With boundary flags in place, field fully operational and a fully charged Receiver Collar on your dog, use the training lead to escort your dog into the outer edge of the boundary field. When you hear the beeping tone, utter the retreat command while firmly tugging on the lead and lead your dog into the safe zone.
A short-term goal is a goal that is designed to be completed in a short period of time. Typically, short-term goals span a few days or a few weeks and never last longer than six months. Long-term goals span longer periods of time and can take six months or longer to complete.
Planning Strategy. The most efficient way of setting-up your goals is to divide them into short, medium and long term benchmarks, nested within each other. This way, a long term 10 year goal will have several two or three-year goals in it, with each divided into one-year goals. Those goals are not only different in time frame, but are also different in nature.
