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 (1A). Keep your mood happy and throw treats to 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 Boundary
Zone to receive the treat, the receiver collar will begin to beep (1B). As your pet remains in the Boundary Zone, he will
receive a mild Static Correction. Allow your pet to stay in the Boundary Zone for 2 seconds then gently help him back
into the Pet Area (1C). Immediately praise and offer your pet 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
Boundary Zone. If your pet continues to enter the Boundary 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 Boundary Zone.
