Setup:
• Program the Static Correction Level on the Receiver Collar depending on the size and temperament of your pet.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet's neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar and attach a lead. Note: Be sure
the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
• Have tiny pieces of treats available (hot dogs or lunch meat work well).
• Have your pet's favorite play toy available.
• Create distractions to tempt your pet to enter the Boundary Zone, such as:
- Have a family member cross from inside the Pet Area to outside of it.
- Throw a ball outside of the Pet Area.
- Have a neighbor walk their pet outside of the Pet Area.
Steps:
1. With full control of your pet on a lead, have the distraction presented.
2. If your pet does not move toward the distraction, praise and offer a treat.
3. If your pet does react to the distraction, allow him to go into the Boundary Zone.
4. Help your pet back into the Pet Area if he does not turn back after 3 seconds.
5. Treat and praise your pet anytime he comes back into the Pet Area with or without help.
6. Repeat this process with other distractions. Use other family members during this process.
7. If your pet does not respond to the Static Correction, increase the Static Correction Level by 1.

Taking Your Pet Out of the Pet Area

Important: Remove the Receiver Collar and leave it in the Pet Area.
Once your pet learns the Boundary Zone, he will be reluctant to cross it for walks or car
rides.
Option 1: Replace the Receiver Collar with a regular collar. Put your pet in a car that is
within the Pet Area and drive him out of the Pet Area.
Option 2: Replace the Receiver Collar with a regular collar and lead. Walk your pet out
of the Pet Area while giving a command such as "OK" at a specific place of the Boundary
Zone (the end of your driveway, sidewalk, etc.). Always leave the Pet Area with a lead
at this place and your pet will associate leaving the Pet Area only on a lead, only at this
place, and only with a person. You may initially need to convince your pet to leave the Pet
Area with a food treat and lots of praise.
Note: You may also carry your pet out of the Pet Area.
