Phase 1
Day 1—Tone-only Training for Boundary Awareness
Perform 3 training sessions per day, each lasting 10–15 minutes.
Goal:
To have your pet learn that the boundary flags and warning tone from the
receiver collar define the new pet area.
Setup:
• Program the static correction level on the receiver collar to level 1,
which is tone-only training mode.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck below the
receiver collar and attach a leash.
Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the contact points.
• Have small pieces of your pet’s favorite treats available.
• Have your pet’s favorite play toy available.
Steps:
1. Begin by walking your pet on a leash in the pet area. Calmly praise
and talk to your pet.
2. Move toward the boundary flags (12A). Your pet reads your energy
so keep your mood happy.
3. With full control of your pet on a leash, walk past the flags (12B).
Allow your pet to stay in the static correction zone for up to 2 seconds
then gently help him or her back into the pet area (12C). Immediately
praise and offer your pet a treat as he or she enters the pet area, even
if you have helped with the leash.
Note: Pulling on the leash is not as effective as encouraging your pet
to come when called.
4. Repeat this process at the same boundary flag until your pet resists
going into the static correction zone.
5. Aim to master 3–4 boundary flags per session. Make this FUN! Praise
your pet if he or she quickly retreats or resists going into the static
correction zone. Note: Never treat your pet or allow them to eat a
treat in the static correction zone.
