Can I take my dog for a walk now that he is trained to the Invisible Fence System? PDF Print E-mail

We encourage you to take your dog for a walk. However, we recommend that he is completely trained to the Invisible Fence system and all the flags have been removed, which usually takes a couple of weeks, before taking him on walks.

You should follow the same routine every time you take your dog for a walk. We recommend you follow this routine: (1) Walk your dog up to the edge of the boundary line. (2) Tell him to "Sit." Tell him to "Wait." (3) Put on the collar he normally wears when walking on a lead. (4) Attach a short lead to this collar. (5) Remove his Invisible Fence Computer Collar. (6) Then walk him across the boundary with a clear "Ok, let's go."

Following this routine in the same place in your yard each time you want your dog to leave the yard, makes it easy for him to learn that he can safely leave his yard in this specific set of circumstances.

After you return to the yard (in the same place you left the yard), test your dog to make sure that he understands that when his Computer Collar is on he cannot leave the yard. The routine you should follow when you return to your yard is: (1) Bring your dog back into the safe area at the same place you left the yard. (2) Put the Computer Collar on your dog and remove the other collar and the lead attached to it. (3) Act like you are going to leave the yard again. Do not say anything. (4) If your dog follows you he will be corrected by the Invisible Fence system for trying to leave. The correction he receives reinforces the idea that he can safely leave the yard only when a specific routine is followed.
