The Petsafe instant fence utilizes a revolutionary concept that offers the safest and simplest form of pet containment. The installation process itself is very easy. The system’s transmitter can simply be plugged in any convenient area in the house or garage. Your dog can wear a lightweight receiver collar that will detect the signal emitted by the transmitter. While the collar is receiving the signal, your dog can freely play in the contained area. Once the pet approaches the boundary, a simple beep will warn him. If he doesn’t heed the beep, a startling light static energy will shock your pet. However, this is harmless.
Training Your Pet
Your pet may avoid frequent harmless shocks if you train him to learn his boundaries. An instructional video on how to train your dog comes with the Petsafe instant fence kit. After adjusting the containment area to your preference, you can mark the boundary by placing the training flags within the edges of the signal area. The kit also comes with 50 small training flags.
To start off, you can walk your pet around the boundary using a leash while holding the collar. While walking around, you can shake the flags while saying no to your dog. You can even let him hear the collar’s beep. You can also use conditioning to enhance learning by alternately giving out scraps of food while training. You may do this for a couple of days until you think your dog has learned enough.
Testing Your Pet and the System
Now that you have trained your pet numerous times, you can let your pet wear the collar and walk around the boundary on his own. You can even let him cross the boundary and feel the correction. Once he is corrected, you can quickly pull him off, point the flags again, and say no to him. Through this, he will remember the corresponding correction every time he crosses the flags. You can repeat this process every day for a few weeks, and once your dog has learned its new boundaries, you can already remove the flags.
Factors to Consider while Dog Training
Your dog should be at least six months of age before starting the training, although it also depends on your dog’s breed. As soon as the owner observes that the dog is accepting the correction, one call pull out his pet and redirect him through the sit and stay command.
If you want to take your dog for a walk out of the boundary, you can create the concept of “invisible gate.” You can take out the dog through the “invisible gate.” To do this, you can put a long leash on the collar and turn it off as well. Remove the collar and command the dog to the “sit and stay” position near the area that you designated as the invisible gate. One can come out of the invisible gate as ask the dog to “come.” When you see your dog chewing the collar, you can pull him off and command him to the sit and stay position.
