PHASE 3 (2-5 days)

Introduction to Distractions

1. Put the receiver collar on your dog at least 20 minutes before going outside.

2. Clip on the green DogWatch training lead and take your dog outside and play a few

minutes in the Safety Zone.

3. Walk around the Safety Zone and have an assistant (friend or family member)

appear outside the Safety Zone at least 10 to 15 feet back from the flags. Walk

past your assistant without speaking, but remain in the Safety Zone.

4. If your dog approaches your assistant and enters the Avoidance Zone, allow your

dog to receive a correction. Yell, "Watch out!" and tug him back into the Safety Zone.

5. Let your assistant leave, walk your dog

around the perimeter again, and let your

assistant appear again. Your assistant can

call out the dog's name, but do not allow

your assistant to ask the dog to "Come".

6. If your dog attempts to go over to your

assistant, reinforce the flags and yell,

"Watch out!" Repeat the exercise for no

more than a total of 20 minutes.

7. If your dog makes no attempt to go over to

your assistant, reinforce the flags, end the

exercise and praise your dog in the Safety

Zone.

8. Repeat the exercise for 2 to 5 days. Then

move to Phase 4.

PHASE 4 (2-5 days)

Introduction to Increased Distractions

1. Put the DogWatch receiver collar on your dog at least 20 minutes before going

outside to train.

2. Clip on the green DogWatch training lead to

your dog's regular collar and take him

outside. Play a few minutes in the Safety

Zone.

3. Reinforce the flags.

4. Introduce "real life" distractions to your dog.

Have a friend drop by or start training when

the letter carrier or school bus is scheduled.

Take extra care if you use a vehicle as a

distraction.

5. Keep the dog on leash when you first intro-

duce the distraction. If your dog attempts to

run past the flags and receives a correction,

he should retreat to the Safety Zone. Praise

and play with your dog.
