This is somewhat breed dependent, but most breeds should be 16-20 weeks of age. 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. 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 "invisible gate" and take the dog out only through this gate. Once a dog is trained to the system how does the owner create the "invisible 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".

When he touches the Scat Mat, he receives a mild static shock and will quickly learn to stay away from that area. If your dog or cat has a habit of rolling, scratching and shedding on your rug, Scat Mat will encourage him to move elsewhere. If the cat likes to stand at your bird cage and frighten the birds, Scat Mat will end that annoyance.

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. Can an owner use the Radio pet to train other dogs from coming into the owner''s yard? Only if the other dogs are wearing a receiver collar. 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. 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.
