Training Guidelines
The following information is designed to help you and your pet get the most out of your
Dog Guard Fence system. Remember, your Dog Guard dealer is only a phone call away
to answer any questions about your Dog Guard equipment or training.
Please refer to the following guidelines before beginning the training process:
1. For the first seven days your pet
CANNOT go outside unless it is on a leash (or
secured in some fashion) at all times.
2. For the first seven days, your pet MUST be kept from its boundaries at all times
except during the training process.
3. For the first week the training process should be done up to, but not more than 15
minutes per day. The amount of time spent training will depend on the age, size, and
attention span of your dog, as well as the size of your yard.
4. Make sure your pet receives the electronic correction
NO MORE THAN THREE
TIMES per day.
5. Allow the pet as few distractions as possible during the first few days of the initial
week of training (from people, other animals, school buses, etc.).
6. After seven days of training, your pet may go outside off-leash only when supervised
by a person able to handle the pet in a safe, secure manner, and if there are no training
problems.
7. If you are training more than one pet, train each pet separately and alone.
A pet that meets the following criteria will experience success:
For pets using the DG9000 & DG5000: 6 MONTHS of age or older, or at least 10 lb.
For pets using the DG3000: 6 MONTHS of age or older, or 10 lb. and under.
Able to understand and obey commands: SIT, STAY, COME, and NO.
