Training

Understanding "avoidance training" and following the rules during

training will ensure that you and your pet get the most from your

system.

• Your pet does not intuitively know that he or she is not welcome

in all areas of your yard.

• Be aware that pets are sensitive to your attitude and mood. Stay

"upbeat" during a training session and he will be more receptive

to the training.

• Reward and reinforce good pet behavior.

• The system relies on "avoidance training" techniques. Your

yard is divided into safety and avoidance zones (see Figure 3).

If your pet advances toward an avoidance zone, he will receive an

audible warning. If your dog continues to move toward the

boundary wire after hearing the warning beeps, he will receive a

correction. Through training, your pet will learn to stay away from

areas that he associates with the audible warning.

• Do not comfort your pet after he receives a correction, as you will

be reinforcing anxiety.

• Even though you consider your pet a friend, effective training

depends on you being the leader and your pet being the follower.

• Be consistent! Do not break the training rules, even on special

occasions when you are tempted to allow your pet into a boundary

area "just this once". Make sure all family members follow the rules.
