While it’s possible to add a collar and adjust the flags on your own, it’s recommended to seek professional assistance to prevent any issues or mistakes.
They’ll guide your pet through the training process, teaching them the boundaries of the system and how to respond to the warning signals. This will help your new pet understand and respect the invisible fence, ensuring their safety and preventing any escape attempts.
After the training session, you can attach the new Computer Collar unit to your pets collar. Make sure it fits securely and comfortably. The collar should be tight enough to prevent slipping off, but not too tight that it restricts your pets movement or causes discomfort.
