Training Your Dog
Please take your time training your dog
and complete each step of the process
to enjoy optimal performance from your
system. If you have questions along the
way, expert advise is only a call away
(1-866-900-2007).
The goal of fence training is to help you
teach your dog to identify and respect her
new fence, to make the training fair—so
your dog will understand the consequenc-
es of leaving and to make the training
fun—so your dog will enjoy staying and
playing on your property.
Completely trusting your dog with his WiFi
Fence will take place over the course of
about 3 weeks. The training is a small part
of the three weeks, the rest of the time is
just close supervision.
Time should be set aside to work with your
dog for 10-15 minutes, two times per day.
Both you and your dog will appreciate
short, fun lessons and make the training
more effective. There are six phases to
the training lessons:
LESSON 1: Back Away From the Fence!
6 Sessions
LESSON 2: Respect the Fence
1 Session
LESSON 3: Adding interesting distractions
8 Sessions
LESSON 4: Off Lead With Supervision
1 Week
LESSON 5: Off Lead Unsupervised
2 Weeks
LESSON 6: Flag Removal
Every other day until gone
• Use a calendar so you can keep track
of the training process. Your dog’s
behavior will tell you when it is time to
proceed to the next level.
• A training session includes putting the
PetLink™collar on your dog, making
sure that the collar has the proper fit
high on the dog’s neck and the collar is
making contact with the skin.
