Containment Training
This section covers the phases necessary to teach your dog to remain within the
designated boundary of your property by teaching you how to teach your dog, so it is
important that you understand each phase completely.
Your Dog's Response To Stimulation
Stimulation has been a safe and effective part of dog training for over twenty years.
All dogs respond differently when they feel a mild stimulation. Some dogs may
demonstrate little, if any, reaction, while others may yelp or jump back. Some dogs
"freeze". Do not try to comfort the dog if he receives correction or it will reinforce his
anxiety.
Dog Personalities and Traits
Keep in mind that a dog's personality and traits differ among breeds. Dogs may not
exhibit the same personalities and traits within the same breed.
Your DogWatch dealer will ask you questions about your dog before training begins.
A shy or senior dog may require longer Phase 1 sessions, while a gregarious or
easily distract dog may require a short Phase 1, but longer Phase 2 or 3 sessions.
The better you know your dog, the easier the training will be for both of you!
Creating The Right Environment
Attitude and Consistency is Important!
1. Keep the training "light". Use lots of praise. Keep the dog's spirits high.
2. Use high happy tones for praise. Use low tones for negative commands.
3. Move around the boundary in the same direction.
4. Reinforce the boundary with commands. Use the commands "Watch Out!" or
"Careful" as you slap or shake the flags.
5. Limit the training session to no more than 20 minutes.Keep training consistent.
6. Keep your dog on the lead in the yard for five days.
7. If you are training more than one dog, train each dog separately.
8. Use naturally occurring distractions such as a neighbor or children.
9. Contact your DogWatch Dealer if you have any questions.
Remember!
Proper training is essential for successful containment. If you have any questions
about the training phases, especially during the first few weeks, or if you have
questions about your dog's behavior during his training sessions, please contact your
DogWatch dealer.
