solid barrier.
• Have fun with your pet throughout the training process. 

Training should  be fun, fair, firm and consistent. 

• Train for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Don’t 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 how he learns, the training could take 

more or less time.

• 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

 

-Tail down

 

-Body lowered

 

-Nervous / frantic movement or stiffening of pet’s body

• 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 feet 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.).

• During training, 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.

• Even if you think your pet is responding well to the training, complete the entire 

training. Reinforcement is important!
