Perfect Start Pet Training —

Introducing the Outdoor Area
Once the entire yard has been flagged, the
outdoor training phase begins. The outdoor
phase is similar to the indoor phase. The main
difference is your pet has a much larger area
to learn where the boundaries are and there are
more intense distractions outside. However, the
same training method applies. Once again, your
Invisible Fence
®
Brand Pet Expert will introduce
the outdoor Invisible Boundary to your pet.
Focus on Safe Areas
Once your pet is avoiding the outdoor Invisible
Boundary regularly, the focus of the training
phase changes to teaching the pet exactly where it
is safe in the yard. Safe area training lets your pet
know it has an abundance of room to run, play,
and be safe.
One of the main
advantages of
Perfect Start
™
Pet
Training is that
your pet clearly
knows the exact
location of the
boundaries. He
or she knows the
whole area inside
the boundary is safe.
The focus of safe area training is working close to
the boundaries, so your pet knows the edges of
his or her area.
Homework – Outdoors
Your homework is similar to your indoor
assignment but now includes working close to the
boundary outdoors. Again, allow daily life to
provide most distractions.
Remember, your pet is
still learning how the Invisible Fence Brand
system works and is not fully trained. You still
need to supervise your pet during this period.
Work outdoors may just be petting and feeding
your pet near the Invisible Boundary.
Every time your pet is outside, training is
happening. Your pet is either learning where the
safe areas are or where he or she should not go.
Even if your pet is outside for a potty break,
learning in the safe area is taking place.
Remember, every training session should begin
and end with play and praise.

Pet Training
Method – Final Phase
Based on the progress of the individual pet, the
final phase of training includes learning and
reinforcing the following behavior goals:
• Avoiding distractions.
• Learning to remain safely contained on a
property when the existing fence is failing to
keep the pet in.
• Learning to remain safely contained on a
property when there is no additional fence
barrier.
The Invisible Fence Brand Pet Expert wants to
observe your pet when it is in high drive to verify
that the deterrent level is high enough to
counteract the pets desire to leave the property
under these circumstances. We want your pet to
have a healthy respect and make the decision to
“
never do that again
.”
