Occasionally I post video clips of some of the e-collar training we do here at That’s My Dog! Recently I posted footage of our group class when we played a game called Red Light – Green Light. You remember that game from when you were a kid? One person is the ‘caller’ saying red light or green light to indicate stop or go behavior from the rest of the players. The objective is to run as fast as you can […]
Here at The Truth About Shock Collars I receive many e-mails containing stories, photos, testimonials and questions about the use of electronic collars. These notes come from dog owners around the globe, people just like you and I who love their dogs and want what is best for them. I don’t edit the stories, questions or information, I just give it to you straight up, as is. So even though those scary words, “shock collar” are used again in the […]
My friend, Michael, from Michigan Dog Trainer shared another video on recent success with remote dog collar training. This one titled “Five minute Wyatt” demonstrates how quickly a dog can grasp the concept of how to walk with out pulling on leash when using an electronic collar to assist with the teaching. I want to make it clear that we are not trying to say that the e-collar is magic or that learning remote dog collar training is the be […]
Another testimonial from satisfied e-collar users. This one from a couple in Fort Wayne, IN who found help with Clarice at Flying Colors Canine. It is always nice to hear from owners of small dogs regarding their success with the remote collar. It is even nicer to hear how successful the training was for a dog considered sensitive to correction.
There are days I wonder if I have something seriously wrong with me, ok, don’t answer that, you’re right, there are a few things, but about the strange obsession with the “shock collar”… Hardly a day goes by
The e-collar is only for lazy dog trainers and dog owners right? I am sure you’ve either heard that one before or perhaps you’ve thought it. After all, if all you have to do is push a button
My friends in the UK at BritishDog sent this note over as an example of the feedback they get from their clients regarding purchasing electronic training collars. British Dog carries a variety of dog training collars & equipment, toys, and dog gear. Our e-mail correspondence started when Wales passed a ban on remote training collars. We were discussing the absurdity of such bans and how limiting tool options doesn’t solve the problem of people become frustrated with their pets and […]
Thought you might enjoy seeing a small clip from our class today. Everyone is using a remote collar as part of their training protocol. Happy Training!
I had an interesting call the other day from an Animal Control officer wanting to know my take on whether or not a remote dog training collar should be considered the same as a leash. Apparently the idea was proposed that city ordinances be altered to include e-collars as an acceptable substitute for a physical leash. Those of you that have been following this blog for a while are probably pretty aware that you won’t find a much bigger advocate […]
Today I thought I would share a question from a fellow dog lover about e-collar training and the concept of a dog becoming collar wise. This is always an interesting topic and helps lead all of us to better training habits. My answer is below, but please share your thoughts as well.
