Days 9–30
Once your pet consistently respects the boundary zone regardless of
distractions or temptations, he is ready for the next step: unleashed supervision
(7D). Stay close by with a leash at hand. Play with your pet for a while during
the first few sessions. If your dog does not try to cross the boundary zone,
occupy yourself with another task in the garden and allow him to freely explore.
Continue watching your pet. If he escapes, remove the collar and lead him back
into the pet area. Start these sessions at around 15 minutes and gradually work
up to an hour or more.
When your pet proves trustworthy, you can let him out on his own. Continue
to check on him regularly. You can remove every other boundary flag every
4 days until all the flags are removed. Save them in case you move or need
to train another pet.
Taking Your Pet Out of the Pet Area
Important:
Remove the receiver collar and leave it at home.
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 (7E).
Option 2:
Replace the receiver collar with a regular collar and a leash. Walk your pet out
of the pet area while giving a command such as "OK" at a specific place along
the boundary zone (the end of your driveway, pavement, etc.). Always leave the
pet area from the same spot in your garden with a leash and your pet will associate leaving the pet area only on a leash, only at this spot and
only with a person. You may initially need to convince your pet to leave the pet area with a treat and lots of praise.
Note:
You may also carry your pet out of the pet area.
Congratulations! You have now completed the training programme. You are both ready to enjoy more freedom. Just make sure to continue
to check the tightness of the receiver collar and remove it when it is not in use.

containment of your pet. Re-establish the pet area and mark it with boundary flags so your pet knows his boundary zone. Place the transmitter
indoors at least 1 m from large metal objects.
Note: If setting up in a metal building or vehicle, the maximum size of the pet area may be reduced. Be sure to remove the receiver collar from
your pet before turning off the transmitter. If you want to power the transmitter from a car or other DC source, use an inverter rated for 50 watts
or more.
