Review Details

The day of our installation it was raining so the installers rushed throught the training. The next day when I took my dog out he got zapped and then was so scared to go out into the yard. I think they had turned it up too high for a small 20 lb dog.

The guy that installed it should have told you that the dog shouldn't have
gotten corrected until day 4 of training & the trainer should have come out for that! Did he/she give you any training instructions? If so, did you read them? The training is very easy, however most people are too lazy to follow the simple training instruction, so they can train the dog they claim they love so much properly! This may not be the case with you, it may be the Techs fault. He/she should have given you written instructions & scheduled a trainer to come out & give your dog her first correction.
Yes this was the problem - it was raining the day of the installation and they installed anyway, then they took the dog out and quickly tried to train her. She was not interested especially with the rain and all. Then they left and told us virtually nothing. My husband had an electric fence before so he thought he would be able to train her but then the Zap and that was it.
