General Training Considerations

Understanding the Purpose of Training
Training is a method of changing your dog's behavior. If used properly, your
BigLeash Remote Trainer will help you train your dog more effectively.
Your remote trainer can be used to train your dog in two ways:
1.
To respond appropriately to action commands such as "Come", "Sit", and
"Stay."
2.
To eliminate inappropriate behaviors such as jumping, digging and excessive
barking.
Understanding Your Dog's Response To Stimulation
Stimulation (the correction from the dog's collar) has been a safe and effective
•
part of dog training for over forty years. All dogs respond differently when they
feel a mild stimulation. Some dogs may demonstrate little, if any, reaction, while
others may yelp or jump back. Some dogs "freeze".
It is important to remember that your dog will not automatically understand what
•
to do when he receives a correction from the remote trainer. For training to be
effective, you must understand how to use the remote trainer appropriately.
Set the Training Level just to the point of mild discomfort (like a quick tug on a
•
leash) to get the dogs attention without creating anxiety. Anxiety will make it
more difficult for him to learn.
We recommend using the lowest effective correction level.
"
Do not try to comfort the dog if he receives a correction. It will reinforce his anxiety.
Dog Personalities and Traits
Keep in mind that dog personalities and traits differ among and within breeds.
•
It is important to understand your dog's unique personality.
A gregarious dog or a dog who is easily distracted may take longer to train.
•
Understanding your dog will make the training easier for both of you!
Creating The Right Environment
Attitude and Consistency are Important!
1. Keep the training "light". Use lots of praise. Keep the dog's spirits high.
2. Use high happy tones for praise. Use low tones for negative commands. Use
calm, soothing tones to keep eager, energetic dogs focused; and enthusiastic
praise to keep quiet dogs engaged in the activity.
3. In the early stages, limit the training session to 15-20 minutes. Include periods
of free play and praise to keep your dog enthusiastic and happy.
