This section provides general guidelines for training your dog to remain within
the designated boundary of your property. Your DogWatch Dealer will customize
the training for your dog and teach you the appropriate training approach.
Your DogWatch Dealer will install your DogWatch Hidden Fence, set the system
to the appropriate training levels for your dog’s personality, and place boundary
flags around the perimeter of your yard. After installing
the system, your Dealer will prepare you and your dog
for the training process.
Your Dog’s Response to the Fence
Training your pet to recognize the fence boundary includes visual triggers (flags
placed just inside at the boundary line) plus an auditory (or vibration) warning
followed by a mild "stimulation" sensation from the collar (also called a "correction")
if the dog goes beyond the flags and warning signal. All dogs respond differently
when they feel the stimulation. Some dogs may demonstrate little, if any, reaction,
while others may yelp or jump back. Some dogs “freeze”. Do not try to comfort the
dog if he receives a correction or your anxiety will reinforce his anxiety.
Dog Personalities and Traits
Keep in mind that a dog’s personality and traits differ among breeds and within
the breed. Every dog has its own personality. Your DogWatch Dealer will ask you
questions about your pet before training begins. A shy or senior dog may require
longer Phase 1 sessions, while a gregarious or easy to distract dog may require a
short Phase 1, but longer Phase 2 or 3 sessions.
The better you know your dog, the easier the training will be for both of you!
Creating The Right Environment
Attitude and consistency are important!
1. Keep the training “light”. Use lots of praise. Keep the dog’s spirits high.
2. Use high happy tones for praise. Use low tones for negative commands.
3. Move around the boundary in the same direction.
4. Reinforce the boundary with commands. Use the commands “No!” or “Careful”
as you slap or shake the flags.
5. Limit training sessions to no more than 15-20 minutes. Keep training consistent.
6. Keep your dog on the leash in the yard for five days.
7. If you are training more than one dog, train each dog separately.
8. Use naturally occurring distractions such as a neighbor or children.
9. Contact your DogWatch Dealer if you have any questions.
Remember!
Proper training is essential for successful containment. If you have any questions
about the training phases, especially during the first few weeks, or if you have
questions about your dog’s behavior during his training sessions, please contact
your DogWatch Dealer.
