundary and will

then receive a low static correction when he crosses the line.

8. Allow your dog to stay in the boundary area for a few seconds and then pull him back to the Roaming Area.

9. Gently shake a boundary flag to remind your dog that the flags represent an area of discomfort.

10. Now step back a few feet from the flags and praise your dog with treats.

11. Repeat this process at a few boundary flags.

NOTE: Multiple corrections may make your dog nervous or anxious during this phase of training.

12. If your dog does not respond to the static correction, you will need to use the Controller to increase the static

correction to level 2 or higher as necessary.

13. End with lots of playtime and praise for your dog within 11 feet of the fence boundary.

14. Be sure to remove the Havahart

Collar from your dog after each training session.

NOTE: You may proceed to PHASE 3 when your dog refuses to go near any of the boundary flags.
