Training your dog will require use of a separate restraining collar and short
training lead. Do not use the Bluefang collar as a restraining collar. Structure
your training program to three, fifteen-minute sessions per day, EVERY DAY
until your dog is fully trained. Stick to this program consistently but, do not
train for more that fifteen minutes at a time or you risk losing your dog's
attention and the training becoming counter productive. Remember that the
most important elements in teaching a behavior are consistency and
repetition.
STAGE 1 TRAINING
Stage 1 training takes place in the outer edge of the boundary field.
A. Choose a Command: You should choose a specific verbal command to
instruct your dog to retreat, such as "Retreat," "Back" or "Home." Use this
command exclusively and consistently throughout the training. B. With
boundary flags in place, field fully operational and a fully charged Receiver
Collar on your dog, use the training lead to escort your dog into the outer edge
of the boundary field. When you hear the beeping tone, utter the retreat
command while firmly tugging on the lead and lead your dog into the safe
zone. Use encouraging words such as, "Good Dog!" Praise and pet your dog.
You may also wish to give your dog a food treat. C. Repeat this stage for fifteen
minutes each session until your pet instinctively and immediately retreats the
moment the training tone is heard.
STAGE 2 TRAINING
In Stage 2 training you will lead your pet right up to a boundary flag introducing
the most rapid pulse rate stimulus. As unpleasant as this stage may seem, it is
extremely important that you teach your pet how to react to the intense
stimulus. Otherwise, your dog may become confused and cower in the
correction field or instinctively run the wrong way through the field. Bear in
mind that you do not want to let your dog in on the knowledge that the
stimulus field is only a few feet wide. Let him think it continues forever.
A. With the training lead tightly in hand, escort your dog right up to the
boundary flag where the stimulus will be most intense.
B. The instant your dog reacts, utter the retreat command and escort your
dog into the safe zone. Use encouraging words, praise and pet your dog
and give the animal a treat as before.
C. Repeat this stage for fifteen minutes, three times per day until there is no
doubt that your dog has "Got it," observing your dog's resistance to
entering the boundary field or trying to retreat before the stimulus is
received. These are good signs.
D. Observe your pet: Once you are certain that your pet will INSTINCTIVELY
retreat at the first training tone, allow the animal to roam freely and observe
his behavior. Make sure that you see him stop at the boundary flags on his
own. If your dog shows the slightest sign of confusion or stubborn behavior,
continue the training program using the lead. It's okay to return to Stage 1
training if you think it is appropriate.
IMPORTANT CAUTION NOTICES
Dogs are Unpredictable: Because individual dogs have unique temperaments,
there is no way of knowing how your dog will react to its introduction to the
training program. For your safety and your dog's, initial training must take place
using a training lead so that you keep complete control over the situation. Also
realize that an aggressive animal could turn against the handler upon receiving
the shock stimulus. Therefore, if you feel your dog has an aggressive behavior or
has ever exhibited evidence of such behavior, we strongly suggest that you
consult a certified animal behaviorist before using this product as a training aid.
Skin Conditions: A small percentage of dogs may experience a skin condition
called pressure necrosis, caused by the pressure of the two probes against the
same place on the dog's neck for an extended period of time. This condition
causes an infection, creating irritation and sores. We recommend you check your
dog's neck often to ensure that no such condition is evident. If your dog has a
history of sensitive skin, eczema, skin allergies or rashes we recommend that
you do not use an electronic fence collar to contain an animal. If you do observe
a skin irritation, take your dog to a veterinarian who may prescribe a local
ointment to clear up the condition. Bear in mind that it is not possible for the
shock stimulus emitted by the Bluefang to directly damage your pet's skin. The
electrical current output is simply too low to cause burning, or any other type of
cellular, skin or organ damage. The stimulus excites nerve receptors only.
Neurological Conditions: In extremely rare cases, animals may have neurological
disorders such as epilepsy. You should be certain that your dog does not suffer
from such a disease before using any type of sonic, or shock stimulus training
collar. Also, make sure that your dog does not suffer from heart disease or any
other chronic condition and be assured that your pet is in generally good health
before using this product.
