Training Guide

Be Patient With Your Pet

Important: Proper training of your pet is essential to the success of the PetSafe
Read this section completely before beginning to train your pet. Remember that the PetSafe
Fence System is not a solid barrier.
™
• Have fun with your pet throughout the training process. Training should be fun, fair, firm and consistent.
• Train for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Don't try to do too much too quickly. More-frequent short sessions are better than less-
frequent longer sessions.
• If your pet shows signs of stress, slow down the training schedule, add additional days of training, or increase the amount of
play time with your pet in the Pet Area. Common stress signals include:
• Pet pulling on lead toward the house
• Ears tucked
• Tail down
• Body lowered
• Nervous / frantic movement or stiffening of pet's body
• Your pet must be completely comfortable near the Boundary Flags at the end of every training session. Spend at least 5
minutes of "play time" at the completion of each session within 3 m of the Boundary Flags.
• Finish each training session on a positive note with lots of praise and play.
• Remove the Receiver Collar after each training session.
• Be sure to contain your pet by another means during the training period (e.g. pen, tie-out, lead, etc.).
• During training, if you need to take your pet out of the Pet Area, remove the Receiver Collar and either pick your pet up or
put him in the car to pass out of the Pet Area.
• Even if you think your pet is responding well to the training, complete the entire training. Reinforcement is important!
PHASE 1

Day 1 - Boundary Awareness

Perform three training sessions per day, each lasting 10-15 minutes.
Goal:
To have your pet learn that the Boundary Flags and warning beep from the Receiver Collar defines the new Pet Area.
Setup:
• Program the Static Stimulation Level on the Receiver Collar to Level 1 Tone Only training mode.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet's neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar and attach a lead.
Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
• Have tiny pieces of treats that your pet will find desirable available.
• Have your pet's favourite play toy available.
