• Only present the scary or irritating object or activity while Fido’s eating from
the Treat&Train™ system. You have to make sure he’s comfortable enough
around the “distraction” at the onset. Make sure you always present the
“distraction” BELOW the level of intensity that will make Fido pay attention.
Ideally he continues to eat when the distraction is presented.
• Unlike the down-stay with distractions protocol, you may decide to put the
machine on multi-treat and dispense every 10 seconds. This will give you a
longer amount of time to make sure Fido’s eating and then to present, the
stimulus and remove it before he’s finished eating.
• While you don’t absolutely need to have Fido in a down-stay when you are
training him to ignore or “enjoy” the distraction, you will have best control of
him when he’s in a down-stay.
In situations where Fido is reactive to discrete situations that are difficult to mimic,
you can still use the same type of program. For instance, if your dog is reactive in
the car but only when you go through a tollbooth or drive-through you can still
follow the down-stay with distractions, protocol’s general approach. But in this
case, since you don’t have as much control over the length of the distraction,
you’ll dispense treats continuously the entire time the distraction is present, and
try to keep the interaction as short as possible. Repeat this as many times as you
can, given his daily allotment of food.
15.4 Use the Treat&Train™ System for Exercise and
Mental Stimulation
We’ve already learned one game that required Fido to get up and run—that
was Game 2: Targeting. Now you can place the target in its base so it stands on
its own and place it far from the Treat&Train™ system base unit. Start with a
distance you know Fido is willing to travel to touch the target and to get his food.
Then gradually increase the distance so he has to run farther. Now you have a
controlled way to have Fido sprint outside or in the house.
Your dog shouldn't be sprinting and eating at the same time -
this could cause choking/retching.
You can also train other running games. For instance, it’s easy to train a dog to
sprint to a tree, run around it and come back to you. If you need a game for rainy
days inside the house, you can train your dog using the Treat&Train™ system to
take a lap around the furniture or through the house.
15.5 Train Behaviors at a Distance
One of the huge benefits of the Treat&Train™ system is that it allows you to
provide your dog rewards away from you. Because dogs tend to go where rewards
are dispensed it can be especially beneficial for training behaviors such as:
• agility and obedience go outs.
• agility contacts.
• obedience and hunting dog directional retrieves.
• tricks such as putting toys into a basket (where you start with the system in
the basket).
• good behavior when in another room.
• performing focused tasks in the absence of humans (such as for military or
other operational work).
