Invisible Fence Brand
Computer Collar
To work properly, the posts on the Invisible Fence
Brand Computer Collar unit must touch your pet's
skin.
1. Position the Invisible Fence Brand Computer
Collar Receiver
high on your pet's
neck with the
Computer Collar
unit under the
lower jaw.
2. To avoid pets
having a collar that
is too tight on a
thick-haired pet,
thin some hair away
to make skin contact with the posts. DO
NOT shave your pet's neck.
3. Tighten the collar strap appropriately. Adjust
the strap so it is snug enough to slide one
finger between the post and your pet's neck.
4. The fit of the Invisible Fence Brand Computer
Collar should be adjusted as necessary as your
pet's coat, weight, and age change. Your pet's
coat may change from season to season.
5. Allow your pet to become accustomed to the
new Invisible Fence Brand Computer Collar
The collar strap should be removed each night
during the first month of training and
regularly thereafter. When possible, the
collar should be removed for some period
of time everyday. This ensures proper fit and
avoids the possibility of skin irritation from
the posts.
If this is not possible given your family's lifestyle,
work with your Invisible Fence Brand Pet Expert
to set up a plan to regularly check the collar fit.

Perfect Start ™
Overview
Perfect Start Pet Training focuses on teaching
your pet a new behavior. Most behavior changes
are taught in steps or stages. Your Invisible Fence
Brand Pet Safety Expert will assess the needs of
your home and your pet to determine the number
of lessons required to customize the training.
Each lesson will have its own unique goal or
goals.
Key Objectives
Perfect Start Pet Training has three main
objectives:
1. To teach your pet how the system turns "on
and off." Pets learn they can turn the system
on and off by backing up or turning their
head. The pet will quickly realize the flags
are visual markers as to the location of the
Invisible Boundary.
2. To teach your pet the exact location of his or
her boundaries. The pet should be
comfortable within inches of the Invisible
Boundary.
3. To having your pet understand there is no
reward worth crossing the Invisible Boundary.
The result is a pet that resists all distractions.
Pet – Owner Relationship
Perfect Start Pet Training has a very positive
effect on the pet-owner relationship. It helps
shorten a process that can sometimes be stressful
for both you and your pet. By reducing stress,
Perfect Start
Pet Training
enhances the
relationship
bond with
your pet.
