lesson #2 – statIc coRRectIon
Lesson #2 is intended to last for up to a week and helps your dog learn to move away from the Boundary Zone
on their own after receiving a correction. To achieve the best results, you should again train for 10 to 15 minutes a
session three times a day. The objective is to introduce your dog to the Static Correction and teach them where the
correction occurs. This will also teach your dog that there is a consequence for moving into the Boundary Zone.
This step will also identify your dog’s level of recognition to the correction. This helps you to select the
appropriate correction level on the collar that will be used for the rest of your lessons.
Again for this lesson, your dog should be wearing a non-metallic collar (without tags) that they cannot slip out
of. You will attach that collar to a leash. You will also need several small-sized treats.
1 . Turn on the Base Transmitter .
2 . Turn on the Receiver Collar and set the correction to level 1 .
3. Place the Receiver Collar on your dog’s neck below the non-metallic collar. Make sure the non-metallic collar
is not touching the probes on the Receiver Collar.
4. Walk your dog on the leash in the Safe Zone.
5 . Praise and reward your dog with several treats .
6 . Allow your dog to walk toward the Boundary Flags .
7. When your dog gets close to the Boundary Zone the Receiver Collar will emit a Warning Tone.
8. Allow your dog to continue to the Boundary Flags. As soon as your dog moves into the Boundary Zone a
Static Correction will follow after the Warning Tone.
a. If you do not see a reaction from your dog, change the setting on the Receiver Collar to level 2 and repeat.
b. If you still do not see a reaction from your dog, change the setting on the Receiver Collar to level 3 and repeat.
NOTE: Once you have determined the appropriate correction level for your dog, you can leave your Receiver
Collar set at this level for the rest of the training. If you have multiple dogs, you will need to purchase additional
collars for each dog and be sure they are adjusted based on each dog’s reaction to the correction.
9. Immediately after your dog receives the Static Correction, move away from the Boundary Flags and back into
the Safe Zone.
10. When you are about 10 feet away from the Boundary Flags stop to praise and reward your dog with a treat.
11. Repeat this process several times in multiple areas of your yard until your dog is retreating from the Boundary
Flags on their own. Please note: never pull or encourage your dog into the Boundary Zone.
12. If your dog decides on its own not to move past the flags, you can move on to the next lesson and turn off
the Base Transmitter .
