Once your pet consistently respects the boundary regardless
of distractions or temptations, he is ready for the next step:
unleashed supervision ( 10D ). Stay close by with a leash at hand.
Play with your pet for a while during the first few sessions. If your
dog does not try to cross the boundary, occupy yourself with
another task in the yard, and allow him to freely explore. Continue
watching your pet. If he escapes, remove the collar and lead him
back into the Pet Area. Start these sessions at about 15 minutes
and gradually work up to an hour or more.
When your pet proves trustworthy, you can let him out on his own.
Continue to check on him regularly. You can remove every other
Boundary Flag every 4 days until all the flags are removed. Save
them in case you move or need to train another pet.
Taking Your Pet Out of the Pet Area
Important: Remove the Receiver Collar and leave it at home.
Once your pet learns the boundary, he will be reluctant to cross it
for walks or car rides.
Option 1:
Replace the Receiver Collar with a regular collar. Put your pet in
a car that is within the Pet Area and drive him out of the Pet Area
(
10E ).
Option 2:
Replace the Receiver Collar with a regular collar and leash. Walk
your pet out of the Pet Area while giving a command such as “OK” at a specific place along the boundary (the end
of your driveway, sidewalk, etc.). Always leave the Pet Area from the same spot in your yard with a leash and your pet
will associate leaving the Pet Area only on a leash, only at this spot, and only with a person. You may initially need to
convince your pet to leave the Pet Area with a treat and lots of praise.
Note: You may also carry your pet out of the Pet Area.
Congratulations! You have now completed the training program. You are both ready to enjoy more freedom. Just make
sure to continue to check the tightness of the Receiver Collar and remove it when it is not in use.
