When a dog barks at the mailman, runs after a jogger, jumps on a visitor, or digs a hole in the backyard, he is simply "acting like a dog". Unfortunately, these normal behaviors can sometimes become excessive or occur at the wrong time. In many cases, these "problem" behaviors may even result in damage to your property, accidental injury to others, or even result in harm to your dog. Therefore, included with each PetSafe training system is a comprehensive training manual to guide you through the training process. Each training system is created to help dog owners deter unwanted behaviors from a distance. It can be used to control any misbehavior that you see your dog exhibiting. It can also be used to teach your dog proper obedience responses when he is off the leash.

The Scat Mat is a valuable aid in training your pets to avoid areas you want to protect. Simply place the Scat Mat in a location you would like your pets to avoid. When he touches the Scat Mat, he receives a mild static shock and will quickly learn to stay away from that area. If your dog or cat has a habit of rolling, scratching and shedding on your rug, Scat Mat will encourage him to move elsewhere. If the cat likes to stand at your bird cage and frighten the birds, Scat Mat will end that annoyance.

If a dog is running through the system at only one spot in the yard, how is this corrected? 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. Can an owner use the Radio pet to train other dogs from coming into the owner''s yard? Only if the other dogs are wearing a receiver collar. What is the dummy collar effect? 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. How long should an owner take to create the dummy collar effect? On the average, it will take at least 3 days and as long as 7 days.
