Installing the Radial-Shape Wireless Dog Fence

Fitting a Collar

If you do not remove the Collar from

your dog’s neck at least every 12 hours

AND clean your dog’s neck and the

Collar, Pressure Necrosis may occur

which is a deterioration of your dog’s

skin. It is caused by extended contact to

the pressure of the Probes of the Collar

combined with the oil and dirt that may

accumulate on the Probes if not

kept clean.

WARNING

Training Your Dog

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

Please read the following information completely before you

begin training:

• Proper training of your dog is essential to help ensure the

successful operation of your Radial-Shape Wireless Dog Fence.

• We recommend that you train your dog for a minimum of 15

consecutive days. Use a calendar to track your dog’s progress.

• Keep your training sessions short and frequent -- approximately 10-15 minutes long, 2-3 times a day.

• Every dog is unique and may respond differently to the training depending on its age, size,

temperament and ability to learn. For this reason, you may need to adjust your training schedule accordingly.

• It may be necessary to decrease the speed of the training schedule or add more training days if your dog seems

to be under stress. Signs that your dog may be under stress include: tail between legs, ears pulled back,

refusal to go outside the home and nervous shaking.

• Before beginning Collar-assisted training, allow your dog to get used to wearing the Havahart

Collar with

the battery removed.

• Have fun with your dog during the training process and end each session with positive praise and play

time in the Roaming Area at least 10 feet away from the Training Flags.

• Be patient and consistent in your approach.

• Remove the Havahart

Collar after each training session.

• If you need to take your dog out of the Roaming Area during training, remove the Havahart

Collar and

use one of the following methods:

1. Walk your dog outside of the Roaming Area while on a leash. Cross the same area of the Trigger Zone

flag line each time, giving a command such as “CROSS”, and praising your dog for crossing this specific area.

Always leave this area with your dog on a leash.

2. Carry your dog out.

3. Take your dog out in a car.

• If you are training more than one dog, train each dog separately.

• Should your dog breach the Trigger Zone while wearing the Havahart

Collar, unlike an underground wire fence,

your dog will not receive a separate correction for returning through the Trigger Zone back into the Roaming Area.

• It is important that you complete the entire training process and do not skip any phases.

The Radial-Shape Wireless Dog Fence

from Havahart

is not a physical boundary.

It is necessary to contain your dog using a

leash or other means during training.
