There are a lot of products and methods for this. You can invest a large amount of money into an electric fence or other related products.

I like to use a basic Ecollar and some stern verbal reinforcement. The key to any ecollar training is to first make sure Floppy knows what command you are giving them. The command I would use to teach yard boundries would be’”No, here.” This would establish with Floppy that he/she is not allowed in that area. I would work on this for a week or so. Facilitate Floppy into being corrected. By this I mean put Floppy in a position to be corrected. Simply walk Floppy to the area. Once the Floppy gets near the boundry correct him/her with the command.

Once the Ole Floppy Ears has figured out that there are boundries incorporate the ecollar. This is also the point where you need to have Floppy properly conditioned to the ecollar. If you decide to use this method get a good book that will teach this. Tritroncis Retriever Training is the book suggested by us! We always have several copies and will ship to your house.
