In Phase 2 of training, your dog will experience higher correction levels on the dog fence collar. Begin by walking your dog within the containment zone, offering plenty of praise and treats like small pieces of hot dog. Allow your dog to approach the training flags. When he enters the signal field, he’ll feel a harmless static correction. It might startle him, making him jump or yelp?"this is normal. If this happens, gently guide him back into the safe area, keeping a smile and providing positive reinforcement. Ensure you never lure or call your dog into the signal field. Let him choose whether to stay or explore.
Introduce “set-ups” during training sessions. These are scenarios designed to tempt your dog to cross the boundary, such as people walking by or other pets nearby. This will teach your dog to always be aware of his location. Start by having a family member leave the yard while your dog is leashed and wearing the collar. Remember, don’t call your dog out of the boundary!
If your dog doesn’t follow, praise him warmly?"he’s learning! If he does follow, allow him to enter the signal field and receive a correction. He might jump or yelp, but guide him back with encouragement and praise. Repeat this with different “set-ups” like toys or treats placed near the boundary. Choose something that excites your dog, such as throwing a treat just beyond the flags. This is crucial for your dog’s learning process.
If your dog doesn’t react in the signal field, it could be due to the collar being too loose or thick fur preventing good contact. Ensure the collar fits properly. If there’s still no response, consider increasing the correction level. For guidance on adjusting your PetSafe dog collar, click [here](http://www.discount-pet-superstore.com/outdoor/deluxe.htm).
Before moving to Phase 3, ensure your dog is happily playing within the safe area and avoiding the flags. If needed, spend a few more days on Phase 2.
