There are many dog training tools available to help us find solutions for training problems. I’m grateful for that, but recently, I had an evaluation with someone whose response to the idea of using a remote collar surprised me. The new puppy owner was seeking help due to concerns over the puppy’s biting behavior. While playbiting is normal puppy behavior, this little guy would resort to the higher end of the intensity scale if he decided he didn’t want to […]
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,

This is a very interesting letter that came from a woman in Vancouver, BC. It goes to show that the electronic remote training collar (aka: Shock collar) is just a tool and like any can be used well or used poorly. Jill Sharp is a former student of the TMD E-cademy program.

One of these days I’ll write about young dogs and puppies as well….but for today I just wanted to share some pictures of two little cuties that are currently going through training programs. Meet Lucky & Tessie. These two have a few things in common. For one, they are both young pups. Lucky is 18 weeks old and Tessie is 16 weeks old. […]
Remote collar training for dogs is my area of expertise. And my passion is helping people understand how to use the e-collar in ways that aren’t so, well…… shocking. 😉 In addition to teaching and training here at my facility in Southwest Wisconsin, I spend a fair amount of time on the road traveling and instructing workshops. Here is a small clip from a recent training workshop in Cleveland, OH. The topic for discussion was; does the stimulation need to […]
Remote collars can be a little intimidating to use if you don’t understand them. As with any new skill a person attempts to learn, there is a period of some uncertainty at first. However, once you find the right guidance you and your dogs can be quickly on your way to enjoying more fun together. I just received this note from a fellow dog professional who has started training her dog with an electronic collar and the Just Right dog […]
Training a Toy Breed Dog with a Remote Collar Remote collar training a toy breed dog? Can it be done? The short version answer is: Yes, of course.

Plus, I believe there is a certain amount of worry that somehow the electricity is *scary* or could hurt a smaller dog. But none of that is true. First […]
