Training Guide
Important: Proper training of your pet is essential to the success of the

completely before beginning to train your pet. Remember that this PetSafe

system is not a solid barrier.
• Pets respond to our emotions. You should stay upbeat and have fun
with your pet throughout the training process.
• Train for 15 minutes or less at a time. Do not try to do too much too
quickly. More-frequent short sessions are better than less-frequent
longer sessions.
• We suggest a minimum of 14 days of training. Depending on your pet
and your consistency, the training could take more or less time.
• Always have small pieces of your pet’s favorite treats readily at hand.
Promptly reward your pet for good behavior. If your pet goes crazy for
a certain ball or toy, use that instead or in addition. Never treat your
pet or allow them to eat a treat in the static correction zone.
• If your pet shows signs of stress, slow down the training schedule, add
additional days of training or increase the amount of play time with
your pet in the pet area. Common stress signals include:
- Pet pulling on leash toward the house
- Ears tucked or pulled back
- Tail down or tucked between legs
- Body lowered
- Nervous/frantic movement or stiffening of pet’s body
- Lip-licking or yawning
• Your pet must be completely comfortable near the boundary flags at the end of every training session. Spend at least 5 minutes of “play time” at the
completion of each session within 10 ft. of the boundary flags.
• Finish each training session on a positive note with lots of praise and play.
• Remove the receiver collar after each training session.
• Be sure to contain your pet by another means during the training period (e.g. pen, tie-out, leash, etc.). 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. The goal is for your pet to
associate leaving the pet area only with you.
• Even if you think your pet is responding well to the training, complete the entire training. Consistency is key.
