Your dog's training journey begins with the crucial introduction to 'Corrections.' 

Our focus on this page is the initial phase, where we acquaint your dogs with the radio signal for the first time. In these videos, we emphasize starting the training at the lowest level to provide a gentle 'correction' and help the dog understand that there is something at the gateway that is not pleasant when he cross on it.

In this training, our objective is to guide the dog toward independently deciding to avoid the radio signal. A combination of time, verbal cues, visual reminders such as flags, audible tones, and mild 'stim/corrections' from the collar contributes to optimal results, making long-term success more attainable.

If you're anticipating dramatic reactions like massive zaps, double backflips, or terrified runs from the fence, I must apologize. 

Our approach prioritizes a gradual and positive introduction, moving away from punitive approaches. Your understanding is appreciated, especially considering the concerns you may have faced with your dog escaping. Let's embark on this training journey together.

                              

Disclaimer: 

In these Case Studies, our dog 'clients' are introduced to the 'Correction' from the Pet Fence Dog Collar for the first time, with their owners' permission to share these videos.

Our goal is to showcase the ease of introducing dogs to the radio signal using the right equipment and approach, providing reassurance for those considering a Dog Fence purchase.

While the 'Correction' may seem challenging, it's essential for dogs to grasp its significance. Every dog is unique, and these videos serve as samples. Your feedback on training techniques is welcomed, as our aim is to guide dogs through the 'Corrections' while offering insights. That's a Lot  of Work.

These videos aren't exhaustive training guides; they're brief glimpses of dogs encountering the Dog Fence Collar correction for the first time.

Case Study #1: Yellow, the Sheep Chaser

Meet Yellow, a remarkably calm and pleasant young lady. During the initial introduction, she showed minimal reaction to the collar, happily following as she was led around. However, as we identified the correct level, Yellow began forming her own decisions about passing through the open gate. Stay tuned to witness Yellow's journey and how she navigates her experience with the Dog Fence Collar.

As mentioned in many of these videos we face a challenge, the dog wants to go through the gate for a walk and they also want to be obedient and do what we are asking by following us in to the signal. Yellow actually shows quite a bit of conflict in getting to the point where we get our refusal. 

 

 

Case Study #2 - Maggie: The Rescue Dog and Overcoming Porch Sitting Syndrome

Welcome to Maggie's new furever home, where the sounds of passing cars pose a potential risk. In these early stages of her residency, it's fantastic that Maggie is being introduced to the radio signal. 

The Pet Barrier not only aids in this introduction but also helps adjust to her  to her new environment, fostering a sense of home.

For rescue dogs like Maggie, realizing they have a forever home can take time, especially if they've experienced multiple relocations. Escaping often becomes their initial response to new environments. Witness the remarkable results we've achieved in settling new dogs like Maggie using the Pet Barrier.

We witness rapid progress with Maggie, displaying the expected responses in the right sequence. It's important to note that my role as a stranger, recently

acquainted with the dog, may yield slightly different results compared to when you, the master, conduct the training. Dogs inherently want to obey, be good, and enjoy walks, so there might be a bit more confusion for the dog during your training sessions. This incremental training approach proves effective in preventing porch sitting syndrome. 

Remember the 80/20 rule: 80% of the training focuses on guiding the dog within the property, and they quickly grasp the remaining 20%, understanding the boundaries of the radio signal.

Case Study Study #3 - Helix, The Good Boy

This is Helix, we started with the lowest collar setting, and he was super excited about our walk. But as we went on with the dog fence training, he felt the correction. 

Dog Fence Training Helix Video: https://youtu.be/y6ekgEaQL4k

Being a good, obedient dog, he understood he shouldn't keep going. Even with some distractions, he smartly chose to head back on his own when he felt a bit uneasy near the radio dog fence. In the end, he was a great, well-behaved boy and had a good outcome.

Case Study #4: Roxy. The Fence Jumper

Meet Roxy, the sweet and friendly pup with a bit of a fence-jumping flair, much to her mommy's concern in their new property. Roxy's been cooped up in a cage for quite a while, but with the Pet Fence in action and her training on the horizon, it seems like her days in confinement might be over. Let's see how this gentle soul tackles the training and bids farewell to her cage days! 

Dog Fence Training Roxy Video: https://youtu.be/KolxXMQtHqg

At the start, she wasn't reacting much – pretty typical when she's all hyped up for a walk. But after a slight collar tweak, guess what? 

We got a swift "no thanks" from her in a flash.

Case Study 1 - Yellow and the Pet Fence Next Door: Will my neighbor's Invisible Dog Fence interfere with mine?

Even if the Pet Fences are the same brand and model, they can cause issues. The signal distance may vanish from the adjoining fenced area, leaving a blank fence line that your dog might exploit.

But fear not! With our Pet Barrier Dog Fences and their Coded FM Frequency, we prevent signals from clashing and causing interference. As more people discover the effectiveness of Electric Dog Fences, having a neighboring property with a radio signal can become a concern, both now and in the future. 

What if your neighbor gets a Dog Fence two years from now? Will yours fail due to conflicting frequencies?

Not to worry – our Pet Fence system boasts two features that address and prevent signal conflicts.

Coded Digital FM Frequency - Less Conflict with FM:

We've chosen a Coded Digital FM Frequency for our Pet Fences. So far, when there's a dog fence next door, we haven't encountered any issues. 

However, it's good neighborly practice to check your neighbor's fence signal – not all fences are as forgiving. You wouldn't want your neighbor's dog escaping because their radio signal failed due to non-FM compatibility. 

• - Radio signals for Pet Fences are either AM or FM... (no exceptions)
• - AM Radio signals tend not to like other Radio Signals (Not only from other Pet Fences)
• - There are usually 2 frequencies to choose from 4Khz OR 8 Khz.
• - Not Many Pet Fences can change frequencies to cure signal interference problems.

Ever wondered about your neighbor's Electronic Pet Fence Signal causing interference? 

If it's AM, the radio signal might weaken, letting your dog get too close to the fence. Lucky for you, our FM frequency plays well with others and won't cause interference when cozying up to neighboring Pet Fences.

Need a quick fix? Just adjust the wire to avoid clashes and let your neighbor's fence system work smoothly. It's that simple!

Switching from 8kHz to 4kHz frequency?  Yes, we've got you covered.

Radio signal interference is a red flag, bringing potential danger. It can lead to false activations on your dog's receiver collar or, worse, no activation at all.

Jumping, where the signal leaps from the wire to a shed or metal surface, causes the boundary to shift and morph, resulting in inconsistent containment and training. 

Let's talk AM vs FM Radio Frequencies. 

Most Pet Fences use AM, but ours rock the FM frequency, digitally coded for these situations. Interference culprits include CB Radios, Mobile Phones, and other stray radio signals in the vicinity. What's at stake? 

A failed boundary due to a jumped signal means your dog could escape and end up in harm's way. Inconsistent training caused by stray or misplaced signals renders your boundary useless. And the worst-case scenario? Porch Sitting Syndrome, where your dog can't distinguish safe areas from risky ones.

Case Study 2 - Maggie Porch Sitting Syndrome

Welcome to Case Study 2 - Porch Sitting Syndrome with our charming new addition, Maggie! Today, we'll explore what Porch Sitting Syndrome is, how to steer clear of it, and ways to address it positively.

A significant concern arises due to less-than-ideal fencing, coupled with a busy road at the end of the driveway – a double risk for Maggie and passing cars. If accidents happen, guess who's footing the bill?

Contributing Causes:

1. Fluctuating radio signals from a non-regulated power adaptor
2. Pet Fence Collars lacking low-level settings
3. Signal bounce, jump, or coupling (often linked to point 1)
4. Poor-quality radio frequencies and transmitters
5. Rushing through the training process
6. Owners allowing porch sitting

The BIG Dangers of Porch Sitting:

1. Your dog disregards the Pet Fence Boundary and dashes across the signal.
   
2. Dogs confined to the porch become anxious or bored.

We want our dogs to enjoy the entire property freely. If they're not, they might be experiencing a touch of porch sitting syndrome. But fear not! It's easier to avoid than it sounds with the right equipment, training, and knowledge.

Porch Sitting Syndrome: When a Dog Is Hesitant to Leave the Porch

Despite the alarming name, it's not as scary as it seems. During training, your dog might show signs of reluctance to venture out – a clear sign of Porch Sitting Syndrome. It's all about understanding what your dog needs to feel confident and comfortable outside. Your choice of training methods and the type of collar for your Electronic Pet Fence play a significant role in minimizing porch sitting syndrome.

Remember, a positive approach and the right tools make all the difference in helping your furry friend feel secure and happy exploring the whole property! 

Here's a few points to consider to help minimize Porch Sitting:

1. Receiver Collar Quality - Look for adjustable levels, consistency, and comfort.
2. Introduction to Radio Signal - Take your time introducing your dog to the signal around the property.
3. Training Session Factors - Consider the number and frequency of the training session, and your dog's response during training.
4. Visual Clues - Utilize flags, fences, and gates as visual aids.

Avoiding Porch Sitting Syndrome Made Simple:

Being aware is key – 80% of the solution comes from understanding. When starting training, consider things from your dog's perspective. They can't predict what's happening, so let's make it a positive experience.

Take it slow, letting your dog guide the training. If they need more time or signal they've had enough, respect that. In our training videos, we use low levels in the Pet Fence Collar for recognition without overwhelming the dog. Controlled ventures into the signal, stopping after refusal – that's the approach.

The 80/20 Rule & Training Tips:

• Spend 80% of your time in the "Safety Area."
• Cruise your dog around the property calmly.
• Let your dog figure out the remaining 20% on its own.
• If your dog resists training, take a break with coffee, a chair, and some one-on-one time in a safe area.
• Train your dog to explore and play where it's safe.

The Remedy for Porch Sitting Syndrome – Cuddle Time:

Expand your dog's comfort zone slowly. Give it time to learn the correction zones and safe play areas. If needed, carry or guide your dog to different corners of the property for play and cuddle time.

A Glimpse into Maggie's Pet Fence Training:

Meet Maggie, a rescued Staffordshire terrier cross, blending seamlessly into her new home. Intrigued by the chickens, we extended the radio signal to the chook pen, and Maggie aced the fence training. To encourage her away from the driveway, we adjusted the wire.

Twisting The Wires Adds  a New Dimension To Your Pet Fence

Here's a game-changer – if you connect two wires going north and south, you neutralize the radio signal. 

Introducing a TWISTED PAIR OF WIRE between your fence and barrier opens up a new dimension. 

Ensure a well-regulated power supply and transmitter to prevent signal jumps or fluctuations that might spook your dog, potentially causing Porch Sitting Syndrome.

Congratulations! 

Understanding this concept puts you in the top 3.5% of people globally who truly understand Invisible Radio Pet Fences.

Twisting the wires is all about adjusting the radio signal to create safe areas for your dogs or cats to roam. 

However, there are rules to follow.

The BIG Exception:

No, you can't simply run a single wire down the fence, double it back, and let your dog cross over (not that you'd want to). Watch the video to discover why.

How to Install Dog Fence Wire - How to Twist Dog Fence Wire?

Things You Can Do Once You Understand Twisted Pairs

1. Grant your dog the freedom to stroll between the Shed (housing the transmitter) and the fence.
2. Safeguard individual gateways by keeping your dog at a distance.
3. Permit your dog to approach specific fences while steering clear of others.
4. Designate internal areas, such as garden beds and washing lines, as zones free from canine exploration.
5. Provide your dog with ample space to navigate along the side of the house without anxiety.
6. Enable your dog to traverse a path or steps between two safeguarded garden beds.

How can I Isolate my Garden Beds?

Ensuring the safety of your dog is undoubtedly a top priority, which is why opting for an Electronic Dog Fence is a wise choice. However, it's equally essential to safeguard our garden beds, fish pond, and vegetable patches from any disruptions by implementing a protective barrier.

When isolating garden beds, two key considerations come to mind:

1. Consistent Power Supply Source
   - Opting for a regulated power supply is crucial. Unlike an unregulated counterpart, it ensures that voltage input or load current changes do not lead to significant alterations. With a regulated power supply, the radio signal remains stable, even amid fluctuations in current
   
   
2.  Reliable FM Transmitter
   -  A dependable FM transmitter eliminates concerns about signals unpredictably jumping between areas, safeguarding your dog from unintended corrections, especially within designated safe zones. This helps prevent unnecessary scares that may affect your dog's confidence.

How to Twist the Electric Dog Fence Wires?

A practical method for twisting wires involves placing them inside a drill and giving them a gentle twist. Once twisted adequately, you can drop them into the trench you've prepared, ensuring they touch each other. Cover the wires with some dirt, and voilà – your dog can confidently walk over these twisted wires without any impact.

This information proves invaluable when crafting your dog fence layout. Surprisingly, many individuals with a pet fence still face issues like their dog wreaking havoc on the laundry. (While the dog isn't jumping the fence, replacing your torn jeans every month becomes a recurring expense.) A little knowledge goes a long way, enhancing the value of your Pet Fence Project. 

Understanding the Science: Why a Twisted Pair Halts the Signal and Instances When It Doesn't?

It's crucial to note that merely twisting a single wire back on itself will never, ever stop the signal. However, a practical application involves running a wire from the fence to a garden bed, circling around it, and then running it back along the initial wire to the starting point. In this configuration, your dog can comfortably traverse the two touching wires without entering the garden bed.

Why? Just think "North" and "South"

       

The Transmitter is like a Radio and the Wire is the Aerial.

Imagine the transmitter as a 2-way radio where the signal travels up the aerial (the wire) and extends outward. However, a strategic twist emerges when we reroute the wire (the aerial) back into the transmitter after its journey around the property. This maneuver allows the transmitter to actively block the signal, compelling it to expand exclusively out of the wire. Consequently, adjusting the Range Control (or volume) amplifies this effect, increasing the pressure to propel the signal farther away from the wire. 

When The Signal Travels North Then South - It Restricts The Distance.

Now that you understand how the radio signal is created, let's introduce a fascinating tidbit: when the signal runs up to a garden bed and then retraces its path, with the two wires touching, it neutralizes the radio signal.

This intriguing fact explains why your dog can move between the shed and the fence. 

The radio signal travels northward to reach the boundary, runs around the property in one direction, and then reverses course, traveling southward back to the shed, completing the loop from where it originated. 

Challenges in Manipulating the Pet Fence Radio Signal

1. A Non-regulated Power Adaptor: Flunctuations in the radio signal may hinder precise control between different sections.

2. Signal Bounce, Signal Jump, and Signal Coupling: These issues often are caused by a non-regulated power adaptor, can impede signal manipulations.

3. Poor Quality Radio Frequencies and Transmitters: Choosing superior components ensures the effectiveness of the signal.

4. Video Insights for Signal Control: Explore valuable insights from the videos on this page to help you understand signal manipulation techniques.

Additionally, explore the concept of the Double Loop, a technique were you can  cancel out the signal effectively. 

The Double Loop - Allows You To Helps Cancel Out The signal

The double loop strategy provides a versatile approach to tailor the radio signal to specific areas. For instance, when safeguarding the rear of your property, run a wire along the top of the fence to the opposite side and return it to the transmitter along the bottom of the fence.

For garden bed protection, navigate the wire along the rear of the garden, along the fence, and then return it along the center of the garden bed.

When the radio signal is unnecessary, simply touch the wires together, creating a North/South effect that neutralizes the signal. This allows your dog access to that particular area.

Consider a scenario where the radio signal is unnecessary along your secure back fence, such as a 10-foot tall brick wall. As you run the pet fence wire back to the transmitter, connecting them along the wall effectively neutralizes the signal, granting your dog access without compromising safety. 

Case Study #4 Roxy - The Fence Jumper: How Does Training Flags Help Your Electric Dog Fence Training?

 

For those without a clear physical boundary on their property, dogs may struggle to identify their territory. Training flags serve as visual cueROs or markers, signaling to your dog that a particular area is off-limits. Discover how training flags play a crucial role in Electronic Dog Fence training shortly. 🐾🚩🏡

Strategic Placement of Training Flags

Avoid excessive use of flags; their effectiveness lies in targeted placement where physical barriers are absent, such as:

• Driveways
• Open land or fields
• Garden beds or fish ponds
• Potted plants

Electric Dog Fence - Effectiveness of Training Flags

Training Flag is a Crucial Alert System

Having an FM transmitter eliminates concerns about signals jumping between areas, ensuring your dog stays safe within designated zones. This prevents your dog from receiving unexpected corrections in secure zones, promoting a positive and stress-free training experience. 

Flags could be kept after training

You don't need to leave the flags out long. you can leave the flags out for 6 to 8 weeks after training. This duration helps imprint a clear understanding for your dog—associating specific areas with safety and others with the presence of an Electronic Dog Fence. Discover how this short-term use ensures a lasting impression on your dog's boundaries.
