STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Before you start training, ensure that the transmitter and boundary wire

are installed and that the receiver collar is adjusted properly.

1. Place markers on the edge of the boundary area – the zones in which

the receiver collar picks up a radio signal. Markers serve as visual

clues for your pet

(see Diagram 3).

2. Play with him in the safety zone for several minutes. Attach a leash to

your pet’s regular collar and walk him around inside the safety zone.

Approach a boundary area, shake a warning marker in front of him,

and firmly say, “Watch out!” or “Careful!”

3. Walk your pet near a boundary zone and allow him to walk between the

warning markers. As he crosses into the boundary area, he will receive

an audible warning and an electrical stimulation. Immediately call out,

“Watch out”, and pull your pet back from the avoidance zone. Return him

to the safety zone and play with him for a few minutes to reinforce the

idea that there is a safe zone and there are areas to avoid.

4. Again, allow your pet to approach a boundary zone. If he hears the

audible warning and retreats to the safety zone, reinforce the behav-

ior with praise and affection. If your pet fails to stop at the audible

warning and receives an electrical stimulation, say “Watch out” as he

approaches the avoidance zone. Use the leash to pull him back to the

safety zone before he crosses completely into an avoidance zone.

Your pet will quickly learn not to go near the boundary areas. Each

time you set up a new boundary area, be sure to retrain your pet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Receiver

Why is my dog not getting a correction? Test the receiver by placing

the test light on the contact posts and holding the receiver next to the

transmitter or boundary wire. Replace the battery if necessary. Be sure

the battery is inserted correctly. Ensure that the contact points on the

receiver collar actually touch your pet’s skin; tighten the collar as

required. Make sure that the battery cap is facing downward when your

pet is wearing the receiver unit.

Transmitter

If the power is on, should the unit light be blinking? If you’re using

the AM version, the green power light will blink. On the FM version, the

Power light is a steady green light. Make sure that the power supply

transformer is securely plugged into the wall outlet and that both the

power supply plug and the boundary wire are correctly connected into

the transmitter. Adjust the Range +/– switch. It may be set on too narrow

a range, allowing your pet to get too close to a boundary area before

receiving a warning. Check your MODE setting.

Never adjust the trans-

mitter while your pet is wearing the receiver collar.

Wiring

Why isn’t the green light on? Check the Power. (Page 2.) If your unit

is wireless, be sure it is set appropriately to “INT” and that it is plugged

in to an outlet. If your unit is connected to a boundary wire loop you may

have a broken boundary wire. Make sure that the boundary wire is con-

nected to “EXT” and that the boundary wire forms a continuous loop. If

the boundary is broken or disconnected, the loop light will go out. To test

for a break in the loop, move the switch from EXT to INT and if the

green light comes on, you have a break in the boundary loop. Contact

your dealer.
