To Re-Thread the Collar
Slide Buckle
Ridges
The slide buckle prevents the collar from
becoming loose around your pet’s neck.
The ridges must be facing up; the collar
will slip if it is not properly threaded.
Training Guide
Be Patient With Your Pet
Important: Proper training of your pet is essential to the success of the Guardian
®
Wireless
Pet Containment System
®
. Read this section completely before beginning to train your pet.
Remember that the Guardian
®
Wireless Pet Containment System
®
is not a solid barrier.
• Have fun with your pet throughout the training process. Training
should be fun, fair, firm and consistent.
• Train for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Don’t 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 how he learns, the training could take more or less time.
• 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
-Tail down
-Body lowered
-Nervous / frantic movement or stiffening of pet’s body
• 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 feet
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.).
• During training, 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.
• Even if you think your pet is responding well to the training, complete the entire training.
Reinforcement is important!
