Setup:
• Programme the Receiver Collar to Mode 1.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar and
attach a leash. Note: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
• Have tiny pieces of treats that your pet will fi nd desirable available (hot dogs or lunch
meat work well).
• Have your pet’s favourite play toy available.
Steps:
1. Begin by walking your pet on a leash in the Pet Area. Calmly praise and talk to your pet,
occasionally giving treats.
2. Move toward the Boundary Flags (10A). Keep your mood happy and throw treats on the ground.
3. With full control of your pet on a leash, toss a treat on the outside edge of the fl ags. As your
pet enters the Static Correction Zone to receive the treat, he will begin to receive a mild Static
Correction (10B). The longer your pet remains in the Static Correction Zone, the stronger the
Static Correction will get. Allow him to stay in the Static Correction Zone for 2 seconds then
gently help your pet back into the Pet Area (10C). Immediately praise and offer him a treat as
he enters the Pet Area, even if you have helped with the leash. Wiggle a Boundary Flag to help
your pet understand that the discomfort of the Static Correction happens around the fl ags.
4. Repeat this process at several different Boundary Flags. Your pet should start to resist
going after the treat in the Static Correction Zone. If your pet continues to enter the
Static Correction Zone, check the fi t of his Receiver Collar and allow him 2-3 seconds
in the zone before pulling him back to the Pet Area.
Note: Never allow your pet to eat the treat in the Static Correction Zone.
