Petsafe Little Dog Deluxe In-Ground Fence™ - Manual (Page 14)

Steps:
1. Begin by walking your pet on a leash in the Pet Area. Calmly praise and talk to your pet, occasionally giving treats.
2. Move toward the Boundary Flags (10A). Keep your mood happy and throw treats to the ground.
3. With full control of your pet on a leash, toss a treat on the outside edge of the fl ags. As your pet enters the Static
Correction Zone to receive the treat, he will begin to receive a mild Static Correction (10B). The longer your pet
remains in the Static Correction Zone, the stronger the Static Correction will get. Allow him to stay in the Static
Correction Zone for 2 seconds then gently help your pet back into the Pet Area (10C). Immediately praise and offer
him a treat as he enters the Pet Area, even if you have helped with the leash. Wiggle a Boundary Flag to help your
pet understand that the discomfort of the Static Correction happens around the fl ags.
4. Repeat this process at several different Boundary Flags. Your pet should start to resist going after the treat in the
Static Correction Zone. If your pet continues to enter the Static Correction Zone, check the fi t of his Receiver
Collar and allow him 2-3 seconds in the zone before pulling him back to the Pet Area.
Note: Never allow your pet to eat the treat in the Static Correction Zone.
