lunch meat work well).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Have your pet’s favorite play toy available.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Steps:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Walk your pet on a leash in the Pet Area. Calmly praise and talk to your pet,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

occasionally giving him treats..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Allow your pet to move toward the Boundary Flags.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. When your pet enters the Warning Zone, the Receiver Collar will activate and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

start beeping. As your pet continues past the flags into the Static Correction Zone

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(11A), he will receive a Static Correction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Immediately after your pet receives a correction, lead him back into the Pet Area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Praise him warmly, keep very calm body language, and offer him a treat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5.Repeat this process at the same Boundary Flag until your pet resists going into the static correction zone. Never pull or call your pet into the Static Correction Zone. Lead him to the Boundary Flags, and if he decides to not move past the flags, he is learning the system.

Goal:

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

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

Steps:
