Q - How old does a dog have to be before starting training on the PIF-300?
A - This is somewhat breed dependent, but most breeds should be at least 6 months of age.
Q - During PIF-300 training an owner observes their dog sitting in the correction zone. The owner
has touched the probes and has determined the collar is working. The owner can see the dog's skin flinch, so he is sure the dog is receiving the correction. What should the owner do to prevent this from happening?
A - Retrain the dog by putting it on a long leash. As soon as the dog is observed entering the corrective zone it should be pulled out and redirected to the "sit" and "stay" command.
Q - Once a dog is trained to the PIF-300 Wireless Fence what is the best way to take the dog out of the
boundary?
A - Create what is called an "invisible gate" and take the dog out only through this gate.
Q - Once a dog is trained to the PIF-300 Wireless Fence how does the owner create the "invisible gate" concept?
A - Place a long leash on the dog. Turn the system off. Remove the dog's collar. Put the dog on the "sit" and "stay" command near the area that will become the "gate". Owner walks out of yard and asks dog to "come".
Q - If a dog is running through the PIF-300 Wireless Fence at only one spot in the yard, how is this
corrected?
A - Set him up at this location. For example, have him on a long leash and then have someone else walk by that spot or walk their dog by that spot. When the dog attempts to leave - pull him back with the leash and then redirect him to the "sit" and "stay" commands.
Q - What is the dummy collar effect?
A - This is a procedure where the collar is eliminated as a factor in learning. In other words, the dog wears the collar without it being activated for 3-5 days. This way the dog does not learn that the collar causes the correction, but rather getting to close to the yard boundary.
Q - How long should an owner take to create the dummy collar effect?
A - On the average, it will take at least 3 days and as long as 7 days.
Q - How many days should the dog wear a deactivated collar before receiving the correction for the first
time?
A - At least three days and in some cases as long as 7 days.
Q - The first time the dog receives the correction should he be on or off a leash?
A - On the leash. This way the owner can easily redirect the dog to the appropriate behavior.
Q - What is the purpose of having the dog on a leash the first time he receives the correction?
A - So in the even the dog would become confused, the owner can easily direct him to the appropriate behavior.
Q - How long should the owner leave the flags up?
A - The flags should remain for at least 2 weeks, but in some cases as long as 30 days.
Q - What is meant by the "safe zone"?
A - The area where the dog can roam freely without getting a correction.
Q - Is using a PIF-300 Wireless Fence a humane way to train a dog?
A - Absolutely. While the correction is unpleasant, it is harmless to your pet. Electronic training devices require interaction and training from the owner to achieve desired results. Therefore Radio Systems Corporation provides comprehensive training manuals with each training product. These tools were
developed with veterinarians and animal behaviourists to ensure safety and peace of mind for you and your pet.
Q - How do I prevent one dog from chewing on the collar of another dog?
A - If you see one dog chewing on the other dog's collar - pull him off and redirect him to "sit" and "stay".
