Phase 3: Days 5 Through 8-Distraction Phase - Petsafe PIG19 Manual Del Producto

Phase 3:
Days 5 Through 8—Distraction Phase
Perform 3 training sessions per day, each lasting 10–15 minutes.
Goal:
To train your pet to stay within the pet area with distractions outside of the pet area.
Setup:
• Program the static stimulation level on the receiver collar to level 2 or higher, depending on the reaction results
from days 2 through 4.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet's neck and attach a lead.
• Have small pieces of your pet's favourite treats available.
• Have your pet's favourite play toy available.
• Stage some distractions to tempt your pet to enter the static stimulation zone. Start with temptations that are of
lower value for your pet, and work your way up. It is typically harder for pets to resist temptations that are close
by than those further away:
- Have a family member cross from inside the pet area to outside of it.
- Place a ball, treat or toy outside of the pet area.
- Have a neighbour walk their pet outside of the pet area.
• Gradually increase distraction level.
- Never coax or call your pet out of the pet area.
Steps:
1. With full control of your pet on a lead, have the distraction presented.
2. If your pet does not move toward the distraction, praise and offer a treat.
3. If your pet does react to the distraction, allow him or her to go into the static stimulation zone while still on
the lead.
4. Help your pet back into the pet area if he or she does not turn back after 2 seconds.
5. Treat and praise your pet anytime he or she comes back into the pet area with or without help.
6. Repeat this process with other distractions. Use other family members during this process.
7. If your pet does not respond to the static stimulation, confirm that the receiver collar is fitting properly according
to the instructions in Step 11.
8. If the receiver collar is fitted properly and if your pet does not respond to the static stimulation, increase the static
stimulation level by one setting.
