1.5 Train Dogs to be Calm at

the Door, or Other Distracting

Situations

Item 1: Dog bed or small rug where you

will send your dog.

You’ll be sending your dog to a specific

spot or place on cue. The best type of

“place” to use is a surface that’s large

enough for your dog to comfortably lie

down. Some examples include a dog bed or

a small rug. Throughout this program, we

will refer to the bed or rug as a rug.

If you have a rug that your dog is already

used to lying on, make sure there has been

no history of yelling or forcing him onto the

rug; otherwise the training may take much

longer.

We want your dog to think of the rug and

machine as a special treat only available

for a limited time. If they're available

whenever he wants, then he may learn

that it’s okay to get off at-will because he

can just get back on to receive his reward

later on. In fact, in the clinical trial testing

of this product, some owners accidentally

trained their dogs to run to the door to see

the guest, then to go back at their leisure

in order to get a treat.

Item 2: Choose the final location for the

rug.

Ultimately, this spot will be located about 3-10 feet from the door and within sight

of the door or distracting location. During early practice sessions you can put it in

a more convenient practice location.

1.6 Other Uses for the Treat&Train™ System

Besides the uses described here, the Treat&Train™ system has a limitless number

of uses. For more information and to see videos, visit www.treatntrain.com.

1.3 Training Dogs to Be Calm

and Quiet in Other Distracting

Situations

Fortunately, the Treat&Train™ system’s

step-by-step program for training dogs to

lie calmly in the face of high distractions

can be used for many types of situations

where we need dogs to remain calm.

Examples include:

• in the car,

• in a travel carrier, crate or kennel, or

separated in another room,

• at dinnertime when everyone wants to eat in peace, and

• whenever you want Fido present with you but calm and quiet.

1.4 Training is Divided Into Five Games

The Treat&Train™ system program for training dogs to be calm in high distraction

situations is broken into five core games. Each of these game takes an average of 1-5

days to complete. You can practice in short 10- to 20-minute sessions. Train during low

stress times such as during TV commercial breaks so that you can keep the sessions

short, fun, and relaxing. End sessions while both you and your dog are still having fun.

• Game 1: Tone means a treat is coming: In this game, the dog learns that the

tone from the machine means a treats is coming. All dogs need to go through

this stage of training.

• Game 2: Targeting: Here Fido learns that if he runs and touches his nose to a

target, he’ll hear the tone, which means he can run and get his food reward.

This game is important for several reasons. 1) It's helpful for training dogs to

run to their specific spot on cue where they can lie down. This way you don't

have to walk with them to their rug. 2) it will help break up the repetitiveness

of the Down-stay and Down-stay with distractions games (Games 3 and 5),

and 3) it’s also a useful behavior for teaching many tricks, training dogs to

heel, and for providing exercise.

• Game 3: Down-stay: This is the first game that rewards Fido for lying down on

a rug or other specified location.

• Game 4: Place: This game teaches your dog to run to a rug or bed on cue to

lie down.

• Game 5: Down-stay with distractions: In Game 3, dogs learn to remain lying

down on a rug. To lie down in the face of distractions, such as people running

around, toys bouncing, and doorbells ringing, most dogs have to go through

Game 5, too. As an added bonus, the steps that we go through to teach dogs

to ignore these distractions are also useful for training dogs to enjoy things

that they used to dislike—such as being groomed.

Once these games are completed, you have the option to fade the machine out so

that you don’t need it anymore.

Train during low stress times

such as during TV commercials.

Keep the sessions short,

fun and relaxing.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Until you’ve completed the entire

training program, only keep the

Treat&Train™ system and the rug

out during training sessions.
