Training Guide - Supervised Tie Out Method
Goal:
To train your cat to turn towards home every time he hears the warning beep from the
Receiver Collar. Training should take about one week.
Setup:
1. When training a cat, use a harness for attaching the tie-out.
2. Set the Receiver Collar to Correction Level 2 or 3 depending on the size and temperament
of your cat. The higher the Correction Level, the stronger the Static Correction.
3. Cats must wear Receiver Collars much tighter than standard collars. Both Contact Points
must touch the skin.
4. Purchase a 15’ to 20’ yard tie-out from any pet store.
Steps:
1. Insert the yard anchor in the ground so the end of the tie-out reaches 1 to 2 feet past the
Warning Zone.
2. To ensure your cat’s well being, be sure there is shade and fresh water within the radius of
the tie-out.
3. Attach your cat’s harness to the tie-out.
4. Leave your cat in the tie-out area for 4 to 6 hours. Supervision is required for your cat’s
safety. Your supervision will monitor whether your cat has received a correction and whether
your cat is learning the system.
5. Move the tie-out to different areas of the Boundary.
6. Continue the training for 3 days. During this period, your cat will learn to recognize the
warning beep and to avoid the Static Correction Zone.
Supervise your pet in the yard for several weeks.
