Remote Collar Education
Ecademy
Go Beyond the Basics and master remote collar training in a way that dramatically increases success with clients, lessens your training time and increases profit margin.
In the ever-evolving landscape of professional dog training, remote collars have become a popular tool. While many may understand how to push a button, few have mastered seamless integration of this modern technology to gain the edge in a competitive marketplace.
What is the Ecademy?
The Ecademy program had humble beginnings in 2002 when a few professional trainers asked Robin to teach them what she knew about using a remote collar. Through years of refinement, it grew into an immersive, hands-on learning experience that breaks down integration of remote training collars into a pet training program into three skills necessary for success:
Explaining, Training, and Coaching
Mastering the three pillars of articulating concepts, working skillfully with the dog, plus being able to transfer that knowledge and skill set to your client is what separates the average, from the exceptional.
If you’re looking to be exceptional, the Ecademy program is the right choice for you!
The flagship Ecademy program is an in-person, 40-hour, hands-on experience taught over five days. It is the perfect choice if you learn best through immediate hands-on feedback and the inspiration that evolves in a group dynamic.
New in 2024 is a virtual training option. The virtual course covers much of the same material but there are some differences due to the constraints of not being in person. The virtual option combines pre-recorded lectures and videos with 7 weeks of weekly coaching calls.
BOTH courses are taught by Robin. Both involve lectures, Robin demonstrating techniques, plus your participation in working with dogs. Virtual participants provide videos of their work and receive feedback on areas if improvement or steps for advancement

Testimonials
Robin — Thank you for challenging me to be the most interesting thing to my dog! Although I came to your fetch workshop expecting to learn a few new tricks, I left with an entire toolkit of skills that are continuing to help me improve my relationship with my dog. It’s incredibly rewarding to see Kona hold her “fetch” because it serves as a little reminder of what we can achieve together with patience, persistence, and perfect practice!
I have worked with Robin for going on 12yrs. I have owned Labrador Retrievers for the purpose of recreational Waterfowl Sport Dog use. I recently purchased a new Labrador Retriever puppy. He is from strong hunting lines. I knew right away he would be getting all his obedience training with Robin. Drake is a very energetic, busy dog, so needs good obedience to keep his composure. I also have 2 kids ages 8 (boy) and 10 (girl). My last Labrador… Read more “Travis and Drake”
I quit my job with a plan to section hike the Appalachian Trail. The pandemic hit and I was unable to travel so I got a Brittany puppy named Hank. Hank is energetic and exuberant and loves to chase anything that moves. The summer he was nearing a year old, the Appalachian Trail reopened for backpacking. Hank was not well-trained enough to be a trail dog. Chasing a black bear would not be good for Hank or the bear! I… Read more “Staci and Hank”
Robin is one of the best dog trainers you’ll ever find. Your dog will be both happier and more reliable once you’ve used Robin’s techniques.
Robin absolutely opened my eyes on the use of the e collar. Her simplicity to teach and ability to help you achieve your goals are one of the main characteristics I valued from her. She taught me how useful is to have the tool to correct the dog without being invasive. She is so clear on the use of the e collar that she broke every myth I could have, and clear up every question I got from the e… Read more “Maria José Rivera”
I was wanting to work with Robin for some time but thought me being in Australia would have been a problem. After speaking to Robin about what I wanted to learn she set a plan in place for me. I was so happy I was going to get taught the trained retrieve by Robin. Robin set up schedule for the training and then we began talking more on Skype to go over the pre requisites and process of the trained… Read more “James Maturana”
