• 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 sessions on day 1, each training session lasting 10 to15 minutes.
Goal:
To have your pet learn that the Boundary Flags and warning beep from the Receiver Collar defi ne 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 fi nd desirable available.
• Have your pet's favourite play toy available.
Steps:
1. Begin by walking your pet on a lead in the Pet Area. Calmly praise and talk to your pet.
2. Move toward the Boundary Flags (1A). Keep your mood happy.
3. With full control of your pet on a lead, walk to the fl ags. As your pet enters the Boundary Zone,
the Receiver Collar will begin to tone (1B). Allow your pet to stay in the Boundary Zone for up to
2 seconds then gently help him back into the Pet Area (1C). Immediately praise and offer your pet
a treat as he enters the Pet Area, even if you have helped with the lead.
4. Repeat this process at the same Boundary Flag until your pet resists going into the Boundary Zone.
5. Aim to master 3 to 4 Boundary Flags per session. Make this FUN! Praise if your pet quickly
retreats or resists going into the Boundary Zone.
