Hooray!
Hopefully your dog has been trained on the
Dog Guard® Fencing system; if not, your in the right place.
By now he should have a basic idea of his new boundaries. Remember that this is all still new to him and even though he understands the concept, it hasn't become an everyday habit yet.
Most dogs will make mistakes during their first week on the system. Don't get
too concerned! Soon your dog will become comfortable with the boundaries and
will adjust to the whole process. The following instructions may be helpful if
you run into problems while training your dog. When working with dogs it is
easier to PREVENT problems than to FIX them! So, if you have any questions,
always call your Dog Guard® dealer!
Training Tips
Problem 1: Home Bodies & Porch Sitters
If you have a dog that doesn't want to go out of the house or is sticking close to the house, be patient. Time is your best friend. The more sensitive your dog is, the longer it will take him to explore the yard. Eventually, your dog will use the whole yard.
The main problem with this scenario is that your dog's enthusiasm is very low and his containment is very high. Your job is to get his enthusiasm back up. Here are some tips that will help you work through this challenge:
If your dog has run through the fence more than twice, his desire to get out is greater than his concern for the correction of the fence. To solve this break out problem you can either turn off the transmitter or take off his Dog Guard receiver collar. This will allow the dog to come back through the perimeter without getting shocked. Put the collar back on the dog once he's inside his boundary.
If your dog acts like he doesn't feel the correction it is for one of two reasons. Either his collar is too loose, or there is too much hair between the probes and his skin. In both cases he will not feel any correction. To remedy this, try adjusting the collar. If that doesn't work, try trimming the fur directly beneath the probes.
If you have a dog that runs through the fence more than three times, call your dealer immediately. Adjustments may have to be made in either the receiver or the field. Please call your dealer before attempting to make any changes to your transmitter settings.
To ensure a consistent signal, the dog's collar must be secured as illustrated above. To do this, make sure the probes are closest to the dog's chest so that the receiver hangs down at a slight angle.
*It is important to
periodically check the size and fit of your pet's nylon collar. As
he grows, the collar's size will have to be adjusted to provide a
secure, comfortable fit.
Taking Your Dog for a Walk - Three Proven Methods
In all three methods you must take the dog's receiver collar off. If you don't take the collar off and you enter the correction zone of a house that has a Dog Guard fence, your dog will get a correction. It is important that you remove the collar instead of turning the fence off at the transmitter.
Method 1 - The Carry
Simply pick your dog up and carry him through the perimeter. Please only
use this if you have a small dog and you can safely lift and carry him.
Put the dog down once you have generously passed the barrier. Use the
same maneuver when returning through the fence.
Method 2 - The Drive
Put your dog in the car and drive through. Much like the pick up method,
but a little less strenuous for large hound owners.
Method 3 - Begin at the Beginning
From the day your fence is installed, follow the same route when taking
your pet out of the yard, making sure to leave and enter the yard in the
same spot each time. If this is done consistently before and during
training, your pet will associate you, the leash, and the route as a
safe means of leaving the yard.
