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 beep (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.
