Training Your Dog
PHASE 4 -- Off-Leash Supervision -- DAY 11-14
Begin with short training sessions 10-15 minutes in length and gradually increase the sessions
to an hour or more.
1. Do not leave your dog unattended during this phase of training.
2. Fit the Havahart
®
Collar around your dog’s neck. Place a different non-metal collar on top of the Havahart
®
Collar.
3. Walk around inside the Roaming Area and play with your dog while off the leash.
4. Now focus your attention elsewhere and walk to another part of the yard while keeping an eye on your dog.
5. If your dog crosses the flag line and goes beyond the boundary, remove the Havahart
®
Collar and walk him
back inside the Roaming Area. Reach out and gently shake a flag to remind him that the flags represent an
area of discomfort.
6. Repeat this process until your dog no longer leaves the Roaming Area.
PHASE 5 -- Dog Monitoring -- DAY 15 AND BEYOND
1. Your dog should now be comfortable within the Roaming Area and reluctant to cross the boundary line with or
without distractions.
2. Your dog may require training to become comfortable leaving the Roaming Area for activities such as walks or
riding in the car. This may be accomplished by:
1. Removing the Havahart
®
Collar and walking your dog outside of the Roaming Area while on a leash. Cross
the same area of the boundary line each time, giving the command ‘OK’ and praising your dog for crossing this
specific area. Always leave this area with your dog on a leash.
2. Removing the Havahart
®
Collar, putting your dog in the car and driving outside the Roaming Area.
NOTE: Within 60-90 days, you can begin to gradually remove the boundary flags by taking
away every other flag, every few days.
