The "Come" Command - SportDOG SportTrainer 500 Manual De Funcionamiento

The "Come" Command

1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your
dog's neck ABOVE the Collar Receiver, and
attach a 3 metre lead. Note: Be sure the extra
collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
2. Hold your lead in one hand and the Remote
Transmitter in the other.
3. Wait for your dog to walk away from you.
4. Press and hold the Side Button to send
an Audible Tone to your dog while saying
"Come" and if necessary use the lead to guide
your dog toward you.
5. Immediately release the Side Button as soon
as your dog steps toward you, and praise him
enthusiastically.
6. Quickly move backwards as your dog begins
to come toward you, praising him the entire
time. Stop moving backwards and praise your
dog when he returns to you.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 several times.
8. If your dog comes to you reliably on receiving the
Audible Tone and the spoken "Come" command,
then training is complete. Release your dog and
praise him. If not, move on to Step 9.
9. Wait for your dog to walk away from you. Using the Recognition
Level for your dog, press and hold the Upper Button to send an
Audible Tone and Stimulation to your dog while saying "Come"
and if necessary use the lead to guide your dog toward you.
10. Immediately release the Upper Button as soon as your dog
steps toward you, and praise him enthusiastically.
11. Quickly move backwards as your dog begins to come toward
you, praising him the entire time. Stop moving backwards and
praise your dog when he returns to you.
12. Repeat steps 9 to 11 several times.
13. If your dog now comes to you reliably on receiving the
Audible Tone and Stimulation with the spoken "Come" command, he may now be ready to
respond without Stimulation. Take a play break and then go back and repeat from Step 3 with
Audible Tone only.
