LESSON 1

Back Away From the Fence!

Start the fi rst 
phase of train-
ing with the 
collar contacts 
covered with 
the supplied 
post cov-
ers that are 
included with 
your Perimeter Fence. This is to ensure 
that your dog can hear the training tone 
at the boundary, but there is no chance 
of correction. The post covers will be 
removed in phase 2 of the training.

Put the 
electronic 
training collar 
on your dog 
and make sure 
the wall mount 
transmitter is 
turned on.  

The fi rst lesson is to introduce your dog to 
the boundary and to help her understand 
to back away from the fence when the 
training tone is heard.

With your dog on a leash, casually walk to 
the boundary. When the dog reaches the 
signal fi eld and hears the training beep, 
immediately spin around and briskly jog 
back into the yard. The dog will feel the 
tug and run after you. Praise enthusiasti-
cally.

On days two and three repeat the same 
lesson in different part of the yard. As the 
training sessions of the next three days 
progress, you’ll see that your dog will start 

to anticipate the signal and retreat without 
your prompting.

Day three is successful if your dog 
retreats without your prompting and 
refuses to approach the boundary as you 
approach. For each successful attempt be 
sure to praise, praise and praise again. 

LESSON 2  

Respect the Fence

Although your dog is learning fast and 
avoiding the boundary, he will forget 
or attempt to break the rules with an 
interesting distraction beyond your yard. 
To prevent this, your dog must experience 
what happens if the fence boundaries are 
not respected. 

For the next lesson, you will need to 
remove the post covers from the training 
collar contacts. 

With your dog still on a leash, walk to the 
boundary with your dog. Have a helper 
walk on the outside of the fence area. The 
helper should ignore your dog and never 
coax the dog out of the fenced area. 

Your dog will most likely forget earlier les-
sons and attempt to leave the safe area. 
The moment your dog reacts to the fence 
correction, immediately retreat to the safe 
part of the yard and lavish your dog with 
praise. Please note, it is very important 
that your helper not stop, look back or 
acknowledge the dog in any way. 

Continue this lesson at a number of differ-
ent areas around the boundary.
