“Just as with any product that sounds too good to be true, I was at first skeptical about remote collar training. When my dog began to
How Do You Use a Shock Collar? Is it Abusive? I’ve witnessed conversations by professional trainers regarding the average pet owner, that they don’t understand how do you use a shock collar for training a dog and therefore they should not be allowed to purchase one. There is concern that without a high level of expertise and perfect timing JQ Public will use the tool abusively and thus harm dogs through application of *pain and fear*. Some trainers and behaviorists […]
A headline that claims an e-collar can help a dog go from anxious and aggressive to happy and content may seem hard to believe for some. But for those in the know, it is a common occurrence. I suspect the bigger question about using the e-collar to work with dog’s like Marley is why does it work so well? Science is going to have to jump in and provide more research but it is my opinion that using a low-level […]
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!
Another testimonial from a family happy they learned how a remote collar could help them with their dog. It sounds like these folks were at the end of their rope and Buddy would of lost his home soon if a solution wasn’t found. I love this story cause we all know THAT dog! Some of us have also owned THAT dog! The good new is, THAT dog can be fixed. What does it take to fix THAT dog?
Thought I’d share a little video I made over the weekend of my pup, Diva. Just a few of the tricks she knows and how I pair motivational use of the remote collar with her favorite rewards of food and the green orb! Just for some fun viewing today! Happy Training oh….and maybe you can do me a favor and forward to someone who believe remote collars can only be used in a punitive fashion. 🙂
I received a post card in the mail the other day. It is an ad for Ian Dunbar’s workshop that is currently touring the US. The title is: Science-Based Dog Training with Feeling. I’m thinking about going because the information makes it sound as though Dr. Dunbar is promoting some use of consequence as a responsible part of dog training, which makes me curious about the presentation. I’ve seen Dr. Dunbar in the past, in fact his tapes Sirius Dog […]
Is it possible that training with an electronic “shock collar” could be a health benefit to the dog? That sounds like a big question doesn’t it? Is it a trick question? I suppose that depends on how you look at it. As our regular readers know, we don’t really think they are collars that are all that shocking. It is just the revelation of the truth that stuns some people. (yes, that pun was intended!) 🙂 Read the interesting note […]
Today’s guest post is from professional dog trainer, Andi Watson of EZ Dog Training. Hi, Everyone: I have been asked, and quite frankly have wondered from time to time, “How small is too small for a dog to wear or use an e-collar?”
Meet Bear. Bear was the first dog that went through our adopt program. We routinely adopt dogs from a local shelter, train them and find them new, permanent homes. When I first meet Bear, he had been in the shelter for a pretty long time and was losing his chance at finding a home.
