How old does a
dog have to be before starting training? |
| |
This is somewhat breed dependent,
but most breeds should be 16-20 weeks of age. |
| |
|
| 2. |
During training
an owner observes their dog sitting in the correction
zone. The owner has touched the probes and has determined
the collar is working. The owner can see the dog's
skin flinch, so he is sure the dog is receiving
the correction. What should the owner do to prevent
this from happening? |
| |
Retrain the dog by putting
it on a long leash. As soon as the dog is observed
entering the corrective zone it should be pulled
out and redirected to the "sit" and "stay"
command. |
| |
|
| 3. |
Once a dog is trained
to the system what is the best way to take the dog
out of the boundary? |
| |
Create what is called an
"underground gate" and take the dog out
only through this gate. |
| |
|
| 4. |
Once a dog is trained
to the system how does the owner create the "underground
gate" concept? |
| |
Place a long leash on the
dog. Turn the system off. Remove the dog's collar.
Put the dog on the "sit" and "stay"
command near the area that will become the "gate".
Owner walks out of yard and asks dog to "come". |
| |
|
| 5. |
If a dog is running
through the system at only one spot in the yard,
how is this corrected? |
| |
Set him up at this location.
For example, have him on a long leash and then have
someone else walk by that spot or walk their dog
by that spot. When the dog attempts to leave - pull
him back with the leash and then redirect him to
the "sit" and "stay" commands. |
| |
|
| 6. |
Can an owner use
the containment fence to train other dogs from coming
into the owner's yard? |
| |
Only if the other dogs are
wearing a receiver collar. |
| |
|
| 7. |
What is the dummy
collar effect? |
| |
This is a procedure where
the collar is eliminated as a factor in learning.
In other words, the dog wears the collar without
it being activated for 3-5 days. This way the dog
does not learn that the collar causes the correction,
but rather getting to close to the yard boundary. |
| |
|
| 8. |
How long should
an owner take to create the dummy collar effect? |
| |
On the average, it will
take at least 3 days and as long as 7 days. |
| |
|
| 9. |
How many days should
the dog wear a deactivated collar before receiving
the correction for the first time? |
| |
At least three days and
in some cases as long as 7 days. |
| |
|
| 10. |
The first time
the dog receives the correction should he be on
or off a leash? |
| |
On the leash. This way the
owner can easily redirect the dog to the appropriate
behavior. |
| |
|
| 11. |
What is the purpose
of having the dog on a leash the first time he receives
the correction? |
| |
So in the even the dog would
become confused, the owner can easily direct him
to the appropriate behavior. |
| |
|
| 12. |
How long should
the owner leave the flags up? |
| |
The flags should remain
for at least 2 weeks, but in some cases as long
as 30 days. |
| |
|
| 13. |
What is meant by
the "safe zone"? |
| |
The area where the dog can
roam freely without getting a correction. |
| |
|
| 14. |
Does the correction
cause pain or harm to my dog? |
| |
Absolutely not. The correction
is safe, painless and humane. |
| |
|
| 15. |
Is this a humane
way to train a dog? |
| |
Absolutely. The HSUS would
not put their logo on the package if it wasn't. |
| |
|
| 16. |
Can I use this
system to train my dog to stop jumping over or digging
under wood or metal fences? |
| |
Yes. In fact approximately
40% of those buying a containment fence already
own an existing physical fence. |
| |
|
| 17. |
How do I prevent
one dog from chewing on the collar of another dog? |
| |
If you see one dog chewing
on the other dog's collar - pull him off and redirect
him to "sit" and "stay". Also,
a daily spraying of Lysol on the dog's collar will
help repel the other dog. |

How many feet of
wire can the deluxe system handle? |
| |
The deluxe system can handle
up to 8600 feet of wire. |
| |
|
| 2. |
What is the difference
between the standard and the deluxe system? |
| |
The Deluxe System is capable
of transmitting on up to 8600 feet of wire and will
cover 100 acres, the Standard System can enclose
up to 25 acres. The Deluxe System has three
different operating modes; Warning, Warning and
Correction, Correction only. The Standard System
has only the Warning and Correction Setting.
The Deluxe System is a much more powerful transmitter
and therefore works better in adverse conditions
such as snow, ice and poor soil. Finally,
the Deluxe System has better lightning protection. |
| |
|
| 3. |
Which model will
work best for me? |
| |
Both systems will work fine
for most users, but the deluxe system has more options. |
| |
|
| 4. |
How
do I keep the signal out of the back yard? |
| |
On your layout of the wire
you will need to do a double loop in the front yard,
this is where you run a wire twice in the front
yard, this way there is no wire in the back. |
| |
|
| 5. |
How do I twist
one wire together to cancel the signal? |
| |
In order to cancel the signal
you MUST close your continuous loop, then twist
the two ends of the wire together. It must be twisted
8 to 10 twists per foot. This is best achieved by
using a drill or cordless screwdriver. |
| |
|
| 6. |
Can I use a different
size other than the 18-gauge wire for the boundary? |
| |
Yes, as long as you use
a solid or stranded wire that is an 18, 16, or 14
gauge. |
| |
|
| 7. |
Can I locate my
transmitter inside my metal shed? |
| |
Yes, but be aware that metal
may interfere with the signal. Test before installing. |
| |
|
| 8. |
Why can’t I locate
my transmitter on my back-porch? |
| |
The unit needs to be in
a dry environment. |
| |
|
| 9. |
How can I connect
more wire together to contain a larger area? |
| |
Strip the end of the wires,
place them together, and screw on a wire nut. |
| |
|
| 10. |
Will underground
Fence equipment work with your system? |
| |
No. They are using a different
type of signal. |
| |
|
| 11. |
Is the receiver
waterproof? |
| |
Yes. |
| |
|
| 12. |
Can I run the wire
through my chain link fence? |
| |
Yes, but your system may
be affected by the metal in the fence. We suggest
you try the wire in the fence before permanently
installing the wire. |
| |
|
| 13. |
Why does the transmitter
beep? |
| |
There may be a break in
the wire or it may not be installed completely. |
| |
|
| 14. |
Why will the loop
light not come on? |
| |
Check for a break in the
wire and make sure the wires are connected properly. |
| |
|
| 15. |
Can
I run my wire through my house? |
| |
Yes, but
your house wiring and metal pipes may cause the
system to not work as well as it can. Also, your
dog may receive a correction while in the house. |
| |
|
| 16. |
I
cannot hear the receiver? |
| |
The unit is tightly enclosed
for waterproofing reasons it will not be beeping
loud. If you wish to hear the unit beep, take the
lid off, and test the receiver against the wire.
Also check to make sure the battery is good. |
| |
|
| 17. |
How
many dogs can I put on the system? |
| |
As many as you wish, but
each dog will need a separate collar. |
| |
|
| 18. |
Will
this unit harm my family with pace makers? |
| |
Contact the manufacturer
of the pacemaker, and let them know we are using
a 10.65KHz signal. |
