lesson #6 – ReMovInG tHe flaGs
After one month of unsupervised freedom you can begin to remove the Boundary Flags. Start by removing
every other Boundary Flag once a week until all of the Boundary Flags are removed.
Your training is an ongoing process . As you remove the Boundary Flags continue to use distractions to make
sure your dog understands that there is a Boundary Zone. Periodical reinforcement of your training will increase
effectiveness of your Sunbeam® In-Ground Fencing System.
After a period of time many dogs will back away from the Boundary Zone after hearing the Warning Tone alone.
When you are ready you can replace the stainless steel probes with the plastic probes included in your kit. When
using the plastic probes, your dog cannot receive a Static Correction but can still hear the Warning Tone.
