4. Computer Collar Post Cover
The Post Cover completely cove rs both
Computer Collar posts. Cover the posts during the ini-
tial training, usually the first three days, while your
dog learns the boundary and retreat lessons.
The following precautions
should always be taken:
1. Always remove the dog's Computer Collar
before making any adjustment to the
Invisible Fence system.
2. Gradually allow the dog to become
accustomed to his new Computer Collar.
Remove it every night during the first month
and periodically thereafter. This will ensure
proper fit and avoid any irritation that the
posts may cause to the dog's skin.
3. DO NOT secure the posts on the collar
with any kind of glue or adhesive.
4. DO use the post tightening tool
to tighten the posts.
5. Training Flags
Temporary visual aids that help your dog see the
borders of the property and safe areas.
Set the flags three to four feet into the signal
field from where the warning sound begins. Put a flag
every six to eight feet around the entire boundary.
