If the receiver collar fails the ReadyTest
®
startup, the receiver collar is automatically turned off. Your pet will not be contained.
7. Once the ReadyTest startup is done, the receiver collar will
automatically go through an optional PerfectFit Test (Step 7), which
lasts for 90 seconds. This mode begins with simultaneous flashing
red+ green lights.
8. Place the collar on your pet and adjust the fit.
9. The receiver collar will emit a unique double tone as the contact
points touch your pet’s skin. You will know that you have the proper
fit when you hear the receiver collar emit the double tone and it
flashes green 5 consecutive times.
10. After 90 seconds, the receiver collar moves into normal operation
mode. If you do not hear the 5 consecutive double tone, tighten the
collar and repeat the PerfectFit Test.
Training Guide
Important:
Proper training of your pet is essential to the success of the
Petsafe

™
system
. Read this
section completely before beginning to train your pet. Remember that
this PetSafe YardMax Rechargeable In-Ground Fence system is not a
solid barrier.
• Pets respond to our emotions. You should stay upbeat and have fun
with your pet throughout the training process.
• Train for 15 minutes or less at a time. Do not try to do too much too
quickly. More-frequent short sessions are better than less-frequent
longer sessions.
• We suggest a minimum of 14 days of training. Depending on your
pet and your consistency, the training could take more or less time.
• Always have small pieces of your pet’s favorite treats readily at
hand. Promptly reward your pet for good behavior. If your pet
goes crazy for a certain ball or toy, use that instead or in addition.
Never treat your pet or allow them to eat a treat in the static
correction zone.
• If your pet shows signs of stress, slow down the training schedule,
add additional days of training or increase the amount of play time
with your pet in the pet area. Common stress signals include:
- Pet pulling on leash toward the house
- Ears tucked or pulled back
- Tail down or tucked between legs
- Body lowered
- Nervous/frantic movement or stiffening of pet’s body
- Lip-licking or yawning
• Your pet must be completely comfortable near the boundary flags at the
end of every training session. Spend at least 5 minutes of “play time” at
the completion of each session within 10 ft. of the boundary flags.
• Finish each training session on a positive note with lots of praise
and play.
• Remove the receiver collar after each training session.
• Be sure to contain your pet by another means during the training
period (e.g. pen, tie-out, leash, etc.). If you need to take your pet out
of the pet area, remove the receiver collar and either pick your pet
up or put him in the car to pass out of the pet area. The goal is for
your pet to associate leaving the pet area only with you.
• Even if you think your pet is responding well to the training, complete
the entire training. Consistency is key.
