INVISIBLE FENCE SHIELDS Training Manual

Dear Canine Company Client,

Before you begin training:

• Read through all of the appropriate manuals.
• Set up your avoidance system and make all necessary adjustments before you place the Computer
Collar unit on your pet.
®
• You will be able to train your pet to the Pet Keeper whether your pet is new to the Invisible Fence
Brand system or they have been trained to a system before.
• The Avoidance Flags included act as a visual during the training process. While they are important
during the training process, they are temporary and may be removed once your pet is fully trained,
generally in 2 weeks.
• Once you have properly set up your indoor Shields
more than 1 foot from where your pet's Computer Collar
need to make adjustments to your Shields
adjusting radius or location.
• Please contact us ay anytime if you need assistance training your pet.
• At any time you may purchase training to be performed by a certified Canine Company representative.
For pets trained to the Invisible Fence
Use Invisible Fence Brand training flags to mark the outside of the signal field range. This gives your pet a
®
visual marker, similar to how they learned the signal field range of the outdoor pet containment system. Do
not start over from the beginning, the behavior is there and you just have to introduce the new boundaries.
Allow your pet to see the flags and hear the tone from the Computer Collar
let them know it is there. To allow your pet to hear the tone, remove the Computer Collar
and let the collar activate so your pet can hear the tone. By already being familiar with the training flags and
the warning beep, your pet should react immediately by moving away from the protected area. Place the
collar back on your pet and allow your pet to move around the safe area. If your dog approaches the flagged
area, allow them to enter and to retreat back into the safe area. It may take several times for your pet to
recognize and avoid the protected area. Praise your pet for leaving the protected area. Remember to set your
pets up to succeed, this means allow for plenty of fun time in the safe area and not overdoing a training session.
For pets new to the Invisible Fence
Use Invisible Fence Brand avoidance training flags to mark the edge of the signal field range. This gives
®
your pet a visual marker. Use Invisible Fence
for the first training session. This will introduce your pet to the idea of leaving the protected area when he/she
hears the warning beep. Attach a long lead to your pet's buckle collar strap and show your pet how to avoid
the protected area by gently guiding the pet out of the range when the warning beep sounds.
Notice: Do not attach a lead to the Computer Collar
too tightly against your pet's neck. Attach a lead to a separate, non-metallic collar or harness, making
sure the extra collar strap does not put pressure on the posts.
