How to Train Your Pet to the PetSafe® Rechargeable In-Ground Fence™ Phase 4: Unleashed Supervision
Avoid leaving the collar on your pet for more than 12 hours per day to prevent skin irritation. If skin irritation does occur, stop using the collar and call your vet.
Training your pet to a PetSafe® Rechargeable In-Ground Fence™ is essential for successful integration into your and your pet’s lives.
At a minimum, you will need to commit to three sessions, on three different days of training for 10-15 minutes each session for each phase. You will also need to have toys and treats available for praise at each session.
If your pet shows signs of stress, increase the amount of playtime in the pet area. Signs of stress can include ears tucked, tail down, cowering, pulling on the leash, or stiffening.
Walk around the yard with your pet off-leash to establish comfort.
If your pet leaves the boundary area, remove the collar, and walk the pet back into the pet area.
