Training Guide - INVISIBLE FENCE Outdoor Shields Avoidance System Owner's Manual

• To avoid having a collar that is too tight on a thick-haired pet, thin some
hair away in order to allow correction posts to make contact with the skin.
Do not shave the pet's neck.
Tighten the collar strap of the Computer Collar unit appropriately. Adjust
the collar strap so it is snug enough to slide only one fi nger between the
correction posts and your pet's skin.
• Allow your pet to become accustomed to its new Computer Collar unit.
The collar must be removed each night during the fi rst month of training.
This ensures proper fi t, and avoids the possibility of skin irritation.
• The Computer Collar unit is waterproof. If the nylon collar strap becomes
wet, it is recommended that it be removed from your pet and be allowed to
air dry before replacing the collar on your pet's neck.
• You are now ready to begin your pet's fi rst training session.

• Use Invisible Fence Brand training fl ags to mark the outside of the signal fi eld range.
• This gives your pet a visual marker, similar to how it learned the signal fi eld range of the outdoor pet containment system.
• Allow your pet to enter the shielded area on its own. By already being familiar with the training fl ags and the warning tone,
your pet should react immediately, and back-up/move away from the shielded area. It may take several times for your pet to
recognize and avoid the shielded area.
• Praise your pet for leaving the shielded area.
• You may need to adjust the signal fi eld range so your pet receives the warning tone earlier
For pets new to the Invisible Fence
• Use Invisible Fence ® Brand training fl ags to mark the edge of the signal fi eld range.
This gives your pet a visual marker.
®
• Use Invisible Fence Brand correction post covers on the Computer Collar
for the fi rst training session. This will introduce your pet to the idea of leaving the
shielded area when he hears the warning tone.
• Attach a long lead to your pet's collar strap and show your pet how to avoid
the shielded area by gently guiding the pet out of the range when the warning
tone sounds. Note: Do not attach a lead to the Computer Collar
pulling the Correction Posts too tightly against your pet's neck. Attach a lead to a separate,
non-metallic collar or harness, making sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the
Correction Posts.
• Praise your pet for leaving the shielded area.
• Repeat this process until your pet reacts to the warning tone on its own.
• Remove the post covers on the Computer Collar
react immediately to the warning tone and correction, and back-up/move away from the shielded area. It may take several
times for your pet to recognize and avoid the shielded area.
• Adjust the fi t of the Computer Collar
from season to season.
