Chasing - Petsafe PDT20 Betriebsanleitung

Chasing

Chasing is an instinctive behaviour stimulated by moving objects. Some dogs have a particularly
strong desire to chase that can put them in harm's way and leave you helpless. Never allow your
dog off the lead or out of a contained area until he has learned the "Come" command, regardless
of the distraction. Be consistent and correct your dog every time he chases something.
1. It is vitally important that you and your dog remain safe while carrying out this training. Your
dog should be on a strong lead, long enough for him to attempt to chase an object, but short
enough for him not to reach a road or other unsafe area. You must also be physically strong
enough to restrain your dog when he tries to chase.
2. Choose the Intensity Level one step higher than your dog's Recognition Level.
3. Set up a scenario where your dog is enticed to chase an object. Common items could be cars,
motorcycles, bicycles, etc. (do not use toys).
4. When the object passes in front of your dog, make sure to hold the lead with a fi rm grip. As
soon as your dog begins to chase the object, give the "Come" command and press and hold
the Upper Button to send an Audible Tone and Stimulation until he stops. If he fails to stop,
restrain him with the lead before he reaches danger.
5. When your dog stops chasing the object, immediately release the Upper Button, walk backwards
and give the command "Come." Praise your dog as he comes to you.
6. If your dog ignores the Stimulation, repeat using the Lower Button to send a higher level of
Stimulation. Note: This function only applies if the Remote Transmitter is programmed in Mode 1.
7. Repeat the process until your dog responds consitently to the "Come" command.
