Great tool for the patient owner!

If you've never used any of these systems before, you understand one thing: it's more of a training device than a restraint system. It takes a few weeks of work to teach your dog to respect the boundaries you have set for them, but with a little work they will do it, and you will want a dog in every house for the rest of your life where you live. Installation: My favorite way of burying wire is by cutting the ground with a bevel. I have one that attaches to my small 25cc trimmer. It takes time and effort, but it gets the job done. If you have a large yard it might be better to hire a large edger for the day as it will cut much faster. The interior is easy to install and the instructions are well written and concise. Keep in mind that your dog will most likely stay a few yards from the line, so keep that in mind when deciding on placement. Training: Set up warning flags as instructed and walk the dog on a leash for a week to allow it to approach the line. flags, then pull them back with a verbal warning and give them plenty of reinforcements when they return to the safety of the yard. The idea here is to convince the dog that there is danger out there and get him to stay in the crate, show him love and praise for being close to home again. I like to do this process without the collar on the dog, in a week or so I'll hold the collar in my hand (being careful not to touch the contacts of course) and let them hear the warning tones and then call them back. within the line and praise. This can be a lengthy process depending on how well your dog adapts to and "gets" the training. As soon as you start collaring your dog and he goes into shock for the first time, you should be there to call him back and praise him for staying close. Again, it takes time, but you will learn. Finally, after a few weeks, remove the flags as the dog will know where the line is and know not to be challenged. Bottom Line: Take the time to read the instructions, follow the training instructions and this system will work every time. I once saw my dog outside looking at people, other dogs, even a rabbit and he would NOT cross that line. Even if I forget to put the collar on he stays in the yard, this system helped him define the boundaries of his territory which ultimately makes him much happier.
