Key Definitions Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Barrier Transmitter. Contact Points: Deliver the safe Progressive Static Correction when your pet enters the Barrier Area. Progressive Static Correction: Static correction begins at the lowest level and automatically increases to maximum within 3 seconds of first detection in the Barrier Area.

Training Guide The PetSafe Pawz Away Pet Barrier operates on the principle of positive and negative reinforcement. Your pet will learn to avoid the Barrier Areas you have set after receiving a Progressive Static Correction (negative reinforcement) and your pet will learn that he is more comfortable when he avoids the Barrier Areas (positive reinforcement). ® ® In some cases, it may not be necessary to train your pet. You can let your pet wander freely to determine the new boundaries.

Place a second non metallic collar on your pet ABOVE the Receiver Collar and attach a long leash. Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points of the Receiver Collar. 2.
