When you can put the Treat&Train™ system up to 10 feet away from the rug and
say “place” and he goes to the correct location, you’ve successfully removed the
need for the system during this exercise. However, you’ll probably want to use the
system periodically to brush up on his behavior.
14.4 Method 2: Removing the Treat&Train™ System and
Rewarding by Hand
An alternative to Method 1 is to put the Treat&Train™ system away and start
giving treats by hand.
Step 1: First stand in the room with the rug you’ve been using for his “place”
exercises. Then tell Fido “place” and walk him over to his rug. Once he lies down,
reward with treats by hand at variable intervals of 3 seconds to one minute. Then
call him off and repeat.
Step 2: Next, switch to walking only partway towards the rug. Say “place” and
head to the rug, but stop ½ or ¾ of the way before you reach it. Once he gets to
the rug, you can tell him to lie down if he doesn’t lie down on his own. Give him a
second or two to lie down on his own first, before you try a verbal cue. Repeat until
he can run to the rug and lie down on cue or automatically (depending on what
you want as your end goal) 9 out of 10 times in a row.
Step 3: When Fido consistently goes all the way to the rug even though you have
stopped, and lies down automatically or on verbal cue, then switch to walking only
a step or two towards the rug when you say “place.” Or, stand stationary and see if
he will go to the rug on his own. When he can reliably (9 out of 10 times in a row)
run to and do a down-stay on the rug when you are standing 10 feet away you
have successfully faded out the machine.
Remember that if you do this when people come to the door, you may need to give
him treats rapidly at first for the first few visits. If you do this consistently you’ll be
able to wean him off the treats quickly too.

Fading Out the Treat&Train™ System
15.1 Overview
15.2 Apply the Treat&Train™ System Program to Similar Situations
15.3 Use the General Approach Introduced in Down-Stay With Distractions
15.4 Use the Treat&Train™ System for Exercise and Mental Stimulation
15.5 Train Behaviors at a Distance
15.1 Overview
Now that you’ve finished the entire program, what else can you use the
Treat&Train™ system for? This chapter describes a few of these uses, such as
training your dog to lie calmly in other situations, or to enjoy activities he formerly
disliked. You can also use it to train behaviors at a distance and as a great tool to
exercise and stimulate your dog. The possibilities are truly endless and using the
system can reduce training time. To see videos showing some of these and other
uses, visit www.treatntrain.com.
15.2 Apply the Treat&Train™ System Program to Similar
Situations
If you’ve taken your dog through the entire program already, just use it in a
slightly different situation such as training Fido to lie down calmly:
• In the car;
• In a travel carrier, crate or kennel;
• When separated in another room;
• At dinnertime on a rug when everyone wants to eat in peace;
• In any room where you would like Fido to be calm, quiet, and out of the way
despite high activity;
• On a rug when people are leaving the house or the door is open and you want
Fido to stay inside.
NOTE: For "less-challenging" dogs, you can sometimes reward them for being less
calm in the situations above, without requiring them to learn to lie down calmly.
15.3 Use the General Approach Introduced in Down-Stay with
Distractions
Once you’re familiar with the down-stay with distractions game, you can use
the same protocol to train Fido to enjoy (or at least be neutral towards) things
he dislikes or is afraid or reactive to. These activities or objects might include
grooming, drying, or handling the feet, or introducing him to inanimate objects
that might scare him. We will refer to the activity or object as “the distraction.” Follow
these tips, which are essential for success.
