Training
Day 1:
Your goal on this first day of training is to help your pet understand that he should not be
near the flags in his yard. This introduction to his new system should be brief, lasting
only until he seems to grasp the flag concept.
Introduction Phase
1. Put your pet on a leash (without receiver collar). Play with and praise your pet.
2. Approach the training flags while maintaining eye contact with your pet. Stop him at
the flag and firmly say NO. Next, bring your pet into the safe space (yard) and praise.
3. Continue step 2 at every third or fourth flag, while going around the yard’s entire
perimeter. Note and praise any “avoidance” actions, such as looking away from
trainer and flags, unwillingness to move toward flags, etc.
4. Be sure flags are set properly, using your receiver collar to check signal accuracy.
Notes:
DO NOT pull your pet into the boundary. DO pull him to within 5-6 feet of the flags.
To help some pets understand that they should stop AT the flag, you may have to stop
two or three feet AHEAD of the flag.
During training without the fence collar, NEVER let your pet cross or get within 1–2
feet of the flags. Your pet must understand that he will never be able to get to the
flags without a correction.
Correction Phase
1. Place the receiver collar snugly on your pet and allow him to move into (not through)
the signal field at a flag. While watching him for an appropriate response, allow your
pet to experience a first correction. Next, pull him quickly into the safe space and
praise him. Continue flag training, allowing
NO MORE THAN 3 corrections
per
training session at the flags, and only if your pet disregards the flags and warnings.
2. After each training session, play with and praise your pet.
