Teaching Basic Obedience

The “Sit” Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar,

and attach a 3 metre lead. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the

Vibration Points.

2. Hold the lead and the Handheld Remote in one hand. Keep your other hand free to

guide your pet into a “Sit” position.

3. Press and hold the Vibration Button, starting at your pet’s Recognition Level.

4. Immediately give the “Sit” command while continuing to hold the Vibration Button.

5. Release the Vibration Button as soon as your pet is in position, and praise him.

6. Release your pet from the “Sit” command and play.

7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6.

Note: If your pet breaks the “Sit” command, repeat steps 3 through 6. Keep your pet close

to you while teaching the “Sit” command.

4www.petsafe.net

The “Recall” Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar,

and attach a 3 metre lead. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the

Vibration Points.

2. Hold your lead in one hand and the Handheld Remote in the other.

3. Wait for your pet to walk away from you. Using the Recognition Level for your pet, press

and hold the Vibration Button on your Handheld Remote.

4. Immediately give the command “Come” while continuing to hold the Vibration Button.

5. Using the lead, gently guide your pet toward you until he begins to come in

your direction.

6. Immediately release the Vibration Button as soon as your pet steps towards you, and

praise him enthusiastically.

7. Quickly move backwards as your pet begins to come back to you, praising him the

entire time.

8. Praise your pet when he returns to you.

9. Repeat Steps 3 through 8.

10. Once your pet responds readily to the “Come” command several times, back away

from him without giving a command. When your pet turns toward you, give the

command “Come” (WITHOUT VIBRATION) and praise him while you continue to back

up. Praise your pet when he returns to you.

11. Use your lead to prevent your pet from running past you. If your pet manages to run past

you, repeat Steps 3 through 8.

The “Stay” Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar,

and attach a 3 metre lead. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the

Vibration Points.

2. Visibly identify a designated area where you want your pet to sit by placing his bed or a

large piece of cloth on the ground.

3. After identifying a place, put your pet in that area. Hold your lead in one hand and the

Handheld Remote in the other.

4. Staying within approximately 1 metre, walk around the perimeter of the designated

area. Do not say anything to your pet.

5. If your pet tries to leave that area, press and hold the Vibration Button while saying

“Stay”, and if necessary, use the lead to guide your pet onto the designated area.

6. Immediately release the Vibration Button as soon as your pet returns to the area and

praise him enthusiastically.

7. Once your pet has settled for a few seconds, release him and play calmly.

8. Repeat steps 1 through 5.

Eliminating Unwanted Behaviour

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 behaviour. That means every time

your pet jumps on someone, he should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and

acceptable behaviour for which he can receive praise.

Note: It is best if your pet ﬁrst understands the “Sit” command.

1. Choose your pet’s Recognition Level.

2. As soon as your pet lifts his paws off the ground to jump on you, press the Vibration

Button and give the command “Sit.”

3. Release the Vibration Button immediately once your pet is sitting, and verbally

praise him.

4. If your pet ignores the Vibration Stimulation, increase the level by 1.

5. Practice this exercise in several different areas and use different people for distractions.

7www.petsafe.net

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 garden free from rodents or prey that he may be trying to ﬂush out.

1. Choose the Vibration Level 1 higher than your pet’s Recognition Level.

2. Place the Receiver Collar on your pet and wait at least 10 minutes before placing him in

the garden. No other people or pets should be in the garden, as you do not want your

pet to associate the Vibration Stimulation with anything other than his digging. Your pet

must be securely fenced in or contained during training.

3. From a window or area where your pet cannot see you, wait until your pet begins

to dig.

4. While your pet digs, press the Vibration Button and release it when he stops digging.

Only press the button while your pet is in the act of digging, and do not say anything

to him.

5. If your pet ignores the Vibration Stimulation, increase the level by 1.

6. Continue to watch your pet, as he may choose another area to dig.

7. Do not allow your pet in the garden unsupervised until he has completely

stopped digging.

8www.petsafe.net

Chasing

Chasing is an instinctive behaviour stimulated by moving objects. Some dogs have a

particularly strong desire to chase that can put them in harm’s way and leave you helpless.

Never allow your dog off the lead or out of a contained area until he has learned the

“Recall” command, regardless of the distraction. Be consistent and correct your dog every

time he chases something.

It is vitally important that you and your dog remain safe while learning

during on-lead training. Your dog should be on a strong lead, long

enough for him to attempt to chase an object, but short enough for him

not to reach a road or other unsafe area. You must also be physically

strong enough to restrain your dog when he tries to chase.

1. If your dog has not reliably learned the “Recall” command, keep a lead on him so you

can physically stop him before he reaches the object he is chasing.

2. Choose the Vibration Level 1 higher than your dog’s Recognition Level.

3. Set up a scenario where your dog is enticed to chase an object. Common items could

be cars, motorcycles, bicycles, etc. (Do not use toys).

4. When the object passes in front of your dog, make sure to hold the lead with a ﬁrm grip.

As soon as your dog begins to chase the object, press and hold the Vibration Button

until he stops.

5. When your dog stops chasing the object, immediately release the button, walk

backwards and give the command “Come.” Praise your dog as he comes to you.

6. Repeat the process until your dog stops chasing the object.

Rubbish Raiding

The easiest way to prevent rubbish raiding is to remove garbage and tempting food from

your pet’s environment. You can use the Vibration Remote Trainer to teach your pet to stay

away from these items; however, you must be prepared to correct your pet every time he

approaches them.

1. Choose the Vibration Level 1 higher than your pet’s Recognition Level.

2. Pick a temptation for your pet and position yourself where he cannot see you.

3. While your pet’s mouth is touching the temptation, press and hold the Vibration Button.

Immediately release the button when your pet leaves the temptation.

4. Do not say anything, as you want your pet to associate the Vibration Stimulation with his

behaviour, not you.

5. If your pet does not respond to the Vibration Stimulation, increase the level by 1 and

repeat the process.

6. Repeat this process in several different locations with different temptations.
