Training Your Dog
Dog Monitoring -- DAY 16 AND BEYOND
PHASE 5 --
Start with short sessions and gradually increase duration
1. Set the correction level to Static Level 1 (see page 12).
2. Your dog should now be comfortable within the Roaming Area and reluctant to cross the Trigger Zone
with or without distractions.
3. Fit the Havahart Wireless Collar around your dog' s neck. Place a different non-metal Collar above the Havahart
®
Collar.
4. Allow your dog to roam freely off leash within the Roaming Area.
5. Keep an eye on him from inside your house.
6. End with lots of playtime and praise for your dog in the Roaming Area at least 10 feet away from the Training Flags.
7. Be sure to remove the Havahart ® Wireless Collar from your dog after each training session.
NOTE: After completing the training and three additional weeks of successful dog containment, you
can begin to gradually remove the Training Flags by taking away every other flag, every few days.
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND YOUR DOG FOR SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING
ALL PHASES OF TRAINING!
TIPS
1. Before beginning training, work with your dog to be sure he understands the concepts of "come" and "leave it."
2. Introduce the Wireless Collar early in the training process by offering treats when fitting the Collar.
3. Complement this training program with positive reinforcement, such as praise or treats. If using praise, use the same
word each time.
4. In order for your dog to associate a correction with a behavior, the corretion must occur immediately. When your dog
crosses the Fence Boundary, immedately say, "Bad Flags."

Troubleshooting
IF ANY OF THE SOLUTIONS TO YOUR ISSUES CANNOT BE
FOUND, PLEASE CALL 1-800-800-1819, Option 453
or visit www.HavahartWireless.com.
Issue:
Wireless
®
The Controller is not able to
find the Havahart
Collar and add it to the System.
The Controller Distance to
Dog does not exactly match
the actual distance to the
®
Havahart Wireless Collar.
The Trigger Zone seems to

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Solution:
See Page 12 -- Activating a Collar.
•
® Wireless
Make sure that the Collar has a fully charged, properly installed Battery. The positive
•
side faces outward.
Gently shake the Collar (Collar light will flash green) to keep it awake when the
•
Controller searches for it.
If you are adding an additional Collar to the system, use a permanent marker to
•
identify the Collars by number. This will ensure you are not trying to add to a
Collar that is already paired to the Controller.
If the Collar has already been added to the system, remove the Collar from
•
the system (see Page 13) and then add the Collar again.
You can set your Trigger Zone distance to any number between
•
40-400 feet, in 5 foot increments.
This is normal. The Trigger Zone can be up to 3-6 feet wide as a result of
•
interference from other objects (see Factors Affecting Signal Strength on Page 8).
Where the Havahart ® Wireless Collar delivers a correction is influenced by the speed
•
and orientation of the Havahart ® Wireless Collar as your dog crosses the Trigger Zone.
Check that the Controller is plugged into a working 120V AC outlet not operated by a
•
light switch, turned on, the LCD screen is displaying text, and the correction level and
Fence Boundary distance are set to your desired levels.
Make sure that the Collar has a fully charged, properly installed Battery. The positive
•
side faces outward.
Make sure that the Collar has been properly added to the Controller (see Page 12)
•
and the correction level is set to Tone-Only.
Make sure to shake the Collar to keep it awake when crossing the Trigger Zone.
•
If you cannot hear the beep because you are in a noisy area, watch for the Collar
•
light to flash red (see Page 14) to determine the location of the Fence Boundary.
