Days 2 thru 4 - Continue

Boundary Awareness

Introduction to Static Correction

Perform three sessions per day, each lasting 10-15 minutes.
Goal:

To train your pet to stay in the Pet Area and respect the boundary.
Setup:

• Program the Static Correction Level on the Receiver Collar to Level 2.

• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar and

attach a leash.

Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.

• Have tiny pieces of treats available (hot dogs or lunch meat work well).

• Have your pet’s favorite play toy available.
Steps:

1. Repeat steps 1-5 in Phase One.

2. If your pet does not respond to the Static Correction, confirm that the Receiver

Collar is fitting properly according to Step 6 on page 13.

3. If the Receiver Collar is fitted properly and your pet does not respond to the Static

Correction, increase the Static Correction Level by 1. Watch for slight reactions at

first such as ears up, head turned, looking at the ground.

4. Stay at the same flag until your pet resists going into the Boundary Zone.

Days 5 thru 8 - Distraction Phase

Perform three training sessions per day, each lasting 10 to 15 minutes.
Goal:

To train your pet to stay within the Pet Area with distractions outside of the Pet Area.
Setup:

• Program the Static Correction Level on the Receiver Collar to level 2 or higher

depending on the reaction results from days 2 thru 4.

• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar and

attach a leash.

Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.

• Have tiny pieces of treats available (hot dogs or lunch meat work well).

• Have your pet’s favorite play toy available.

• Create distractions to tempt your pet to enter the Boundary Zone, such as:

-Have a family member cross from inside the Pet Area to outside of it.

-Throw a ball or treat outside of the Pet Area.

-Have a neighbor walk their pet outside of the Pet Area.

• Gradually increase distraction level. Never coax or call your pet out of the Pet Area.
