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 tone (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.
