Training Your Dog to Use the Boundary
Before you can use the Delta Inbounds wireless containment
system, you must train your dog to use the boundary.
When using the wireless containment system the first time, you
should complete these tasks to train your dog to be aware of the
boundary and the consequence if your dog crosses the
boundary. Proper training of your dog is essential to the success
of the wireless containment system.
1
Introduce your dog to the boundary (Introducing Your Dog to
the Boundary, page 4).
2
Reinforce boundary awareness using stimulation (Reinforcing
Boundary Awareness Using Stimulation, page 4).
3
Test boundary awareness using distraction (Testing
Boundary Awareness Using Distraction, page 4).
4
Supervise your dog's boundary awareness (Supervising Your
Dog's Boundary Awareness, page 5).

Introducing Your Dog to the Boundary
Before you introduce your dog to the boundary, you should turn
off stimulation on the dog collar device, and set up the boundary
(Setting up a Boundary, page 2).
This training phase trains your dog that the boundary flags and
warning beep from the dog collar device define the new safe
area.
TIP: You should have small treats and your dog's favorite play
toy available.
1
Attach the leash to a separate, non-metal collar positioned
above the dog collar device.
NOTE: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the
contact points.
2
Calmly walk your dog on a leash inside the containment area.
3
With full control of your dog on a leash, walk to the flags.
As your dog reaches the boundary, the dog device beeps.
4
Allow your dog to stay at the boundary for up to 2 seconds,
and then guide the dog back to the containment area.
You should immediately praise your dog as he enters the
containment area, even though you helped guide him with
the leash.
5
Repeat this process at the same flag until your dog resists
going to the boundary.
6
Plan to master three or four flags per session.
TIP: You should praise your dog if he quickly returns or
resists going to the boundary.
TIP: You should make a game out of training your dog to
come back into the containment area each time he hears the
tone from the dog device.
Reinforcing Boundary Awareness Using Stimulation
When your dog becomes familiar with the boundary and returns
to the containment area when he hears a tone, you are ready to
enable correction.
This training phase trains your dog to stay in the containment
area and respect the boundary.
TIP: You should have small treats and your dog's favorite play
toy available.
1
On the base unit, set the stimulation level of the dog collar
device to the lowest setting, or enable vibration (Setting the
Intensity Level Using the Base Unit, page 3).
2
Repeat the procedure to introduce your dog to the boundary
(Introducing Your Dog to the Boundary, page 4).
NOTE: When your dog is in the boundary area and hears a
tone, he will also feel a mild stimulation or vibration. You
should watch for a slight reaction to the stimulation such as
looking around, raising his ears, turning his head, or
otherwise indicating he is feeling something different than
normal.
3
If your dog does not respond to stimulation when he reaches
the boundary, confirm that the dog collar device fits properly.
4
If the dog collar device fits properly and your dog does not
respond to the stimulation, increase the stimulation level by
one.
NOTE: Vibration is a fixed level and cannot be adjusted.
5
Stay at the same flag until your dog resists going to the
boundary.
Using tone and correction, your dog should avoid the boundary
and stay in the containment area. When your dog returns to the
containment area, you should praise him.
Testing Boundary Awareness Using Distraction
When your dog understands the boundary and returns to the
containment area when he hears a tone or receives a correction,
you are ready to enhance the training by introducing
distractions.
This training phase trains your dog to stay within the
containment area even when tempted by distractions outside of
the boundary.
TIP: You should have small treats and your dog's favorite play
toy available.
1
Attach the leash to a separate, non-metal collar positioned
above the dog collar device.
NOTE: Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the
contact points.
2
On the base unit, set the stimulation level of the dog collar
device to a higher setting, depending on the reaction result
from Reinforcing Boundary Awareness Using Stimulation,
page 4, or enable vibration.
3
Walk your dog to the boundary and return to the containment
area to confirm he has a clear understanding of the tone at
the boundary.
