Training Your Dog
PHASE 1 -- Passive Training -- DAY 1-3 (2-3 training sessions per day: each 10-15 minutes long)
®
1.
Insert a fully charged battery in the Havahart
Wireless Collar and set the correction level to Tone Only (see Page 23).
2.
To ensure that the system is working properly, take the Havahart
Wireless Collar by itself out to the Trigger Zone and listen for the tone.
®
3.
Fit the Havahart
Wireless Collar around your dog's neck. Place a different
®
non-metal collar above the Havahart
Wireless Collar and attach a leash
to it. Make sure that this collar does not apply pressure to the Probes on
®
the Havahart
Wireless Collar as this could hurt your dog when you pull on
the leash.
4.
Using the leash, walk your dog around inside the Roaming Area for
5 minutes, avoiding contact with the Trigger Zone.
5.
Calmly approach the Trigger Zone flag line -- do not look at your dog.
6.
Give your dog the opportunity to pass into the Trigger Zone. He will hear a tone within the Trigger Zone.
7.
Allow your dog to stay in the Trigger Zone for a few seconds while hearing the tone.
8.
Gently shake a Training Flag while saying "Bad Flags" in a firm, disapproving tone to show your dog
that the flags are associated with the tone coming from the Havahart
your dog.
9.
Lead your dog back into the Roaming Area and praise your dog.
10.
Repeat this process at several different Training Flags.
11.
As training progresses over the next 2 days, you should notice that when your dog hears the tone, he
will return to the Roaming Area without your prompting.
12.
End with lots of playtime and praise for your dog in the Roaming Area at least 10 feet away from
the Training Flags.
®
13.
Be sure to remove the Havahart
Wireless Collar from your dog after each training session.
14.
You may proceed to PHASE 2 when your dog avoids going near the Training Flags when you approach and
actually turns to go back to the Roaming Area without your aid.

®
different non-metal collar above the Havahart

®
to the Probes on the Havahart

dog when you pull on the leash.
4.
Using the leash, walk your dog around inside the Roaming Area for
5 minutes, avoiding contact with the Trigger Zone.

6.

he will hear a short tone and then receive a static correction.
7.

receiving the static correction.

Gently shake a Training Flag to remind your dog that the flags are
associated with the short tone and static correction coming from
the Collar.
9.

10.
Repeat this process at a few Training Flags.
11.
If your dog does not respond to the static correction, check to make sure that the Havahart
properly (see Page 26). If your dog continues to not respond to the static correction, you may need to
increase the static correction to level 2 or higher as necessary.
12.
End with lots of playtime and praise for your dog in the Roaming Area at least 10 feet away from the
Training Flags.
®
13.
Be sure to remove the Havahart
Wireless Collar from your dog after each training session.
14.
You may proceed to PHASE 3 when your dog avoids going near any of the Training Flags.
If your dog does not respond to the static correction.
•
Make sure the static correction level is set to 1 or above.
®
•
Test the Havahart
Wireless Collar with the Heart-Shaped Collar Tester to confirm static correction.
•
If the Tester lights up when you cross into the Trigger Zone, check the fit of the Havahart
on your dog.
•
If necessary, trim your dog's hair where the Probes touch the neck and/or switch to the Long Probes.
•
Increase the static correction by one level.
!
IMPORTANT MESSAGE
®
Do not force your dog to receive too
many static corrections as this may
make your dog nervous or anxious. It
may be necessary to decrease the speed
of the training schedule or add more
training days if your dog seems to be
under stress.
If your dog leaves the Roaming Area, he
will be corrected on the way out only.
Your dog will NOT be corrected when
returning to the Roaming Area from
outside the Trigger Zone.
