Training Guide
Cat Training Introduction
This training guide offers a choice of two training methods: On Lead Method and
Supervised Tie Out Method. Both methods require close supervision of your cat
throughout the training period. Carefully read both methods to determine which is
right for you and your cat.
Be Patient With Your Cat
Important: Proper training of your cat is essential to the success of the PetSafe ®
Deluxe In-Ground Cat Fence ™ . Read this section completely before beginning to
train your cat. Remember that the PetSafe Deluxe In-Ground Cat Fence is not a
solid barrier.
• Training should be fair, firm and consistent.
• Train for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Don’t try to do too much too quickly.
More-frequent short sessions are better than less-frequent longer sessions.
• If your cat shows signs of stress, slow down the training schedule and/or add
additional days of training.
• Finish each training session with lots of praise and affection.
• Remove the Receiver Collar after each training session.
• Keep your cat on a harness attached to a lead during training sessions.
• Even if you think your cat is responding well to the training, complete the entire
training. Reinforcement is important.
• Regularly check the fit of the Receiver Collar against your cat’s skin.
