Invisible barriers- dog training

Tutorial coming soon… Using clicker training, and without using positive punishment, you can teach dogs reliable complex behaviors like teaching a default “don’t take a step off the grassy area unless released”. Splash is demoing how she generalizes don’t step off the grass in two locations where I have never trained her to do it. I only trained her in front of my house, and another location, but as you can see she generalized it to the canyon area near the park because it doesnt have ‘grass’ (or at least that is what I think). The day that I film this I actually WANTED her to go and get the frisbee for me when I did a crappy throw, but she would not leave the grass, and I had to go and walk my lazy self down there in the bushes to get the frisbee. I was very impressed with her generalization skills so I picked up the camera and filmed a “fake” bad throw. However, with most dogs you would have to go to a few locations to train, before they would generalize it to all locations.

How to find and repair a break in a Underground Invisible Dog Fence

You can find a break in a underground dog or pet fence by turning the raido field on the transmitter up all the way.(take receiver off pets first)and remember where the dial is set so you can set it back to the same setting when you are done.After setting the field up all the way use a am walkman and set the am dial as low as it can go.The easy place to start is the driveway because in most cases you can see where the wire crossing is.Next hold the walkman near the wire and you should hear a feedback.Next follow the feedback till it fades to nothing and you should be near the break just dig up the wire and tug it should come loose.Next pull out the slack and stretch it out to find the distance of the other side.Splice the two together and seal water tight and thats it.(this may not work with all systems but most of them should not be a problem)Should this not work follow these directions1. Go to Radio Shack and by RF choke catalog #273-1022. Disconnect the 2 twisted wires from the transmitter and and wrap them around the choke one on each side.3. Connect the choke with the wires attached into the transmitter (same as where the twist was removed)4. Plug transmitter in.5.Follow directions above.When useing the RF choke you may need to adjust the signal field lower for small yards and up for larger yards.Also try adjusting the am radio between am530 and am600. Good luck
