Maintain control of your dog on the leash, and have someone

complete an action to determine if your dog will test the

boundary:

• Cross the boundary and stand outside of the containment

area.

• Throw a ball or treat outside of the containment area.

• Walk another dog outside of the containment area.

Never coax or call your dog out of the containment area.

Complete an action:

• If your dog does not move toward the distraction, offer

praise and a treat.

• If your dog reacts to the distraction, allow your dog to go

to the boundary.

• If your dog does not turn back to the containment area

after 2 seconds, use a leash to help your dog back to the

containment area.

NOTE: Offer praise and a treat any time your dog returns to

the containment area with or without help.

Gradually increase the distraction level.

Complete an action:

• If your dog does not respond to the stimulation, confirm

that the dog collar device fits properly.

• If the dog collar device fits properly and your dog does not

respond to the stimulation, increase the stimulation level

by one.

Repeat this process with other distractions.

TIP: You can use a variety of people during this process,

including neighbors or other family members.

TIP: You should take your time and be patient with the

training.

Supervising Your Dog's Boundary Awareness

When your dog understands the boundary and returns to the

containment area even when there are distractions present, you

are ready to test how the dog responds off leash. You should

only attempt this when you are completely confident that your

dog is well trained to the boundary.

This training gives your dog free run of the containment area off

the leash.

Do not leave your dog unattended in the containment area.

On the base unit, set the stimulation level of the dog collar

device to the setting appropriate for your dog.

Play with your dog in the containment area as you normally

would.

Stay in the containment area, and don't intentionally test the

boundary.

After a while, allow your dog to explore the containment area

while you stay in the area observing.

NOTE: The dog should avoid the boundary area but

otherwise behave normally.

Monitor your dog for several off leash training sessions,

moving farther away from your dog for longer periods of time

until you are confident your dog will stay in the containment

area.

When you feel confident that your dog exhibits sufficient

boundary awareness, your dog is ready to be left unattended.

You should continue to monitor your dog at regular intervals

while he uses the wireless containment system.

Dog Training

NOTICE

Training Tips

• Keep the training process fun but firm.

• Be consistent in your training, including methods, commands,

and rewards.

• Limit training to 10- or 15-minute sessions.

• Plan for approximately 3 weeks of training.

NOTE: Training time may vary depending on how your dog

responds to training.

• Adjust your training schedule or increase the amount of play

time with your dog inside the boundary if your dog exhibits

signs of stress.

• Use other containment options during the training period,

including a dog pen, tie-out, or leash.

• Make sure your dog is ready to learn.

Typically, a hungry dog is more motivated to learn with treats.

• Remove the dog collar device, and either pick up your dog or

put your dog in the car to exit the boundary area.

• Finish each training session with lots of praise and play time.

• Remove the dog collar device after each training session.

• If your dog has problems learning a new stage in training,

repeat the last stage where your dog was successful.

• Even when your dog is responding well to the training,

continue consistent training until you are confident your dog

understands the containment area and how to behave at the

boundary.

Being patient and consistent are critical to your dog's success

with the wireless containment system.

Taking Your Dog Out of the Boundary Area

Remove the dog collar device when taking your dog out of the

boundary area.

Your dog will be reluctant to cross the boundary for walks or car

rides when he is fully trained. You can use these methods to

safely take your dog out of the boundary area. You can also turn

off containment

(Turning Off Containment, page

• Replace the dog collar device with a regular collar.

You can put your dog in a car that is inside the boundary and

drive out of the boundary.

• Replace the dog collar device with a regular collar and leash.

You can walk your dog out of the boundary and give a

positive command at a specific boundary location. For

example, say "OK" when you reach the end of the driveway

or sidewalk. You should always leave the boundary with a

leash at this location so your dog will associate leaving the

boundary on a leash, at this location, and with a person.

Initially, you may need to offer treats and praise to convince

your dog to leave the boundary. If needed, you can carry

your dog out of the boundary.

Turning Off Containment

You can turn off containment from the base unit. For example,

when your dog is in the house or before going on walks.

When containment is off, you can use the features of the dog

collar device, such as the BarkLimiter

options available in the Garmin Canine app.

On the base unit, select a dog.

Select Containment > Off.
