BigLeash Vibration Training
Vibration training allows you to use the vibration signal from the remote trainer
as a stand-in for the traditional leash to accomplish your training objectives. The
goal is to achieve off-leash control aided and reinforced by the remote trainer.
Training is accomplished by using the vibration signal to simulate the different
pulling pressures usually associated with the leash during normal walking or
training exercises. Initially, your dog will learn to respond to your voice command
(or hand signal) in conjunction with a simultaneous leash tug and vibration signal.
As your dog learns the commands and associates them with the vibration signal,
you will be able to achieve the same results without the leash.
Helpful Tips
•
Each step builds on the previous step, so make sure you and your dog have
mastered the previous step before you move on.
•
Whenever your dog responds correctly make sure to reward him with praise
•
Depending on your dog's performance you may need to increase or decrease
the level of vibration
•
Always perform your training sessions in a place that is free of hazards that
could put you or your dog in danger.
Consistency
As with all types of training, consistency is the key to learning.
Timing
Send the vibration signal at the exact time you give the command and tug the
leash. When training without the leash, give the command and the vibration
signal at the same time. This helps your dog learn to associate the vibration
with the command.
