Training - DAYS 2 - 4

IMPORTANT:
Never leave the Pet Collar Unit on your dog for more than 12 hours. Never
attach a leash or other restraint to the Pet Collar Unit – use a separate collar for
leash and tags.
Goal:
Teach your dog to retreat from the boundary flags at the sound of the warning
beep from the Pet Collar Unit, and introduce your dog to low levels of static
correction.
Preparation:
1. Set the Static Correction Level to LEVEL 3 – low static level (see "Set the
Static Correction Level" on page 21). This will ensure that your dog feels a
very low level of static correction after the warning beep.
2. Put a separate collar on your dog's neck above the Pet Collar Unit, without
adding pressure to the Collar Contacts on it, and attach a long leash to the
separate collar.
3. Get some tasty treats or your dog's favorite toy.
Food rewards and play are excellent ways to reinforce good behaviors and
speed up your dog's learning.
Steps:
1. Follow the same training steps as the first day of training.
2. Wait a few seconds after the warning beep to ensure that your dog felt the
low level of static correction. The lowest levels of static correction are
seldom a sufficient deterrent to keep your dog in the yard, however it is
sufficient to have your dog understand that something will follow the
warning beep.
3. Repeat the boundary approaches for 10 – 15 minutes.
4. Play with your dog and its favorite toy for 10 minutes.
