He presents training in 7 days. Each of 7 items are commands that he believes a dog should know. They are presented in part ii of the book ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq . The parts of the guideare divided: part i know your dog part ii the seven commands part iii cures for 7 behavior problems. Each chapter presents a topic, a dog's story, and a "what to do". It was written simply and you can jump from chapter to chapter to review anything as needed.
The Guide elaborates on the techniques used on the show. The examples given in the ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 are helpful and some of the techniques suggested very useful. One such technique/tool suggested was the lure stick to encourage a small dog to keep up with the heel command. I have a small dog who lags behind smelling any and everything and find it hard to keep bending over while walking to his level. The lure stick is great also for another dogs focus and sprinting at anything that catches her eye. The stories about different dogs, their different temperaments, have been helpful, especially Lulu's: After reading about Lulu's challenges I felt relief concerning one of my rescues that I have had for 10 years. Over many years I have checked out many training books from the library, watched different shows, DVDS, bought training books, taken lessons and this book is the best by far! Kindness, patience and perseverance works.
Thanks for asking! Any dogs can be trained on the system. However, it's important to mention that some dogs may take a little longer to understand and recognize their new boundaries, while others may take to it right away. Every dog is different, but patience is key!
Thanks so much for the video! this will really help me train my malti-pug.
This video is really helping with my dogs training, thank you for posting! (:
You should do this video with a dog like mine who is not well behaved it’d probably be a lot different lol. I’ll be trying soon
I feel your pain 😂
Great video... hope this goes smoothly with our dog...!
What a fluffy dog.
I'm not using this as a replacement for a fence. I'm using this for an area that is simply can't be fenced. My backyard is fenced on 3 sides but the rear side is up against a bayou that is increasingly drying up and allowing the dog to swim/walk around the fencing when the mud bottom becomes exposed.
Dylan9096 yeah all you have to do is hit that button that lights up according to the paper what level of correction you want
I’d recommend using blue or yellow marking flags in lieu of the white ones. Blue and yellow are the most recognizable colors to a dog.
According to what I read in the manual only level 1 has a tone feature. Is that correct?
@@jimnummerdor9687 I’m still figuring the unit settings out but that’s what I’ve read as well. I haven’t used the collar much so far. I liberally used yellow marking flags and trained him (on long 15 foot lead) to avoid them with verbal commands and reward him with praise. It took about 30 minutes for him to associate the flags as a barrier…..so much to the point that I accidentally dropped the leash and he never left the boundary. I’m going make sure he understands the yellow flags = boundary concept a couple more times and then transition to the collar. BTW he can clearly recognize the yellow flags MUCH better than the original white ones (which were left over on the property). It’s important he knows the boundaries because where I live a lost animal might as well be a dead one.
Thank you for asking about this, Jim! Level one is tone only; this does not mean the other levels do not have tone, but that the first level has only tone, without static. The other levels do have tone as a warning, then static. We do apologize for any misunderstanding.

I called Petsafe customer service a couple days ago. Found out that the collar I bought is defective the tone doesn’t work at all. Also there should be a corrective tone in all 5 levels. New collar is supposed to be on its way to me. However they said that I would receive a email with a tracking number but that hasn’t happened yet.
Hello Jim, thank you for sharing this experience. We're happy to hear our Customer Care Team was able to get you taken care of. We do apologize you have not received tracking information on your order just yet. We are experiencing some delays due to illness causing short staffing at our warehouse. Please call us at 1-800-732-2677 for further assistance and updates on your order when you can. We appreciate your understanding.
Wow, lots of info on how to change the battery or settings, but nothing for invisible fence syncing to new collars
Hi there! Compatible collars do not require syncing, as they will automatically connect to your fence!
is there a way to put a wireless remote with the system. because it will be very nice to go out side. using the shock collar if accidents where to occur.
+vortex5c I have seen a remotely controlled shock collar, but not for use with the containment system. The guy used it on his German Shepherd on a low setting to get the dogs attention if he became too fixated on something. ( such as another dog in the distance or a squirrel, etc.. )
Thank you for reaching out with this question. While at the time there was not a model that had both features, our sister company at SportDog does have a contain + train system that would work with the same wire. If you are still looking for this solution that can be found here - www.sportdog.com/in-ground-fencing/contain-train-system
My dog lives outside and wears his collar 24 hours a day. We live on a busy highway. We have never had any negative issues with this and he has never had any type of sores or anything.
We are happy to hear you have not experienced any issues however we do advise against wearing the collars for more than 8 hours. If you have questions you may contact our customer care center at 1-800-732-2677 Mon. - Fri. 8am - 7pm ET
What kind of dog???
@Graupella how is that in anyway relevant to this video? of another dog wants to attack your dog it will get through any fencing system no matter what
Is training for YardMax infinite fence the same as for non-infinite fences?
Thank you for your question, Jonathon! Yes, the training for the YardMax system is the same as the training for the rest of our in-ground containment systems.
If my great dane is completely responsive to the vibration level should I move it up to static correction?
Thank you for this question, Tiffani! If your dog is responding reliably on the level the collar is at, we would not recommend increasing it. We would only ever recommend increasing the level of the collar if your dog completely disregards it.
It is important to mention that the only fencing collar that has vibration is the stubborn dog collar. If you have any other model of collar, it does not have vibration, but instead has a tone only mode, and then varying levels of static correction.
If you have any further questions, please contact our Customer Care team. Our number is 1-800-732-2677, and our hours are Monday through Friday 8 A.M.- 8 P.M. EST and Saturdays 9 A.M.- 5 P.M. EST.
What do you do or how do you get your dog to the containment area, if your dog wants to go inside and won't budge toward the containment area? I'm trying to start day 1 of training, right now it is difficult to get him to walk outside. Would different times of the day be a good idea?
Thank you for your question! If your dog doesn't currently have any interest being in the yard, then it would be beneficial to try different times of the day when he is more excited to be outside. It can also help to engage with a little bit of play in the yard or work on some basic commands to help engage his brain prior to beginning your training.
@@petsafebrand thank you I'll do that.
When training are you supposed to pull the dog back at the warning tone or in the correction area when the dog crosses the boundary and is shocked?
Thank you for this question. In the first phase of training, with full control of your pet on a leash, walk to the flags. As your pet enters the Static Correction Zone, the Receiver Collar will begin to beep. Allow your pet to stay in the Static Correction Zone for up to 2 seconds then gently help him back into the Pet Area. Immediately praise and offer your pet a treat as he enters the Pet Area, even if you have helped with the leash. Should you need any further assistance with training, please refer to the training guide detailed by day in your product's manual or we are happy to answer any further questions if you give us a call at 1-800-732-2677.
@@petsafebrand thanks
I'm a bit frustrated. I spent several hours moving the transmitter around the house trying to find the best location and power setting. The best place is basically right in front of our patio door.
The biggest issue is we're not getting a decent circle on our property. There's a 20ft wide "hole" in the wireless perimeter right at our boulevard that would allow our pet to completely cross the street. I turn down the power, but then he can barely move about our backyard.
There must be interference somewhere in our neighborhood causing issues in the wireless perimeter.
Our property is pretty narrow, which also doesn't help.
I'll have to check if I can return the product after cutting to collar, per the instructions.
We're so sorry that the wireless system was not the best fit for your situation!
We would love to speak with you about this directly, to see what could be causing this interference, and if an in-ground/wired system might be a better fit. Please contact our Customer Care team; we'll be happy to help in any way we can.
My dog was eating the flags! lol! We did this in the winter so we used food colouring as boundary lines. Anyone else have this issue? :)
Yes
No
But
Good
Idea
do you set the collar to level 1 on the first day of training or is level 1 set on the transmitter ? thanks !
Thank you for asking about this! You would set the collar to level one, the tone only mode. The levels on the transmitter control distance, not collar setting/strength. We do apologize for any confusion.
@@petsafebrand ok Thanks for the reply appreciated, i don't see any level controls on the collar so I guess mine doesn't have this option. One other immediate question if you don't mind. So I have my flags all put out in place and ready to start day one of training. I have a big yard and will want to take my dog out beyond the flag area how can I do this without messing up his training as the training is teaching him to stay inside the flag zone. How does a dog distinguish between when it's ok to go beyond the safe area and when it's not ok ? Hmmm I don't want to mess my boy up , Thanks !
he is the sweetest puppy too here he is lol ua-cam.com/video/jL6Vfr8PFtg/v-deo.html
Thank you for your prompt response. It is important to mention that many of our collars are designed with a black rubber button to change the level of stimulation. However, to provide the most accurate instructions on how to set this we would need to collect the model number of your receiver collar. Since we cannot direct message you here, we'd recommend reaching out to us via phone so we can walk you through setup, training tips, and more detailed information for your pup. Please give us a call at 1-866-738-4379 between the hours of 8 am - 7pm ET Monday to Friday.
Good boy Jake.!!!
i know this is a little late but i assume it would take a little longer for a puppy?
Petsafe does not recommend training on a dog younger than 6 months.
@@norcalranchgirl3789 alright sounds good!
Does the PetSafe wireless containment system work if the house has a metal roof?
Thank you for your question! While the system can often work with a metal roof, there are also instances where the metal roof can cause interference issues. The best way to determine if the system will be suitable for use with a home with a metal roof is to set it up and see if it responds at the appropriate distance on a consistent basis.
Is there a way to turn up the sound on the collar? It isn’t loud enough
Thank you for this question, Tammy. Our containment collars do not have any volume adjustment options. The tone used with most of our products is on a high pitched frequency that is really meant more for the dogs to hear than us. Many adults are unable to hear it at all which is normal. This is why we include the test light tool so that you can see a visual representation of where the collar begins to react so that you can set up your flags. It is perfectly normal for it to sound faint to human ears but do not worry, the pet will definitely be able to hear it.
Now, that being said, it is important to remember that the tone is not an uncomfortable sound for the dogs. You will not always see a strong reaction to the tone from them in the beginning. You must teach them what it means by following the training guide included in your original manual. Should you need any product assistance, feel free to give us a call at 1-800-732-2677.
If only this system was this easy. This thing is a nightmare to set up and the signal is very inconsistant.
I have this exact same system and it works great! Came back for a refresher course to train my new dog we just rescued
Nightmare?? It took me about 3 hours to put up a 700ft loop. Really simple.
This video lost its audio. I just tried other random videos with audio and they do have sound. I guess I'll use close caption.
We're so sorry you've experienced this issue! We have just tested this video on multiple browers and devices to confirm it is operating with sound. If you are not hearing sound for it, it may help to confirm if the video is muted, restart your browser window, or restart your device.
We have one of the pet safe underground fence installed. I trained our dog on it for about 2 and half weeks. I have a 90 pound Boxer. Right now the correction level is set to 3. Today I was inside the house, but a lady told me our dog went after her and her dog this morning, but then he eventually returned to the safe area without harming anyone. My question if my dog is around 90 pounds would you recommend going to correction level 4?
Thank you for this question! It is critical to mention that response to static correction is not related in any way to weight or breed; we do apologize for any misunderstanding. As each dog is an individual, their response to the static is wholly dependent on their personality. If your dog is disregarding the correction on 3 when there are distractions, we would recommend increasing the correction level to 4, and going back to the stage of training where you work with your dog while there are distractions on the other side of the boundary. We would recommend working on this training with your dog until he has fully mastered it and turns back toward you consistently even when there are enticing distractions outside of the boundary.
How young can the pet be to get started?
Thank you for this question, Jessica! We do recommend that your dog be at least 6 months old. Younger than this, most dogs do not have the cognitive development to understand the training process.
My dog does no care about the beep how do I find the shock.
Thank you for asking about this, Maura! Setting static levels does vary based on which model of collar you have, but this information can be found in your manual. If you have difficulty locating this information, please get in touch with our Customer Care team directly; we'll be more than happy to help!
It is important to mention, too, that it is normal for dogs to have no reaction to the beep initially. This is why these first training steps without the static are critical- through repeated positive reinforcement for turning around at the sound of the beep, they learn how to react when the beep occurs. Some dogs will learn this quite quickly, while others will take many training sessions. We would not recommend moving on to static until your dog has a solid understanding of how to react to the beep.
really helpful we started training right away and our dog batman is getting the idea but he doesnt get the white flags
Bro who names their dog Batman
@@franciscofranco5739 Robin
My dog "eats" the flags. Any alternative suggestions ?
Thank you for this question, Rebecca! As the flags are merely intended to serve as a visual reminder of the boundary in early training you can use a different kind of marker instead. Such as a stone, or a post.
People are so uninformed on these systems I literally shook myself with the collar every time just to show how harmless it is so your research before dogging the system
They did not do this with a puppy, and they don’t show dog running past it
My dog is terrified of the beeps.... She won't get even close to the boundary zone, until she's distracted and just runs through it. She lets out a yelp and keeps going. I wish I knew what I was doing wrong.
My dogs are the same. Wish someone would reply. Can barely get them to go outside
but they accidentally ran through it this morning

@@petsafebrandW for still replying on this old ass vid 🫡
My 40lb dog was very stubborn after having roamed our 1.5 acre yard for a long time without electric containment. During the training and off she would dart through the boundary, and then be afraid to come back into the yard knowing she would get zapped again. When this started, she placed immediately to her kennel for a time out. We purchased additional flags so that the boundary was more visible and then walked her around the yard on a leash several times a day and using treats. Finally, she got it in her head that this was her new boundary markers and learned the new layout of the yard without flags. I think initially we took the flags down to early and she was too tempted by things(cats and other dogs) on the other side.
I also feel that after you take the flanges down, you need to go into the yard with your pet to show them that the new area is safe to walk around in just not the edges.
Consistency was the key.
What do I do if my boy is deaf?
We can absolutely understand this concern, Carolyn! As the flags do serve as a visual barrier, many customers with deaf pets do use these to help teach their dog when the collar will activate. For some customers with deaf dogs, it may help to leave these flags up, rather than remove them at the end of the training process.
Can a big dog run through
lynnkays any dog can
You have to train them
Ive tried this for a few weeks but my dog keeps on getting shocked and going away
Lilly And Catherine be patient
What kind of dog ?
They should be trained with just the tone for the first four days. Consistently going out with them on the leash and giving them treats after they hear the tone and turn around (when they reach the flag and you hear the tone turn them back towards the house and praise them and give them a treat. ) 10 minutes a couple times a day. even after they associate the tone with the flag you have to be out there with them for the first two weeks. It's labor intensive but well worth it. If they do that consistently and start charging the fence, you might need to adjust the shock to a higher level. If you have a long haired breed (I have a collie) you need longer prongs on the collar to get through the hair. Good Luck!
I feel like my signal is hit or miss because my dog just froze being shocked the first time and acted all scared, and the past 2 times she just ran right out of the “pet zone” and never checked up.

What happens if I can’t hear the beep? Old ears
Thank you for reaching out with this question. If you are unable to hear the tone from the collar, when testing you can use the test light tool with the collar to see where the collar activates. If you have any further or more detailed questions please feel free to reach out to our customer care team at 1-800-732-2677 Mon. - Fri. 8am - 7pm ET
can we humans hear the beeps? we cannot tell!!! lol - she's not reacting at all yet but we are only on day 2
This is a great question, Rick! Since the beep is designed to be at a level that's best for our dogs to hear, this does mean it is quite high pitched and faint. This does unfortunately mean that many customers may not be able to hear this tone. We're so sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
For this reason, we do recommend setting your flags using the test light tool and the collar; this way you can be sure if your dog is at the flags, she is hearing the tone. It is normal for dogs not to respond to the tone at first as they have no association with it- rewarding her for turning back toward you when you know that she is hearing the tone will help to build that association over several training sessions.
Yes my dog ate all the flags !lol! My dog hates the noise help
We're sorry to hear you're having difficulty training your dog to your new system!

Am I the only one without sound or what
we have the petsafe Smart Dog Trainer collar for our dog (300-yard wireless leash) the link is here www.menards.com/main/pet-wildlife/dog-supplies/dog-training-behavior/petsafe-reg-300-yard-lite-remote-trainer/pdt00-16024/p-1528352993188-c-8311.htm.
We are looking into this underground fence just to keep her in the yard and away from our chickens (we live in a spot where a lot of people live and she wants hugs and kisses from everyone). she is already trained on the collar, makes the same noise. (our friend has one for her dog) we put our dog on it and the tone is enough for our dog to stay away. She was a hand full when we started, she is a year old redbone who likes to run. Hond dogs are runners and we are pleased with the wireless /leash/collar, the fence would be nice also so when we're in the yard she can be with us and me not having to fumble for the remote when gardening or tending to other things. it would look way better than a fence that will just rust out or rot out. These are such a great idea.
This video is so 2000s lol
Cane out in 2009
Good information, but I feel they shouldn’t use a dog that pulls on the leash for their demonstration. I think it negatively affects the image they want to portray and I found it distracting. It had me questioning her knowledge and authority on working with dogs because she couldn’t even teach her own dog to respect the leash.
🤣🤣🤣
