Excellent video. Thank you so much. I feel much better about this as I didn't get a training packet or thorough instructions on how to do this. My guy just came placed flags, walked my dog around the yard, gave me a quick instruction and left.
Really liked the explanation about how to take your dog out of the system for a walk. Unfortunately I installed my fence without much driveway space to spare. Would've done it differently with your explanation
I’m glad the video was helpful. The good news is that underground dog fencing can be altered. Simply splice into the underground cable where needed and the run it how you would like. Then splice it back in. Just need to reflag the new boundaries and re-train your dog to the new layout. Hope that is helpful to you.
Great video. We have ordered your system for our two 10 month old puppies - one of them is deaf. How do we adjust the system or training to train without the audible warning he can’t hear? Can we ensure the collar sensation is applied for him earlier instead?
Thank you! If your dog is hearing impaired. You’ll need to start the training by setting the collar to level 1 for the first step of the training process. This will keep the sensation very mild to where your dog will notice the sensation but won’t be startled by it. This way they can focus on learning to retreat. Then you’ll slowing increase the levels during the second step of the training.
The way our house, yard, lack of a garage, and electrical is set up, the whole property will have the fence around it. Using a gator or other vehicle is not an option unfortunately. I would have to pick up my 90 lb Lab or take the collar off each time we walk through the main gate to come and go and possibly cause him undue stress. Any other suggestions? Thank you!

I always recommend an in-ground wired fence system because of the reliability.

I have a reactive, territorial dog that is on a tie out as we don’t have a fence. My vet advised me against this type of fence, even though he is excellent on an ecollar, which is the same stimulus. What do you think?
With invisible fence training some dogs who are known to be aggressive and or territorial can become more territorial after they learn their new boundaries. I would err on the side of your vets recommendation. But ultimately you know your dog best and will have to make that call yourself.

@@mkojalo The simple answer is yes. You are training your dog not to leave the perimeter. So they will not want to walk through the perimeter. Anytime you want your dog to leave the perimeter, you will remove the collar and then get them up off the ground. You can simply carry them across the boundary, or drive them out of the boundary. When you return simply carry them back into the perimeter and reapply the collar. This way your dog will understand that they cannot leave the perimeter unless you carry them out.
I'd like to take the collar off to play fetch in the grassy field behind my house. Can the dog not be trained to only stay in the yard with the collar on?
This is a common question. I never suggest walking your dog across the fence line after they have been trained not to. Your dog will become confused. If you remove the collar and attempt to walk the dog across, the first few times they will act stressed out and confused while you drag them through the fence. After a while they will get used to you walking them through. But this will lead to breakouts of the fence when you don’t want them to cross the boundary. Dogs are very “black and white” they do not understand the “gray area” that we do. Once they learn their boundaries they will always heed to them. But once we start to deviate what we taught them, this is where containment issues will begin. So, how do you get your dog out of the fenced area? Here is the best way. You can use a gator, UTV or any vehicle and drive them out of the fence. This is the easiest way to get your dog out of the fence area without causing them confusion. You’ll ALWAYS take the collar off, before doing so. Otherwise the collar can activate inside the vehicle. You will then do the same when you come back into the fence. Then reapply the collar and your dog will remain in the yard. Your dog will then associate the vehicle with the way out. So when you say “go for a walk” or other command, your dog will run to the vehicle. As long as your dog doesn’t figure out how to start and drive the vehicle, they should remain contained.
I’ve been struggling with impulse control and the collar. This is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!
My pleasure! I’m always happy to help out!
Excellent video! I have worked with Adam and his knowledge and having him as a resource has been an incredible asset!
Thanks for that!

I thought that was a real dog for the first few seconds of the video. It took me a minute to realize something was wrong with his dog. Lol
😂 It’s the most realistic looking stuffed dog I’ve found! To this day he still startles my wife now and then when she walks into my office.

How did you train that dog on your right to stay put like that?
I can’t take all the credit. Milo is a very well behaved dog! 😆
