Receiver Collar Familiarity; On-Lead Training Method - Petsafe Deluxe PCF-1000-20 Manual De Funcionamiento

Receiver Collar Familiarity

Goal:
To familiarize your cat with the Receiver Collar if he has not worn one before.
Steps:
1. Fit the Receiver Collar as detailed in Step 9 of this guide, but without batteries inserted, so there is no chance of
your cat receiving a correction at this early stage.
2. Reward your cat for allowing you to put on the Receiver Collar and leave him for a short period of time (5 - 15
minutes). Gradually increase the time your cat spends wearing the Receiver Collar to an hour or more.
3. Your cat is ready to move on to Phase 1 when you observe him behaving normally (e.g., grooming, eating,
sleeping, showing affection) while wearing the Receiver Collar.
Days 1 thru 2 – Boundary Awareness - Warning Zone
Phase
1
Perform three or four training sessions per day, each lasting 10 – 15 minutes.
Important:
• Your cat MUST stay in a harness for training, to allow for any unpredictable response. The harness also
gives you control to guide your cat to a "place of safety" within the Pet Area once warned or corrected
by the Receiver Collar.
• If your cat attempts to leave the Pet Area, make sure he does not get past the Boundary Flags. Never
let the cat past the Boundary Flags with or without the Receiver Collar on. If your cat thinks he can
pass the Boundary Flags, training will take longer.
Goal:
To teach your cat to associate the beep with the position of the Warning Zone.
Steps:
1. Set the Receiver Collar to Level 1 (Tone Only).
2. Put the harness and lead on your cat. Lead him into the Pet Area and up to a chosen point by the Boundary Flags.
3. Holding the Receiver Collar near your cat's ears, lead him into the Warning Zone.
4. As the beep sounds, urgently say "run away, run away" while pulling your cat on the harness into the Pet Area.
Praise and give affection to your cat.
5. Connect the response to the beep with the Boundary Flag response by carrying a spare Boundary Flag. Produce
the Boundary Flag and wave it at the point the Receiver Collar starts to beep.
6. Repeat the process at several different Boundary Flags.
7. As you repeatedly lead your cat to the Boundary Flags and the warning beep sounds, you should notice some
_____________________________________________________ reluctance from him, and he should try to move away.
Days 3 thru 7 - Boundary Awareness - Static
Phase
Correction Zone
2
Perform three or four training sessions per day, each lasting 10 – 15 minutes.
Important:
• Your cat MUST stay in a harness for training, to allow for any unpredictable response. The harness also
gives you control to guide your cat to a "place of safety" within the Pet Area once warned or corrected
by the Receiver Collar.
• If your cat attempts to leave the Pet Area, make sure he does not get past the Boundary Flags. Never
let the cat past the Boundary Flags with or without the Receiver Collar on. If your cat thinks he can
pass the Boundary Flags, training will take longer.
