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 […]
Never use an electronic collar or SHOCK COLLAR on your dog! Never, never, never! Well, at least that is what you find on the internet when pet owners ask questions about containment or keeping their dog from bolting out of a gate. Innocent people ask innocent questions, seeking information about a problem they are having. Then, opinionated people with no actual experience provide answers like the one above. The problem with opinion is
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 […]
A pet dog owners perspective on remote collar training (aka: shock collar training as some would call it) is always interesting to me. Under the guidance of a knowledgeable professional dog trainer the doubt always gives way to the “Wow” factor. It is hard not to be wowed by the results of a system that
Dog Aggression: How Do You Stop the Tea Pot from Boiling? There is a lot of buzz on the internet that a shock collar should not be used when dealing with dog aggression cases. The general war cry is that using a shock collar will make the situation worse and the dog more aggressive. The theory is that the dog will associate “pain” with the dogs or people in the immediate area and thus become more reactive. While I understand […]
The following testimonial has some pretty strong emotion. I don’t edit these things folks, so don’t shoot the messenger. The moral of the story…well, you will have to read through to the end to find out… To whom it concerns,
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?”
The UK is an area known for legislative upheaval in the dog training world, particularly in regard to electronic dog training equipment. The following testimonial is from a dog owner who used a remote collar after exhausting a myriad of other training advice and now has peace of mind that he can control his Border Collie’s dangerous habit of chasing cars.
This is a lovely testimonial I received recently. I appreciate the kind words, but the truth is, all I did was coach this great team. Amy and Fonzie did all the work. They have a lovely relationship and watching them work together is a delight. Kudo’s to both and good luck in the trials! I found Robin while looking for a way to teach my German Shorthaired Pointer to retrieve – to hand, every time – that didn’t involve sending […]
