Training Guide
For pets trained to the Invisible Fence
®
Brand system
•
Use Invisible Fence
®
Brand training flags to mark the
outside of the signal field range. This gives your pet a
visual marker, similar to how they learned the signal
field range of the outdoor pet containment system.
•
Allow your pet to enter the protected area. By
already being familiar with the training flags and
the warning beep, your pet should react
immediately by moving away from the protected
area. It may take several times for your pet to recognize
and avoid the protected area.
•
Praise your pet for leaving the protected area.
•
If the Computer Collar
®
Unit is set to a delay you may need to adjust the signal field range so your pet
receives the warning beep earlier.
For pets new to the Invisible Fence
®
Brand system
•
Use Invisible Fence
®
Brand training flags to mark the edge of the signal field range. This gives your pet a
visual marker.
•
Use Invisible Fence
®
Brand safety posts on the Computer Collar
®
Unit for the first training session. This will
introduce your pet to the idea of leaving the protected area when he hears the warning beep.
•
Attach a long lead to your pet’s collar strap and show your pet how to avoid the protected area by gently
guiding the pet out of the range when the warning beep sounds.
•
Notice: Do not attach a lead to the Computer Collar
®
unit strap. This can result in pulling the Correction
Posts too tightly against your pet’s neck. Attach a lead to a separate, nonmetallic collar or harness,
making sure the extra collar strap does not put pressure on the Correction Posts.
•
Praise your pet for leaving the protected area.
•
Repeat this process until your pet reacts to the warning beep on their own by moving away from the
protected area.
•
Remove the safety posts on the Computer Collar
®
unit. Allow your pet to enter the protected area. Your
pet should react immediately to the warning beep and correction by moving away from the protected
area. It may take several times for your pet to recognize and avoid the protected area.
•
After training is complete, remove your pet’s Computer Collar
®
unit each night to prevent irritation.
However, if this is not possible, please check the tightness of the collar each time you feed your pet by
removing the collar and then replacing it back on your pet.
