Preparation

Your goal is to train your cat to turn away from the Boundary Zone every time he hears the
warning beep from the Receiver Collar.

During training, your cat must develop an understanding of the Boundary and that you
require him to remain within it.

Cats are independent creatures. In order to gain the correct response, you must always work
with a kind, calm and respectful manner. Gain your cat’s trust and you will build a mutual
respect which will ultimately lead to success.

It must be remembered that by their very nature cats are more agile and therefore more
mobile than dogs. You must be very aware of your training environment. If it is possible
for your cat to climb on a shed or up a tree, taking the Receiver Collar out of reach of the
signal from the Boundary Wire, then it is possible that he could jump the Boundary without
receiving a Static Correction.

The time scale for fully training your cat can range from one to two weeks. During the
training period, you should be able to detect from your cat’s response if it is time to move on
to the next training phase.

Receiver Collar Familiarity

Goal:
To familiarize your cat with the Receiver Collar if he has not worn one before.

Steps:
1. Fit the Receiver Collar as detailed on pages 6 and 7 of this guide, but without the battery

inserted, so there is no chance of your cat receiving a correction at this early stage.
