Training Your Dog
PHASE 4 -- Off-Leash Supervision -- DAY 12-15
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 above the Havahart
®
Collar.
3. Walk around inside the Roaming Area and play with your dog while
off the leash. (see Figure 2.1)
4. Now focus your attention elsewhere and walk to another part of the
yard while keeping an eye on your dog. (see Figure 2.2)
5. If your dog crosses into and goes beyond the Trigger Zone, lead him
back inside the Roaming Area. Your dog will not be corrected when
he comes back into the Roaming Area.
6. Gently shake a flag to remind your dog that the flags are associated
with the tone and static correction coming from the Havahart
®
Collar.
7. Repeat the training from Phase 3 with distractions and a leash as
necessary.
8. End with lots of playtime and praise for your dog in the Roaming Area at least 10 feet away from the
Training Flags.
9. Be sure to remove the Havahart
®
Collar from your dog after each training session.
NOTE: You may proceed to PHASE 5 when your dog no longer goes beyond the Trigger Zone ---
even with distractions, but will walk anywhere within the Roaming Area.
PHASE 5 -- Dog Monitoring -- DAY 16 AND BEYOND
Start with short sessions and gradually increase duration
1. Your dog should now be comfortable within the Roaming Area and reluctant to cross the Trigger Zone
with or without distractions.
2. Fit the Havahart
®
Collar around your dog’s neck. Place a different non-metal Collar above the
Havahart
®
Collar.
3. Allow your dog to roam freely off leash within the Roaming Area.
4. Keep an eye on him from inside your house.
5. End with lots of playtime and praise for your dog in the Roaming Area at least 10 feet away from the
Training Flags.
6. Be sure to remove the Havahart
®
Collar from your dog after each training session.
Leaving the Roaming Area with Your Dog
Once your dog becomes accustomed to the Trigger Zone, he may become uncomfortable leaving the
Roaming Area for activities such as walks or riding in the car. If you need to take your dog out of the Roaming
Area, ALWAYS remove the Havahart
®
Collar and use one of the following methods:
1. Walk your dog outside of the Roaming Area while on a leash. Cross the same area of the Trigger Zone
flag line each time, giving a command such as “CROSS”, and praising your dog for crossing this specific
area. Always leave this area with your dog on a leash.
2. Carry your dog out.
3. Take your dog out in a car.
NOTE: After completing the training and three additional weeks of successful dog
containment, you can begin to gradually remove the Training Flags by taking away every
other flag, every few days.
