Pet Stop® helps pet fence owners solve frustrating dog behavior problems with the industry’s first Universal Remote Trainer™.

Pet Stop has introduced the first remote training product that is fully compatible with most major pet fencing brands such as Invisible Fence® and Pet Safe®. Pet Fence owners can now keep their dog safe and solve problem behaviors quickly and easily using their existing pet fence collar.

MORGANTOWN, PA (March 9, 2010) – For more than 30 years, the electronic dog fence has provided safety and security to millions of pets and their owners. Now dog lovers can have confident control where ever they are and experience the same peace of mind their dog fence provides with the exclusive Pet Stop® - Universal Remote Trainer for their new or existing fencing system.

The small Universal handheld remote control transmits a brief attention getting pulse, pleasant vibration or audible warning tone to the dog’s existing fencing collar, discouraging frustrating problem behaviors such as jumping up on visitors, counter surfing or not coming when called. The tone only option is usually all it takes for fence trained dogs to immediately understand that some behaviors are off limits and the gentle vibration keeps tails wagging by reinforcing good behaviors when combined with favorite treats, toys or plenty of praise. The Universal Trainer is fully programmable and compatible with all major pet fencing brands.

“This is the first time pet owners can easily add a remote trainer to most any new or existing pet fencing system to help control problem behaviors,” said Blaine Bacher, Pet Stop Vice President of Sales. “Maybe just as important, more and more people are traveling and leading an active outdoor lifestyle with their dog. The Universal Trainer provides confident control when at the dog park or on vacation. It’s like a dog fence that you can put in your pocket” Bacher added.

The Universal Trainer can be purchased nationwide from any local authorized Pet Stop Dealer. For more information and to locate a Dealer, visit www.petstop.com.
 

Hot! Training Tip.
Teaching your dog “OFF” is quick, easy and fun for both you and your dog. OFF will help your dog understand that there are times when he can not touch,making it easier for you to correct problem behaviors such as jumping or getting on prized furniture. Hold a small treat between the tips of your fingers, where your dog can not grab the treat without touching you. The second your dog attempts to take the food,pull the treat back and say, “OFF”. Present the treat again in the same manner. Each attempt for the treat that results in touching your fingers causes you to pull the treat away and say, “OFF”. Wait until your dog will not attempt to grab the treat. Wait three seconds and then say “OK!” giving your dog the treat and a bunch of praise.
 
Repeat the exercise until your dog understands that you have to say “OK!” before he can have his prize. As he starts to understand that “OFF” means don’t touch - until you say it is “OK”, you can increase the amount of time before he earns his reward. Try this same exercise before you reward your pet with a favorite toy or food bowl before eating.
