Training Your Pet

3 Your Pet's Personality
Your pet's reaction to the training session varies in accordance to its personality. In most instances,
your pet will react in one of two ways:
4
1. Some pets have a great and immediate respect for the boundary. Particularly timid pets stay
close to the foundation of your home until they understand where the safety zones are. If
5
this occurs, coax your pet into the safety zone and spend 10 to 15 minutes playing there. By
consistently walking your pet around the safety zone, your pet's confidence level will increase.
If your pet remains overly timid, reduce your pet's approaches to the boundary every other day.
7
2. On the other hand, some pets may show little or no reaction when experiencing the correction.
If this should occur, check the following:
10
a. Are the contact probes making contact with the dog's skin? Make sure the collar is tight
enough around the dog's neck. (See page 8)
b. Is your pet's coat trimmed back to one-half inch in the area where the receiver is
12
positioned?
If your dog has a thick or long coat, it may be necessary to trim back his fur so the contact
probes touch the skin. Ask your Pet Stop dealer for help.
c. Is the battery inserted correctly in the receiver?
Be sure the battery is inserted positive (+) end up.
If your pet still shows little reaction, contact your Pet Stop dealer for adjustments or additional
training.
Contact your Pet Stop Dealer immediately if you experience any training
problems.
Walking Your Dog Off Property
One method to allow your dog to leave your property during and after the training period is listed
below. For other methods, please consult your Pet Stop dealer.
It is important that a consistent routine is established and maintained when walking your pet off the
property. Remove the Pet Stop receiver collar, attach a leash to your pet's regular collar and proceed
out the point of exit (usually the driveway). Proceed down the driveway and instruct your pet to sit
several feet within the boundary. Lay a doormat or strip of carpet over the boundary line. Proceed
across the boundary, using a command such as "cross" and proceed on the walk. Follow the same
process when you return.
