Q - When is my pet ready to start training? A - When your pet understands basic commands such as sit and stay; usually no earlier than an age of 16 weeks.

Q - Once a pet is trained to the system what is the best way to take him out of the boundary?
A - Create what is called an "invisible gate" and take the pet out only through this gate. Refer to the owner's manual.

A - On the leash. This way the owner can easily redirect the pet to the appropriate behavior.

Q - How long should the owner leave the flags up?
A - The flags should remain for at least 2 weeks, but in some cases as long as 30 days.
