GentleSteps™ Training
The Humane Approach to
Dog Fence Training
Step-by-Step Training for Happy, Confident Dogs
We appropriately call our Pet Stop dog-training method GentleSteps. That’s exactly what it is: a series of gentle steps to effectively and humanely condition your dog to understand the new boundaries. GentleSteps training is the modern incremental training program that reduces problems more commonly associated with traditional training by using barely perceptible levels of collar stimulation, just a tickle, during the initial training phase. While other companies may promote similar types of training, only GentleSteps offers levels this low and makes level adjustment this easy. Feel free to ask your local Pet Stop dog-fence expert to demonstrate. The behavior expert credited with this revolutionary low-stress training technique is professional trainer and Pet Stop dealer Rich Weinssen of Hidden Fence of New Jersey, who believes in a humane approach to pet training. He saw the opportunity to develop a low-stress approach by using a slow and gradual increase in correction supplemented by frequent training sessions.

- Low-stress and humane training method

What Sets Us Apart
Use of "barely perceptible levels" of stimulation
GentleSteps™ employs ultra-low levels of collar stimulation during initial training to keep your dog happy and secure in the yard. These barely noticeable simulations feel like a light tickle, similar to a static discharge, creating a positive and enjoyable experience focused on freedom and play.
Flexibility in adjusting stimulation to dogs' needs
GentleSteps™ programming offers a wide range of ultra-low collar stimulation settings, ensuring stress-free and secure learning for your dog. These gentle, tickle-like stimulations allow your pet to adapt comfortably while staying safe in the yard.
"We had Jason install RadioPet fencing about 5 years ago at our house. The fence has worked great, the training process was easy and it has kept my adventuress labs safe. The thing that we love most about RadioPet is the customer service. We have had work done on our property and any time we have needed to make a change with the fence Jason was there. The customer service is exceptional"
