STEP 7
Training your pet
Please take your time training your dog
and complete each step of the process to
enjoy optimal performance from your sys-
tem. If you have questions along the way,
expert advice is only a call away. Please
call your local Pet Stop Professional.
The goal of fence training is to help you
teach your dog to identify and respect her
new fence, to make the training fair—so
your dog will understand the consequenc-
es of leaving and to make the training
fun—so your dog will enjoy staying and
playing on your property.
Completely trusting your dog with his Pet
Stop Fence will take place over the course
of about 3 weeks. The training is a small
part of the three weeks, the rest of the
time is just close supervision.
Time should be set aside to work with your
dog for 10-15 minutes, two times per day.
Both you and your dog will appreciate
short, fun lessons and make the training
more effective. There are six phases to
the training lessons:
LESSON 1: Back away from the fence!
6 sessions
LESSON 2: Respect the Fence
1 session
LESSON 3: Adding interesting distractions
8 sessions
LESSON 4: Off Lead With Supervision
1 Week

• Use a calendar so you can keep track
of the training process. Your dog's
behavior will tell you when it is time to
proceed to the next level.
• A training session includes putting the
Pet Stop training collar on your dog,
making sure that the collar has the
proper fit high on the dog's neck and
the collar is making contact with the
skin.
• Start every session playing with a
favorite toy and plenty of praise. Make
sure your dog is comfortable and hav-
ing fun.
• Do boundary work at locations around
the entire boundary of your yard.
• Always end sessions with your dog
successfully avoiding the fence and
with more play and praise.
• If you are training more than one dog,
train each dog in separate training ses-
sions.
