Preparation

Your goal is to train your cat to turn away from the Boundary Zone every time he hears the warning beep from the

Receiver Collar.

During training, your cat must develop an understanding of the Boundary and that you require him to remain within it.

Cats are independent creatures. In order to gain the correct response, you must always work with a kind, calm and

respectful฀manner.฀Gain฀your฀cat’s฀trust฀and฀you฀will฀build฀a฀mutual฀respect฀which฀will฀ultimately฀lead฀to฀success.

It must be remembered that by their very nature cats are more agile and therefore more mobile than dogs. You

must be very aware of your training environment. If it is possible for your cat to climb on a shed or up a tree, taking

the Receiver Collar out of reach of the signal from the Boundary Wire, then it is possible that he could jump the

Boundary without receiving a Static Correction.

The time scale for fully training your cat can range from one to two weeks. During the training period, you should

be able to detect from your cat’s response if it is time to move on to the next training phase.
