We recently had a customer who had trained their dog on an electric dog fence system but had for various reasons stopped using it so their dog had unlearned the boundaries and now roamed freely. To reintroduce the dog to the system, you basically want to start from scratch with the training. But you can usually do it faster than an untrained dog. So instead of taking three weeks, you can cut that down to ten days.
Since the dog has likely not forgotten the boundary rules, only that there is a consequence for breaking them, the dog relearns the rules very quickly. Particularly after they hear the warning beep the dog and definitely after they get the first correction they start to relearn very quickly.

Question: I had to give my 1 yr old australian shepherd to my parents b/c i left the country for a month. My dad had to train him on an invisible fence sine their yard is not fenced in. When i return I will have about 2 months until I move up north where I will have to give the dog back to my parents for about a year. Will my parents have to retrain the dog? Those are smart creatures and I assumed he would learn very quickly his boundaries around the yard if he was only taken away for 2 months….
ADMIN – Hi Ernest,
The is unlikely to need retraining. They should get right back in the routine. We have clients that have fences in both their summer home and regular home and the dogs go between them without missing a beat. If you are concerned, you could put the flags back out for a few days when he returns, but I don’t think it will be necessary.
