Give him some treats from your hand before using the Treat Dispenser. As he quiets and gives you good behavior give a treat from the Dispenser. Secure the Treat Dispenser at a level on wall higher than your dog can reach. :: Make sure your dog is motivated with desirable treats/kibble before training begins. Change the treats/kibble until the value of the treat is worth the work. :: Don’t punish your pet for mistakes. This can only confuse your dog. If you notice he's about to pee in an inappropriate place, move him to the pee pad. Nutritionally Balanced Diet for Your Dog It is important that your dog is already on a nutritionally balanced feeding program before you begin using the Treat Dispenser. If you are using dry dog food/kibble, ensure they are the correct size and can be used in the Treat Dispenser for training. NOTE: If you free feed your dog, and he shows no interest in the kibble from the Treat Dispenser, change to specific meal feeding times during the day while training with the Treat Dispenser. This should make the dispensed kibble more enticing. If you use treats instead of kibble, your training sessions should be over a longer number of days and the total calorie intake should be subtracted from your dog’s daily intake of food. For most dogs, treats should make up less than 10% of a dog’s daily food intake. Training Sessions Although we typically take our dogs outside to eliminate, it is sometimes necessary to provide an indoor potty area. This will require a minimum of four (estimated 10 – 15 minute) training sessions throughout a full day of your time with your dog over 2 – 4 week period. Your patience and direct supervision is critical to the success of the Train 'n Praise Potty Training System. If you have more than one dog, train each dog separately with no distractions by other pets, small children or any other interruptions. Training will begin without the Treat Dispenser and Pee Pad Clip. These will be introduced gradually. Please read all training steps before starting. ™ Step 1 Introducing Moisture Detection Pads 1. With the Treat Dispenser turned off, place or coax your dog onto a Train 'n Praise Pee Pad. It is best to choose the typical times dogs need to eliminate when on a regular nutritionally balanced diet. Be consistent by placing or coaxing your dog on a pee pad right after your dog wakes up in the morning, after eating or drinking, after playtime, after napping and before going to bed. Each time your dog is on the pee pad is considered a training session. ™ 12 Customer Care Center 1-800-732-2677 2. During the first couple of training sessions say a cue word as in “potty time” or “bathroom” and give a treat/kibble by hand when your dog is on the center of the pad. Keep your dog on the pee pad by giving treats/kibble until he is comfortable and familiar with the feel of the pee pad. Use the same treat/ kibble by hand as you will use later in the Treat Dispenser. Step 2 Training with Handheld Remote The next step is introducing treats/kibble using the Handheld Remote and Treat Dispenser. Place the Treat Dispenser within range of the pee pad. Determine whether you are using the tone. Continue placing your dog on the pee pad. After your dog eliminates on the pee pad wait 10 seconds before pressing the Handheld Remote. Ensure he gets the treats/kibble. In addition, wait at least 20 minutes before the next training session as both of these specific time allowances will sequence your pet to fully relieve bladder and not pee a little to get a treat and “trick” the system, thus resulting in a conditioned training behavior/ positive reward routine. Also, the specific times designed for the Train 'n Praise Potty Training System will provide adequate time for the pee pad’s top layer to dry before the next use. Using the audible tone on the Treat Dispenser to alert the dog will also reinforce the positive reward. 1. When your dog eliminates on the pad (only on the absorbent section area) use the Handheld Remote to release a treat/kibble from the Treat Dispenser and do not use or show treats/kibble in your hand any longer. 2. Continue to place or coax your dog onto a Train 'n Praise Moisture Detection Pee Pad several times during the day and multiple days until the dog starts to go to the pee pad without your assistance or your verbal cues. It is important to continue to supervise during these training sessions to use the Handheld Remote to release a treat in a timely manner stated above. Consistency and patience during this time, just like any other type of training will be key to moving to the next training step and ultimately, successful indoor housetraining. Do not give a treat when the dog goes outside of the absorbent pee pad area. Train to only allow a treat when used properly and not allowing a treat when the pad is missed will give you the desired results. 3. The pee pads are 100% disposable to keep clean-up easy and hassle free. It is recommended to use one pee pad per day, per dog and replace each night or first thing in the morning. Depending on use, a new pee pad must be replaced when it is full. Conveniently pull the pee pad together and toss in the garbage and lay down a new pee pad. ™ ™ Step 3 Training With Pee Pad Clip After your dog is consistently using the pee pad and taking treats/kibble that you dispense using the Handheld Remote, you are ready for the last step. The water-resistant, removable Pee Pad Clip is a wireless transmitter that works similar to the Handheld Remote. It is designed to send a signal to the Treat Dispenser when the pee pad detects moisture and is already programmed to wait 10 seconds before a treat/kibble is released. In addition, it is scheduled to wait at least 20 minutes before another signal can be given to the Treat Dispenser. The specific times designed for the Train 'n Praise Potty Training System will provide adequate time for the pee pad top layer to dry before the next use. You can decide to continue the audible tone on the Treat Dispenser to alert the dog, reinforcing the positive reward, as if you were there and using the Handheld Remote. 1. Following the instructions on page 10, add the Pee Pad Clip to the Moisture Detection Pee Pad within range of the Treat Dispenser. 2. After the Pee Pad Clip is attached, continue to monitor your pet 2-3 more times to ensure he is using the pee pad, the Treat Dispenser is releasing treats/kibble, and he is eating them. ™ www.petsafe.net 13 3. Most dogs learn within a 2-4 week period to use the Train 'n Praise Potty Training System because the treat/kibble is dispensed and they are rewarded consistently for going in the right place. After following these recommendations, your dog should be consistently using the pee pad properly. This will allow you to have peace of mind that your dog is demonstrating good dog behavior when you are away for periods of time. ™ Tips :: The Train 'n Praise Potty Training System has technology to show you when the batteries are low on the Treat Dispenser or the Pee Pad Clip. It is important to notice the low battery LED lights and change batteries before they have expired, keeping a well maintained system and turning housetraining into a happy solution. :: The Treat Dispenser works with up to 10 Moisture Detection Pee Pads and Pee Pad Clips (sold separately). :: The Train 'n Praise Moisture Detection Pee Pads are 100% disposable to keep clean-up easy and hassle free. The Pee Pad Clip is water resistant, removable and can be wiped off to keep clean. The Pee Pad Clip has to be properly attached to a Train 'n Praise Moisture Detection Pee Pad as stated in the setup section and reattached to a new pee pad every time. It is recommended to use one pee pad per day, per dog and replace each night or first thing in the morning. Depending on use, a pee pad must be replaced when it is full. After removing the Pee Pad Clip, conveniently pull the pee pad together and toss in the garbage. Wipe off the Pee Pad Clip and reattach to a new pee pad. Lay both the Pee Pad Clip and pee pad down ready to be used when your dog needs it. ™ ™ ™ Teaching Your Pet the Audible Tone The Treat Dispenser includes an audible tone that can be used for additional training. The tone is turned on by default from the factory. Using the Handheld Remote and Treat Dispenser, spend 10-15 minutes a day for a few days to teach your dog the association. Most dogs quickly learn a treat follows the tone. 1. Before teaching your dog the tone, use the Tone Switch on the back of the dispenser (see page 5) to turn the tone off. 2. Place treats/kibble in front of the Treat Dispenser. After he eats them, repeat adding more treats/kibble. 3. If your dog is comfortable with the Treat Dispenser, press the button on the Handheld Remote and dispense the treats/kibble. Continue until your dog is comfortable taking the food from the Treat Dispenser. 4. Turn the tone on using the Tone Switch on the back of the dispenser. 5. Press the Handheld Remote button and dispense the treats/kibble. Repeat 6-8 times. Your dog will learn the treats follow the tone! Additional Training The PetSafe Train 'n Praise Moisture Detection Pee Pads have been designed to be an innovative aid to housebreaking, however with the addition of the Handheld Remote it can be used to reinforce other good behaviors at home. We recommend your dog be fully trained using the Treat Dispenser with the pad before other training begins. NOTE: Please ensure the Treat Dispenser and pee pads are not together before doing the additional training. ® 14 ™ Customer Care Center 1-800-732-2677 Teaching Basic Obedience Place 1. Ensure your dog’s bed (a simple mat or blanket will also work) is in close proximity to the Train 'n Praise Treat Dispenser. 2. Ensure the Treat Dispenser is on and ready for use. 3. Using a leash, lead your dog to his spot while repeating the “Place” command. 4. While continuing to hold the leash, dispense treats/kibble and praise your dog as soon as he has all four paws on the surface of the bed. 5. Repeat steps three and four for up to ten minutes before giving your dog a training break. ™ Stay 1. Repeat PLACE steps three and four until you are confident your dog associates going to his place with receiving treats/kibble. 2. With your dog on his place, let go of (but do not remove) the leash. 3. Slowly begin adding distance by backing away, no more than four feet in the beginning, repeating the “Stay” command. 4. If your dog begins to follow while you add space, quickly grab the leash, lead him back to his place, and begin adding space again. 5. For every “Stay” command that is obeyed while you back away, dispense treats/kibble and praise your dog. 6. When you are confident your dog understands “Stay,” lengthen the duration of the stay and diminish the frequency of treat dispensing. 7. Using the leash, lead your dog off his place while repeating “Release,” communicating that the “Stay” is over. 8. Combine and repeat PLACE and STAY exercises in ten-minute training sessions for 4-5 days until the dog understands. Work to build up to a 15 minute “Stay.” 9. After your pet stays reliably on receiving the “Stay” command, training for this behavior is complete. 10. Release your pet from his place and praise him verbally. 11. Practice this in several different areas and use different people or guest for distractions. Eliminating Unwanted Behavior Jumping Up Pets typically jump up to get attention. If you do not want your pet to jump on you, then friends or members of the family should not encourage this behavior. That means every time your pet jumps on someone, he should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable behavior for which he can receive praise. 1. Ensure the Treat Dispenser is on and ready to use. 2. As soon as your pet lifts his paws off the ground to jump on you (or a guest) press the Handheld Remote button and dispense the treats/kibble. 3. Immediately praise him after he eats the treats/kibble. 4. Practice this in several different areas and use different people or guest for distractions. NOTE: You (or your guest) should stand completely stationary and not give the dog any attention during this training. Continue to dispense treats/kibble until your dog goes to the Treat Dispenser. Your dog will learn he doesn’t get attention until he stops jumping. www.petsafe.net 15 Begging Begging can be annoying and disruptive. If you don’t want your pet to beg, then friends or members of the family should not encourage this behavior. This means every time your pet begs, he should be reprimanded or redirected to an alternate and acceptable behavior, for which he can receive praise. 1. Ensure the Treat Dispenser is on and ready to use. 2. As soon as your pet begins to beg, press the Handheld Remote button and dispense the treats/kibble. 3. Immediately praise him after he eats the treats/kibble. 4. Practice this several times. Be consistent. Your dog will learn to redirect his focus from begging to the Treat Dispenser. NOTE: Ensure you ignore your dog at the table. Don’t make eye contact when he is begging. Keep the remote with you each time you are going to be in situations where your dog begs. Optional Treat Dispenser Wall Mounting A mounting template is located on the back cover of this guide. In order to ensure stability when mounting the Treat Dispenser, be sure to follow all instructions. Note: It is important that the Treat Dispenser is level when mounted. Follow leveling instructions if mounting about floor level. Be sure to use the included anchors if there is no stud to avoid damage to your wall or the Treat Dispenser. 1. If mounting the Treat Dispenser at floor level, fold at the line shown on the template (located on the back cover of this guide). 2. Place the fold flush with the floor and place removable tape on the template so it doesn’t move during drilling. 3. If mounting on the wall above floor level, pick your desired location. Hold a level at the top of the template and lightly mark with a pencil. Align the template top to the pencil marks and use removable tape to keep the template in place during drilling. 4. If mounting the Treat Dispenser into a stud, use a 3/32” drill bit. 5. If using the included wall anchors to mount the Treat Dispenser, use a 1/4” drill bit. 6. Remove the template and install wall anchors in the holes. 7. Tap wall anchors flush with a hammer if necessary. 8. Place the screw in the standoff and screw into the anchors or wall stud (3A), making sure the standoff is flush against the wall. Note: It is necessary to use the screws AND the standoffs to allow enough space for the Hopper lid to open when filling the Treat Dispenser. 9. Align the screw heads with the lower portion of the mounting keyholes on the Treat Dispenser (3B). When all three are aligned, gently slide the Treat Dispenser onto the screw heads and then slide downward to secure the screw heads into the smaller upper portion of the mounting keyholes (3C). 16 Customer Care Center 1-800-732-2677 3A WALL 3B WALL WALL 3C Frequently Asked Questions :: Training can begin as soon as your puppy begins eating dry treats/ How old does my dog have to be before using the kibble and is weaned.
