Day 1 - Boundary Awareness
Tone Only Training Mode
Perform three sessions on day 1, each training session lasting 10-15 minutes.
Goal:
To have your pet learn that the Boundary Flags and warning beep from the Receiver
Collar define the new Pet Area.
Setup:
• Program the Static Correction Level on the Receiver Collar to Level 1 Tone Only
training mode.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar and
attach a leash.
Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
• Have tiny pieces of treats that your pet will find desirable available (hot dogs or lunch
meat work well).
• Have your pet’s favorite play toy available.
Steps:
1. Begin by walking your pet on a leash in the Pet Area. Calmly praise and talk to your
pet.
2. Move toward the Boundary Flags (1A). Keep your mood happy.
3. With full control of your pet on a leash, walk to the flags. As your pet enters the Boundary
Zone, the Receiver Collar will begin to beep (1B). Allow your pet to stay in the Boundary
Zone for up to 2 seconds then gently help him back into the Pet Area (1C). Immediately
praise and offer your pet a treat as he enters the Pet Area, even if you have helped with
the leash.
4. Repeat this process at the same Boundary Flag until your pet resists going into the
Boundary Zone.
5. Aim to master 3-4 Boundary Flags per session. Make this FUN! Praise if your pet
quickly retreats or resists going into the Boundary Zone.
