Distraction Training
Training sessions should start at 10 to 15 minutes, gradually increasing to over an hour.
Goal:
To slowly increase your dog's time on the mat, his distance from you, and his tolerance for a number of distractions.
Setup:
• Program the Receiver Collar to the desired level depending on the size and temperament of your dog.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your dog's neck above the Receiver Collar and attach a leash to it. Note: Be
sure that the extra collar does not put pressure on the Receiver Collar's Contact Points.
• Have tiny pieces of your dog's favorite treat or a favorite toy available for training.
• Introduce distraction by having family, close friends, or other dogs in the room as you give the "Place" command.
Training with distractions can be diffi cult for some dogs in the beginning, so stay close enough to your dog that
you can guide him back to the Stay! Mat
Steps:
1. Maintaining full control of your dog on his leash, introduce the distractions.
2. If your dog does not move off the Stay! Mat
3. If your dog does come off the mat, allow him to receive a static correction. If he does not return within 7 seconds,
simply retrieve the leash, help him back onto the Stay! Mat
4. Treat and praise your dog whenever he returns to the Stay! Mat
5. Repeat this process with other distractions. Your dog should start to resist leaving the Stay! Mat
