How to Train My Pet to a PetSafe® Guardian® GPS + Tracking Fence Phase 3: Train to Resist Distractions and Temptations
Training your pet to use the PetSafe® Guardian® GPS +Tracking Connected Customizable Fence is necessary to successfully contain your pet. This process should not be rushed. Patience, consistency, and a minimum time commitment of 15 days are required. Each pet is different and may require more time, but less time is not ideal. There should be 2-3 training sessions daily and kept to 10-15 minutes each. Pets can be sensitive, so it is important to keep a positive attitude. If you become frustrated, so will your pet.
Before You Begin:
You will need to place a regular collar on your pet in addition to the GPS Collar. You will also need a leash and some of your pet’s favorite treats.
Never attach a leash to the PetSafe® Guardian® GPS + Tracking collar.
Phase 3: Train to Resist Distractions and Temptations
Retain the settings on the collar from the previous training sessions.
Attach the leash to the pet’s regular collar.
Stage some distractions outside of the pet area to test your pet’s reliability. This can be a person walking past, someone walking by with a dog, or having a toy placed outside the boundary before the pet’s training session. Never coax your pet over the boundary area.
After your training sessions, remove the collar and provide your pet with praise and playtime.
Once your pet no longer shows interest by moving in the direction of the distraction, move to Phase 4: Supervised Off-Leash Play
