GENERAL TRAINING TIPS

Getting started

Your dog must know some basic obedience commands

before e-collar training. A dog learns by first being

shown a command, followed by lots of repetition over an

extended period of time. As the dog becomes proficient

at these commands, you can introduce distractions and

different locations. With the correct amount of positive

and negative reinforcement, you should end up with a

well-mannered dog.

On-leash obedience training

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

basic obedience commands. A tug on the leash/collar

is used to reinforce these commands. When your dog

complies with the command, use positive reinforcement/

praise. Once the dog understands these commands, the

e-collar can be used to reinforce them further.

Beginning e-collar training

When your dog understands on-leash obedience

commands, you can start with e-collar training. With

the dog on the leash with the e-collar on, continue

with your obedience drills. Light stimulation, on nick or

constant, is going to be applied as a command is given.

The stimulation is removed as the dog complies. Through

repetition, the dog learns to stop the light stimulation by

performing the commands. E-collar training is another

form of negative reinforcement; similar to the leash and

standard collar training. When the dog complies with the

command, we use praise/positive reinforcement. 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. Keep the initial

training sessions short and positive. Dogs have a short

attention span, especially younger dogs.

How much stimulation to use

The level of stimulation best suited for your dog depends

on your dog's temperament and threshold for stimulation.

Always start at the lowest level and work your way

up. The appropriate level can be found when the dog

responds to the stimulation with a mild reaction such as

a tensing of the neck muscles. The stimulation level may

vary depending on the training situation. When highly

distracted, dogs will require a higher level of stimulation.
