How The DogWatch Hidden Fence Works
Think of the property having two distinct zones:
1.
SAFETY ZONE:
This is the area where the dog is free to play (Figure 8).
2.
AVOIDANCE ZONE:
This is the signal field created by the boundary wire. When
your dog crosses the signal field, the receiver collar emits an audible warning
followed by a correction. When containment training is complete, your dog will remain
in the Safety Zone.

Adjusting the Receiver Collar
Your DogWatch Dealer has installed your DogWatch Hidden Fence System, set the
transmitter and receiver to the training levels appropriate for your dog's personality
and traits, and has placed boundary flags around the perimeter of your yard. Your
Dealer has already begun your dog's first day of containment training. Now it is your
turn to continue the training.
Before you begin containment training with your dog, be sure to place the DogWatch
receiver collar on your dog's neck before you go outside.
1. The collar should be worn snugly on the dog's neck. This is extremely important!
2. Place no more than one thumb width between the contact post and dog's neck.
3. When checking snugness of collar, the dog's
neck should be facing down (sniffing position)
as this is where the dog's neck is the smallest.
(Figure 9).
4. If the collar is too tight, the receiver unit will
stick out to the side when the dog shakes his
head.
5. If the collar is too loose, the dog will not receive
the intended correction when he or she
wanders into the Avoidance Zone. (Figure 10.)
6. Remember to periodically check for irritation
around the dog's neck.
7. DogWatch strongly recommends that the
collar be removed daily and when the dog is
inside the house.

Containment Training Reminders
Purpose: To teach your dog where the boundary
is and how to react to it.
1. Only a portion of the yard, the Avoidance Zone,
is to be avoided.
2.
Playtime is very important!
Remember to
reinforce the Safety Zone and play with your
dog before, during, and after each training
sessions. (Figure 11)
3. Never throw a ball or toy into the Avoidance
Zone during training.
4. There are 6 phases of training. Your DogWatch
Dealer will begin containment training on the
audible "beep" tone, Level 1 or Level 2,
depending on your dog's breed and
personality. Your Dealer will work with you and
your dog to insure you understand the training
phases and at what phase you should continue
training.
5. If you have questions about containment
training, please contact your DogWatch Dealer
for assistance.

PHASE 1 (1-2 days)
Audible or "Beep" Training
During this phase, your DogWatch Dealer has turned off the Mode switch on the
transmitter and correction rate on the receiver. Your dog will hear only an audible
"beep" tone and will not receive a correction during this phase.
1. Put the receiver collar on your dog 20 minutes before training. Your dog's regular
collar should be positioned below the DogWatch collar.
2. Clip the green DogWatch training lead on his regular collar.
3. Take your dog outside and play with him in the Safety Zone for a few minutes.
4. Walk your dog around the perimeter of your yard, keeping inside the Safety Zone
and away (about 3 to 4 feet) from the training flags.
5. When you finish the walk, approach a training flag. Hold the dog by the leash in
one hand and slap or shake a flag with the other,warning the dog firmly (in a low
stern voice) "Watch out! or "Careful!" (Figure 12.) You can also use a friend or
family member to sit in the Avoidance Zone to slap or wave the flag as you
approach the flags.
6. Give a leash (tug) correction, and quickly retreat into the Safety Zone. This creates
a sense of urgency to the retreat. It is not a casual turn. Remember to use of lot of
"Good dog!" praise after you've retreated into the Safety Zone.
7. Now walk your dog around the property allowing him to enter the Avoidance Zone
between the two flags.
