Yes. What we were told to do is determine a good spot to walk your dog out of the yard and use that spot every time. As you approach the spot, but before your dog comes into contact with the antenna signal, remove the collar. That way the dog is supposed to associate associate removal of the collar with safely leaving the yard.

In practice some dogs reject going across that perceived barrier even with their collar off. Thankfully our pet is under 20 pounds so we just pick him up and carry him across when he refuses.
