BEFORE STARTING
DAY ONE
Set Range: The range of the signal field should be set for 8-10 feet. Confhm the actual
distance by approaching the boundary wire while holding the receiver collar with the test
light. The collar will buzz and the test light will come on at the edge of the signal field. This
should be done before allowing your dog outside.
Set Rate* to level "2."
Set Mode* to 'On."
Adjust Collar: Collar tightness is critical. Both contact points must touch your dog's skin.
If not, he will not receive electrical stimulation. A loose collar will also allow the contact
posts to rub back and forth on the skin, possibly causing irritation. If your dog has long
hair, install the longer contact posts on the collar using the 5/16" collar wrench supplied by
DogWatch. Use care, as over-tightening could cause damage to your Receiver. The
Receiver collar should be removed each day to allow your dog's skin to gradually condi
tion itself to the contact posts. Failure to follow this procedure could lead to skin irritations
and possible infection.
1. Put the DogWatch collar on your dog.
2. Put your dog's lead on his regular collar, which should be below the DogWatch collar.
3. Play with your dog for two or three minutes. Have fun with him.
4. Walk him around the property, keeping inside the Safety Zone.
5. When you finish the walk, approach a training flag. Hold your dog in one hand, and
shake the flag with the other hand, telling your dog firmly, "No! No!"
6. Bring your dog back into the center of the Safety Zone.
7. Now walk him around your property allowing him to enter the Avoidance Zone
between two of the waming flags.
8. When your dog enters the Avoidance Zone, he will receive an audible warning and
electrical stimulation. Immediately yell, 'Watch out!" and quickly pull your dog back into
the Safety Zone.
DO NOT ALLOW YOUR DOG TO CROSS OVER THE BOUNDARY WIRE!
9. Praise your dog and play with jiim in the Safety Zone for a few minutes.
This play therapy phase is a very important part of the teaching. It reinforces that only
a portion of the yard is to be avoided. If he enjoys retrieving, toss him a couple of
retrieves.
10. After a few minutes of play, walk him, on his lead, around the complete boundary
keeping inside the Safety Zone.
11. Take your dog inside and remove his DogWatch collar. Congratulations! You have
completed Day One of your dog's training. Note: First impressions are as important
with dogs as they are with people. Your dog's first exposure to electrical stimulation
should be at locations where he likes to leave the property such as driveways or paths.
DAY TWO
1. Place the DogWatch collar on your dog, put on his training lead, and take him outside.
Play with him for two or three minutes.
2. Walk him around the complete boundary of your property, remaining inside the Safety
Zone. Pause two or three times along the way to shake a training flag and say, "No!
No!" Select a new location to teach your dog today.
3. Allow your dog to walk into the Avoidance Zone, If he retreats out of the Avoidance
Zone when he hears the warning beep, praise him for one or two minutes in the
Safety Zone. Select another location and repeat the exercise.
4. If your dog ignores the audible warning and receives electrical stimulation, remember
to yell, 'Watch out!" and pull him back to the center of the Safety Zone. The reason
that you yell, 'Watch out!" is to reinforce that the Avoidance Zone is dangerous. The
anxiety in your voice when you yell is very important.
5. Praise your dog and play with him for two or three minutes in the Safety Zone. Follow
the play period by walking your dog around the boundary of your property, being care
ful to remain within the Safety Zone. Bring your dog inside and remove the DogWatch
collar.
