24 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 up to 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.

Days 2 thru 4 - Continue Boundary Awareness
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 Receiver Collar to Level 2.
• 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 from Phase 1.
2. If your pet does not respond to the Static Correction, confirm that the Receiver Collar is fitting properly
according to Step 11.
3. If the Receiver Collar is fitted properly and your pet does not respond to the Static Correction, increase the
Static Correction Level by 1. 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.
Days 5 thru 8 - Distraction Phase
