If this is your dog’s first training with boundary training in general, we recommend that you turn off all corrections in your Wagz App at the outset. The first training sessions will require a leash. The Wagz shock-free corrections (audible, ultrasonic, vibration) are introduced at a later point in the training.
Next, your dog should be wearing his or her favorite collar with the Wagz Freedom Smart device securely attached. A leash should also be attached before you begin the training. Please be sure all Wagz corrections are turned off if your dog has not learned the visual portion of the training.

The most common way is to remove every other flag and repeat the training sessions for a few days to ensure your pet understands where the boundary is. Continue to increase the distance between flags until you feel comfortable removing all of them.
