Eliminating Unwanted Behavior
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 behavior. That means every time your pet jumps on someone, he should be
reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable behavior, for which he can receive praise.
Note: It is best if your pet fi rst 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 Stimulation Only
Button and give the command "Sit."
3. Release the Stimulation Only Button
immediately once your pet is sitting, and
verbally praise him.
4. If your pet ignores the stimulation, increase the
Intensity Level by 1.
5. Practice this exercise in several different areas
and use different people for distractions.
Digging
It is important to fi rst understand why your pet is digging. Many dogs, such as terriers, were bred to fl ush out
prey, and digging is very innate to them. Other dogs may be digging to fi nd 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 yard free from rodents or prey that he may be trying to fl ush out.
1. Choose the Intensity 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 yard. No other
people or pets should be in the yard, as you do not want your pet to associate the stimulation with anything
other than his digging. Your pet must be securely fenced in or contained during training.
