Back Away From The Fence; Respect The Fence - Pet Stop Comfort Contact PCC-200 Owner's Manual

Owner's Guide
LESSON 1

Back Away From the Fence!

Start the first
phase of train-
ing with the
collar contacts
covered with
the supplied
post cov-
ers that are
included with
your Pet Stop Fence. This is to ensure that
your dog can hear the warning tone at the
boundary, but there is no chance of cor-
rection. The post covers will be removed
in phase 2 of the training.
Put the
electronic
training collar
on your dog
and make sure
the wall mount
transmitter is
turned on.
The first lesson is to introduce your dog to
the boundary and to help her understand
to back away from the fence when the
warning tone is heard.
With your dog on a lead, casually walk to
the boundary. When the dog reaches the
signal field and hears the warning beep,
immediately spin around and briskly jog
back into the yard. The dog will feel the
tug and run after you. Praise enthusiasti-
cally.
On days two and three repeat the same
lesson in different parts of the yard. As the
training sessions of the next three days
progress, you'll see that your dog will start

to anticipate the signal and retreat without
your prompting.
Day three is successful if your dog
retreats without your prompting and
refuses to approach the boundary as you
approach. For each successful attempt be
sure to praise, praise and praise again.
LESSON 2

Respect the Fence

Although your dog is learning fast and
avoiding the boundary, he will forget
or attempt to break the rules with an
interesting distraction beyond your yard.
To prevent this, your dog must experience
what happens if the fence boundaries are
not respected.
For the next lesson, you will need to
remove the post covers from the training
collar contacts.
With your dog still on a lead, walk to the
boundary with your dog. Have a helper
walk on the outside of the fence area. The
helper should ignore your dog and never
coax the dog out of the fenced area.
Your dog will most likely forget earlier les-
sons and attempt to leave the safe area.
The moment your dog reacts to the fence
correction, immediately retreat to the safe
part of the yard and lavish your dog with
praise. Please note, it is very important
that your helper not stop, look back or
acknowledge the dog in any way.
Continue this lesson at a number of differ-
ent areas around the boundary.
