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.

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 and mark it with flags, one of our trained technicians will 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.

We use a unique gentle approach that has produced outstanding results. Our training method is so effective that owners need to spend only 10-15 minutes, three times a day, during the training period to teach pets their new boundaries. Dogs love the training because it is painless, fun, upbeat, and comes with lots of tasty treats!

GentleSteps™ Training

Options Available

This is our most popular training package available but keep in mind that your participation is required.

The process begins with our highly experienced staff technician trainer doing several boundary encounters with your pet. The purpose of this is to teach you by demonstration how to achieve the best results and point out what you should be looking for as your dog experiences and reacts to the corrective stimulus at the lowest level for the first several times.

After several demonstrations, our trainer will then hand you the leash and observe you doing the same repetition of introducing your dog to the boundary until you are comfortable and understand the process.

The trainer will then teach you how to increase the correction level of the receiver as you progress through each successive GentleSteps training session with your dog over the next several days, and then answer any questions you may have.

If any complications arise as you continue the training & orientation process with your dog, we provide unlimited free phone, text, and email support with the fastest response times in the industry to answer your questions and help resolve problems quickly & easily.

In the event that these phone, text, or email solutions are not adequate, we guarantee to return onsite to help you free of charge as many times as necessary to ensure that your dog is successfully trained & contained with the system. Once again we remind you that your participation is required for these follow up sessions.

This is called our “Training Insurance Package” for the unexpected. There is no time limit or expiration on this service benefit for the dog it was purchased for. In other words, if your 3 month old puppy does great during their training and is contained, then gets older and possibly develops some new behaviors and begins to challenge the boundary, you can rely on us to return onsite if necessary and assist you with resolving the problem.

There is no other company that we are aware of that provides this type of training guarantee at no additional future cost.

In the event that circumstances in your life prevent you from participating in the training process we totally understand and that is why we also offer a complete training package, for an additional cost, that requires no involvement on your part. Please let us know at any time if this becomes a need and we will be happy to provide this additional service.

***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.
