How the Wireless Fence for Home and Travel works The system comes with a portable Wireless Fence Unit that establishes an invisible boundary by transmitting radio signals to the Pet Collar Unit up to a distance of 150 feet line of sight. When your dog reaches the boundary zone (about 2 to 3 feet before the “real” boundary), the Pet Collar Unit that is worn on your dog emits a warning beep followed by static correction to get its attention until it backs away from the boundary zone.

6. Training Program IMPORTANT: Carefully following the entire training program of your new system is required to successfully contain your dog. The purpose of this training program is to teach your dog how to react to the system’s warning beep prior to any static correction. Without proper training, your dog will not understand how to react – and remember, an invisible fence is not a physical fence and there is no substitute for close supervision.
Training Tips ENGLISH 6.2 • Do not punish your dog if it goes outside the boundary. The purpose of the training is to teach your dog that it is rewarding for it to stay inside the boundary and good things happen whenever it is inside the boundary. 6.3 Training - DAY 1 Goal: Teach your dog to retreat from the training flags at the sound of warning beep from the Pet Collar Unit. Preparation: 1. 2. 3. Set the Static Correction level to LEVEL 0 – tone and vibration only.
Steps: 1. Briskly walk towards the training flags. Your dog is more likely to be leading the way. 2. The warning beep from the Pet Collar Unit will indicate that your dog has entered the boundary zone.
Immediately turn away and jog several feet back inside the boundary with your dog in tow. By doing this, you are conditioning your dog to move away from the training flags. 4. PRAISE your dog enthusiastically and provide a food treat. The key is to teach your dog how rewarding it is to stop before the boundary zone. After several approaches to the flag, you will see that your dog is now relying on you to make the calls. It will no longer lead, but will follow behind you and stop short of the flags.
6.4 Training - DAYS 2 - 4 IMPORTANT: Never leave the Pet Collar Unit on your dog for more than 12 hours. Never attach a leash or other restraint to the Pet Collar Unit – use a separate collar for leash and tags.

Preparation: 1.
4. 5. Repeat the distractions and approaches to the boundary for 10 – 15 minutes. Play and praise for 10 minutes. 6.6 Training - DAYS 8 - 14 Goal: Remove your dog’s leash and allow your dog to roam freely inside the boundary.
