Petsafe UltraSmart® In-Ground Fence™ - Manual (Page 20)

20 Customer Care Center 1-800-732-2677
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 (12A). Keep your mood happy.
3. With full control of your pet on a leash, walk to the flags. As your pet enters the Static Correction Zone, the Receiver
Collar will begin to beep (12B). Allow him to stay in the Static Correction Zone for 2 seconds then gently help him
back into the Pet Area (12C). 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 Static Correction 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 Static Correction Zone.
Note: Never allow your pet to eat the treat in the Static Correction Zone.

Introduction to Static Correction
Perform three sessions per day, each lasting 10-15 minutes.
Goal:
To train your pet to stay in the Pet Area and respect the boundary.
Setup:
• Set the Static Correction Level on the Fence Transmitter to LO. Remove the Contact Point Training Covers
and place the Receiver Collar on your pet’s neck.
• 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 available (hot dogs or lunch meat work well).
• Have your pet’s favorite play toy available.
Steps:
1. Repeat steps 1-5 in Phase One.
2. If your pet does not respond to the Static Correction, confirm that the Receiver Collar is fitting properly
according to Step 11 on page 17.
3. If the Receiver Collar is fitted properly and your pet does not respond to the Static Correction, increase the
Static Correction Level at the Fence Transmitter to MEDIUM. Watch for slight reactions at first such as ears
up, head turned, looking at the ground.
4. Stay at the same flag until your pet resists going into the Static Correction Zone.
