Perfect Start Pet Training — 

Owner’s Manual

Introducing the Signal Field

Your Invisible Fence

®

Brand Pet Expert will

introduce the Invisible Boundary

®

to your pet.

Remember: This is an exercise that only the

Invisible Fence Brand Pet Expert should

perform.

Your focus will be on safe area training.

Focus on the Safe Area

Once your pet is avoiding the Invisible Boundary

regularly, the focus of the training lesson changes

to teaching your pet exactly where it is safe.

Some safe area activities include practicing basic

dog obedience homework (sit, down, stay, etc.)

close to the boundary or playing recall games

near the boundary.

Indoor Training

At the end of this training phase, your Invisible

Fence Brand Pet Safety Expert will assign some

homework to reinforce the behavior. You will be

asked to play with your pet near the Invisible

Boundary.

Placing food dishes

or beds close to the

Invisible Boundary

helps your pet learn

where it is safe.

Door bells, family

traffic patterns, and

your pet’s general

curiosity will

provide the only

distraction training

during this initial training period.

Let “real life” situations provide distractions and

remember the importance of always being

trustworthy to your pet. Your only focus should be

on the safe area. Good leadership and a great

relationship are built by always being trustworthy

to your pet.

Perfect Start

Pet Training

Method – Moving Outdoors

Once your pet has learned the appropriate

behavior indoors, it is time to take the Perfect

Start Pet Training method outdoors.  Here, new

behaviors will be taught and reinforced:

• Learning exactly where the boundaries are

outdoors.

• Knowing where the safe area is.

• Learning to remain safely contained within 

the Invisible Boundary.

Flagging the Yard

Once again, training flags will be used to mark

the Invisible Boundary.  The Invisible Fence

Brand flags should stay up for about four weeks.

After that time, every other flag can be removed

every three to four days. Leave the flags at

primary exit points

and the Invisible

Gate

®

location until

all other flags are

removed.  Your

Invisible Fence

Brand Pet Expert will teach you and your pet the

Invisible Gate ritual during training.

TRAINING TIP: If your puppy or dog is in a
training class, practice your school homework

close to the Invisible Boundary. Complete your
obedience homework at the same time as your Invisible
Fence Brand homework.
