Section 2: Training your dog with the MGG Radio-Controlled Hidden Fencing
System
With the system fully installed, tested and adjusted to your requirements, you are
ready to introduce your dog to its new containment area. The following steps outline
a successful training plan which enables your dog to be introduced slowly and safely
to the system:

Training times

Fitting the collar

Flag training

The first correction

On-leash proofing

Off-leash proofing
It is important to remember that each dog has its own individual temperament and
there is no way of knowing how your dog will react. Therefore, for the safety of your
dog, initial training should take place using a long leash so you remain in total control
of the situation.
Warning: We do not recommend this product to eliminate or correct
aggressive behavior in dogs. If your dog shows signs of aggressive behavior
then please contact a professional dog trainer in your area
Step 1: Training Times
Set aside uninterrupted time for training your dog. Keep the sessions brief and
playful with breaks for rest and/or play. Remain positive and always praise your dog
for good behavior. Never continue a session after your dog has lost interest.
Step 2: Fitting the collar-receiver
Always ensure the collar-receiver is fully functioning (as per section 1 step 7)
BEFORE putting it on your dog.

Remove any other collars during the time your dog will be wearing the collar-
receiver. Metal collars may interfere with the signal reception

Choose the correct probes for your dog. Use the short probes for short-haired
dogs and the long probes for longer-haired dogs

Finger-
tighten the probes to the ‘terminals’ on the collar-receiver then make one
additional turn. Do not overtighten

Ensure the probes make direct contact with the dog’s skin. This may require you
to trim a small amount of hair under your
dog’s chin to improve the probe contact
with the skin

With your dog standing in front of you, place the collar-receiver around the
dog’s
neck with the receiver box under the it
’s chin. The collar must be fairly tight to
maintain contact between the probes and skin without restricting the dog’s
breathing. As a guideline, you should be able to slide one finger beneath the strap
at the
back of the dog’s neck

Remove the collar and trim the excess strap
