GentleSteps™ Training

GentleSteps™ Training is Pet Stop® Exclusive, Revolutionary, Humane, Safe & Simple. GentleSteps™is a modern & incremental conditioning method that reduces commonly encountered stress issues in traditional containment training procedures.

We understand that each dog is unique and has a different temperament. So, we begin by using very low levels of collar stimulation. Just a tickle, during the critical training phase.

Not only do pets learn boundaries faster with GentleSteps™, but training is also fun – whether your pet is sensitive & compliant, or needs more incentive to stay in the yard.

The end result is a happier, healthier, safely contained pet that’s free to roam your property.

How GentleSteps™ Training Works

The days of painfully shocking your pet to teach them their new fence boundaries are in the past! GentleSteps™ training is extremely pet-friendly & humane - using low levels of gradually-increasing correction to gently teach your pet their new fence, with little-to-no-stress, and certainly no painful zaps.

This method was designed to work seamlessly with our products - allowing You or us to train your pet to the fence faster & more efficiently. The use of positive-reinforcement & treats during training can even make GentleSteps™ training fun for both the pet & the owner!

What Should I Expect?

After we professionally install your boundary wire mark it with flags, one of our trained technicians adjust the collar and set it to the lowest level of stimulation resembling a “tickle”. He will lead your pet on leash into the boundary and then back to safety several times at different locations.

Rather than attempt to contain your dog with painful zaps, we use a unique gentle approach that has produced outstanding results. Our training method is so effective that owners need to spend only 5-10 minutes, three times a day, during the five-day training phase, to teach pets their new boundaries. Dogs love the training because it is painless, fun, upbeat, and comes with lots of tasty treats!

Options Available

This is our most budget-friendly training option available. Your participation is required.

One of our technicians will do several boundary encounters with your pet and teach you by demonstration how to do the same repetition of introducing your pet to the boundary until you are comfortable with the process.

This repetition while gradually increasing the correction level each session is how your dog will become familiar with and learns to respect and avoid the new boundary.

They teach you how to adjust the correction level of the receiver and answer any questions you may have before leaving.

Phone support for additional training is always available free of charge. But, if you need further onsite assistance, you can upgrade to our Second Day & Unlimited Onsite Follow-Up Training.

***Always remove the fence collar from your dog's neck at night while they sleep. Failure to do this will result in sores developing where the probes make contact with your dog's neck if the fence collar is left in place for longer than 5-7 days.
