Now that your Pet Stop System has been installed and is operational, it is time to train your pet to
the system. As explained to you at the time you purchased the system, this product is designed to
be used only as a tool to train your pet to stay within the confines of a given boundary. The success
for your pet relies upon the training given. Consistency is important and remember to keep the
training fun for your dog. Set aside ten minutes twice a day for training and play with your dog often
in the yard.
At the time of installation, your Pet Stop dealer will provide an initial training session, and explain
to you the procedures to ensure your pet will remain safely behind the chosen boundary. The
information contained in this manual will further aid you in training your pet. It is designed so that
your pet is thoroughly trained to the system at the program’s end.
Precaution:
Taking shortcuts or rushing the program and not following the guidelines provided, may yield
unsatisfactory results for both you and your pet.
Warning:
The Pet Stop System should be used only with proper training of your pet. It is not intended as a
fool-proof means, such as a solid boundary, of keeping your pet in the yard.
Boundary Training is the most important part of your system. Therefore, it is the sole responsibility
of the pet owner to provide training, either personally or through an authorized Pet Stop dealer.
Reinforcement of training may be necessary.
Note:
If you have reasons to believe that your pet may cause harm to itself or others,
you should not rely solely on this system for restraint. Neither Pet Stop nor Perimeter
Technologies, Inc. shall be held liable for any damages sustained as a result of your
pet crossing the boundary.
Preparing Your Pet For Boundary Training
Your pet should be of sufficient maturity to understand basic training commands and be comfortable
walking on a leash before you begin training. Most pet owners find this to be somewhere around
four to six months of age, depending on the breed and personality of the dog.
If you are training more than one pet, do so separately. Each deserves the benefit of your full
attention.
Training Tips
•
DO NOT
use this system for guard dogs or vicious animals. If you believe your dog
may pose a threat to others,
DO NOT USE THIS SYSTEM.
•
DO NOT
use this system as a solid barrier. This product is a deterrent, meant to train
pets to remain within an established boundary. It will not work without proper training.
•
DO NOT
permit children to operate the system.
• If you are unsure as to whether or not your dog will be suitable on a Pet Stop System,
please speak with your authorized Pet Stop dealer.
Additionally, your system will not work unless you:
• Adjust the collar snug enough for the contact probes to make contact with your pet’s
skin, but not so tight that it will cause injury. See Page 8 for collar adjustment.
• Replace the receiver battery as required. See Pages 8 and 9 for details.
• Contact your local Pet Stop dealer immediately if the boundary wire is cut or damaged
in any way, so they can help you fix the break as soon as possible. See Page 5 for
Wire Break Warning System.
• Train your pet properly. See Pages 10 and 11 for Training Tips.
We do not recommend leaving your pet unsupervised while on the system.
To avoid neck irritation, always remove the receiver collar from your
pet at the end of the day when your pet is inside. Check your pet’s neck
frequently for any irritation.
Caution:
Changes or modifications to any component, not expressly approved
by Perimeter Technologies, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.
