It is important to first understand why your pet is digging. Many dogs, such as terriers, were 

bred to flush out prey, and digging is very innate to them. Other pets may be digging to find a 

cool spot to lie down, or simply out of boredom. Your pet may no longer have the desire to dig 

if he is provided with the following:

• A cool, shaded area in which to lie down, and plenty of water.

• An alternate activity, such as a favorite toy.

• Plenty of play, exercise, and attention.

• A yard free from rodents or prey that he may be trying to flush out.

1. Choose the Stimulation Level one step higher than your pet’s Recognition Level.
2. Place the Receiver Collar on your pet and wait at least 10 minutes before placing him in the yard. 

No other people or pets should be in the yard, as you do not want your pet to associate the 

Correction with anything other than his digging. Your pet must be securely fenced in or contained 

during training.

3. From a window or area where your pet cannot see you, wait until your pet begins to dig.
4. While your pet digs, press and hold the Top Button (light blue) to deliver Vibration only, or the  

Middle Button (medium blue for the PDT00-12894 model) to deliver quick Vibration followed by 

controlled Static Stimulation, or the Bottom Button (dark blue on the PDT00-12894 model) to 

deliver a quick on/off Static Stimulation followed by controlled Static Stimulation. Release the 

button immediately when he stops digging.
