Chasing 

Chasing is an instinctive behavior 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 leash 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. If your dog has not learned the “Come” command, keep a leash on him so you can physically 

stop him before he reaches the object he is chasing.

2. Choose the Intensity Level 1 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 leash with a fi rm grip. As 

soon as your dog begins to chase the object, press and hold the Stimulation Button until he 
stops

5. When your dog stops chasing the object, immediately release the button, walk backwards and 

give the command “Come.” Praise your dog as he comes to you.

6. Repeat the process until your dog stops chasing the object.

Trash Raiding

The easiest way to prevent trash raiding is to remove garbage and tempting food from your pet’s 
environment. You can use the Remote Trainer to teach your pet to stay away from these items; 
however, you must be prepared to correct your pet every time he approaches them.

1. Choose the Intensity Level 1 higher than your 

pet’s Recognition Level.

2. Pick a temptation for your pet and position 

yourself where he cannot see you.

3. While your pet’s mouth is touching the 

temptation, press and hold the Stimulation 
Button. Immediately release the button when 
your pet leaves the temptation.

4. Do not say anything, as you want your pet to associate the stimulation with his behavior, not you.
5. If your pet does not respond to the stimulation, increase the Intensity Level by 1 and repeat the 

process.

6. Repeat this process in several different locations with different temptations.
