Dog Training Unleashed
Training With The Remote Collar System
Todays advances in modern electronic dog training collars
have made it possible to use just the right setting for each
individual dog being trained. At our facility we use primarily
Dogtra dog training collars due to the quality and reliability
these collars offer.
The process begins with introducing your dog to the collar
and the stimulation it produces. The introduction allows us to
find that just right level (A feeling equivalent to a tap on the
shoulder) and is the most important step in the process.
After the introduction phase we move to the teaching phase.
Here we guide the dog into a position such as.. Sit or Down
by using gentle pressure or a food lure as we use the collar
to signal the start of the exercise and the end of the
exercise. This gives clear communication to your dog as to
what we are asking of him.
We use many repetitions for each exercise to turn each new
exercise into a habit. Once your dog has a good idea of all
his new commands we can begin the maintenance phase.
This phase is where we use the new commands in as many
new places as possible to help your dog generalize each
exercise.
Each dog quickly goes from a six foot leash to a long line to
give more freedom to teach the recall. We teach this
exercise just as we do other exercises until your dog
responds each time he hears his name and the Come
command. This is THE most important command your dog
will learn and will need to be generalized around lots of
distractions in many different places.
As I said, we do this by teaching, Not correcting for not
responding. Like any other training program, Remote collar
training requires guidance and repetitions for it to be
successful.
We strive for the greatest success possible by setting each
dog up for success!
Headhalters are more humane.
**The ecollar is a humane method of dog training when used as instructed.
Headhalters can contort the dog's neck causing injury to muscles or bones as
the dog struggles with the nose loop or an owner constantly tugging the dogs
head back toward them as the dog pulls forward. We use headhalters when
they are truly needed but they are not for every dog.
Petstore training is cheaper.
**Yes. It is. You get what you pay for. A qualified remote dog trainer will take
your dog far beyond basic on leash training in the same time or less than the
Big Petstore training programs.
You can't use a shock collar on a small dog.
**First, let's get away from calling the device a shock collar. Quality ecollars
have a different feel than bark collars or invisible fence collars. It feels like
static and the lower levels of stimulation make it allow us to work with a level
just right for each dog. Todays collars are also available in sizes for dogs
under 10lbs.
I don't want to stress my dog out.
**Any training program can cause a little stress during the teaching stages.
During this time your dog is learning self control and having to 'think' about
what he is doing. This takes a lot of concentration on his part and mental
stress that's no different than a human child studying their school work.
Remote collar training is for stubborn dogs, dogs with behavioral problems,
or as a last resort for bad dogs.
**Totally false. Trainers today are using the ecollar as a training tool and not
exclusively as a correction device. These methods work for any dog not just
problem dogs.
An ecollar on a dog aggressive dog will only make the dog more aggressive.
**While two dogs are fighting or one dog is targeted onto another dog's
presence is NOT the time to introduce a dog to the ecollar stim. With proper
foundation training an aggressive dog can learn self control around other dogs
with amazing results. Again, train, not correct, for lasting results.
Won't the collar burn my dog's neck.
**No. The collar does not produce heat or an electrical current capable of
producing heat. An improperly fitted collar or an allergic reaction to metal are
generally the two causes of collar sores.
