Training
When it comes to pet fencing, proper training is critical to ensuring fence system effectiveness and successful pet containment. We use a low-stress, shock-free method called GentleSteps™ – extremely pet-friendly and humane, pets learn faster and are much happier when they’re trained with GentleSteps™
Our Gentle Approach
In the past, the industry norm was to use painful shocks to scare your pet away from the fence boundaries – not very pet friendly. At Pet Stop of Central Georgia, we use the revolutionary GentleSteps™ training technique, a low-stress, modern method of pet fence training that uses extremely low levels of correction (mere tickles), positive reinforcement, and tasty treats to teach your pet their new boundaries – the end result is a happier, healthier pet who’s also safely and effectively contained. GentleSteps™ is so low-stress that we can even train shy and rescue dogs to the fence – you can rest assured that your pet is in the best of hands with the pet fence training professionals at Pet Stop of Central Georgia.
What Will It Feel Like For My Dog?
GentleSteps™ utilizes ultra-low levels of training collar stimulation during the critical initial training phase that leaves your dog happy and secure in the safety of your yard. Our receiver collars use barely perceptible levels of collar stimulation – just a tickle similar to a static discharge from touching a doorknob. This unique soft-touch training method allows Pet Stop® clients to focus on more positive experiences such as freedom in the yard to run and play.
How Long Will The Training Take?
Initial training lasts from 7 to 10 days, focusing on gentle handing and various correction techniques. After the initial training, it’s time to hand you the reigns! We’ll teach you everything you need to provide your pet with continued reinforcement training – with this reinforcement training, most pets are trained to the fence boundaries in just a couple of weeks, but some pets need more time. If your pet needs additional lessons or you need help, we’d be happy to assist you!
