2.4. Training animals
Before you start the learning process:
• Learning must take place in a location with satisfactory mobile and GPS coverage. If you have any
doubts, you should conduct a test by walking around with a collar in your hand.
• The animals must have a sense of security in the area where the learning takes place. Let them
spend time getting acquainted with the area the before the training starts.
• Stay with the animals as the training commences. Observe their reactions.
• All adult animals must wear a collar to safeguard animal welfare. In herds where some animals
wear collars and others not, the animals wearing collars will ignore both audio warnings and
electric pulses in order to follow the herd.
• The training pastures should be small enough for the animals to encounter the Nofence boundary
during the training, but large enough for the animals to run about.
• Training pastures that are too big will result in few encounters with the audio warning and the
training will take longer.
• We recommend creating the training pasture somewhere you can monitor the animals’ progress.
By observing the animals during the training period, you learn how they respond to the system.
For your animals’ sake it is essential that the learning process is well-organised and
thought-through. When the animal caretaker has prepared well for the training, the
animals have a more efficient learning process, with as few electric pulses as possible.
Spend time observing your animals as they undergo the training.
