Boundary Training Tips

1. Never call your dog to "come" or give a recall command when you are outside the flag line.
2. Never walk your dog through the flags during a training session.
3. Always reinforce the retreat concept by shaking the flags while saying "Watch out!" when your dog receives an audible warning or a correction during a training session.
4. Adjust the receiver collar, test the battery regularly, and keep the contact posts clean.
5. After the training period, your dog may wear the receiver collar during the day, but remove it at night. Check your dog's neck area and make sure thereis no irritation.
6. Keep the training consistent: 10 to 15 minutes once or twice a day.
7. NEVER throw a stick or toy in the avoidance zone.
8. ALWAYS maintain a positive attitude when training your dog.
9. Remember to praise and play in the safe zone during a traning session.
