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

I attend the retrieve workshop in March 2015 (hosted by Summer Milroy from On The Ball K9 Training). I felt that Robin was an excellent teacher! I am an educator and the teaching techniques that Robin used are the exact techniques I use in the classroom. She gave us a short whole group lesson, then allowed us to practice on our own. The learning was at our own pace and Robin checked in with us to see how we were… Read more “Michelle with Lady”
Hey Robin, You helped me train my big lab Bruno on the shock collar via email and your DVD just right, and featured me on your blog.

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.

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”
