GENERAL TRAINING TIPS

Your dog must know some basic obedience commands

before beginning training with the 1900S HANDSFREE.

A dog learns by first being shown a command, followed

by lots of repetition over an extended period. As the

dog becomes proficient at these commands, the trainer

can introduce distractions and different locations to

strengthen them.

Obedience Training on the Leash

Your dog must fully understand the obedience

commands (sit, stay, here, heel, and kennel) before using

the e-collar for reinforcement of these commands. A

leash attached to a standard collar is used to "teach" the

dog the basic obedience commands (here, heel, sit, and

stay). A tug on the leash/collar is used to reinforce the

command. When the dog complies with the command,

use positive reinforcement/praise. Once the dog

understands these commands, the e-collar can be used

to reinforce them.

Beginning E-Collar Training

When you feel your dog understands the obedience

commands on the leash we can now start with the

e-collar training. With the dog on the leash and wearing

the e-collar, continue with your obedience drills. Apply

light stimulation (Nick or Constant) when a command

is given; the stimulation can be removed as the dog

complies. Through repetition, the dog learns to perform

the command.

The final step is the avoidance phase in which the

dog learns that he can avoid the stimulation altogether

by performing your commands. When these training

procedures are complete, the e-collar is used as a reminder

when the dog does not comply with your commands at

home or in the field. Keep your initial training sessions

short and positive as dogs have a short attention span.

How Much Stimulation to Use

Always start with low levels of stimulation and work your

way up depending on the disposition of your dog and the

given situation. By using the correct amount of stimulation

to get your point across, you will have a more controllable

environment and a dog that is under less stress.

Animals (and humans) perform better in a less stressful

environment.
