OUTLINE
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of a remote collar is not too punish a dog for not minding, but rather to redirect a dog from a distraction and get it to comply to what we are asking it to do with the least amount of force possible.
I purchased my first remote collar in 1978 and produced the first version of this course as a DVD in 2008. Quite frankly, the information in this new DVD (which was produced in 2019) is light years ahead of what I put into that DVD 11 years ago.
Training dogs with remote collars is one of the most misunderstood dog training tools ever invented. This DVD is going to simplify the training program for remote collars. It will also demystify old wives tails concerning "electric collar training".
We show new trainers that remote collars do not have to hurt our dogs. We also help trainers understand exactly when and how they should add collar training to their obedience program. Doing this correctly solves so many behavioral problems people have when they don't use remote collars the right way.
We cover how to select the right collar for you and your dog. Our feeling is that remote collars should be very easy to learn and simple to operate. Too many collars today have bells and whistles that only complicate their operation.
In a step-by-step manner, we cover when and how to introduce a dog to the feeling of low level stimulation. When this is done correctly, our dogs do not get stressed. They also learn that stimulation does not hurt.
Once the dog has been introduced to what stimulation feels like, we have a protocol that determines the dog's working level of stimulation. Every dog is different. You will see that breed and size has nothing to do with what level of stimulation a dogs needs to work.
In the chapter title "Determining Your Dogs Work Level of Stimulation," you will watch us work with 15 dogs of different breeds and sizes. You can watch each of these dogs go through our protocol. That segment will convince you that every dog is different and the size of the dog has nothing to do with how it reacts to stimulation.
There is an old wives tail that remote collar training is painful for our dog. That may have been the case many years ago, but today that is 100% not the case. We teach pet owners to use low level stimulation that is not at all painful. We compare working stimulation levels to a tap on the dogs shoulder reminding him that it needs to pay attention and follow directions.
The beauty of a remote collars can be seen when our dog is put in a highly distracting environment, like a deer or cat that jumps and runs while out on a walk. With the remote we have the ability to stop our dog from chasing.
The methods we used to determine our dogs working levels of stimulation have changed. We have learned a lot about working levels over the past 11 years. We learned that when dog's are correctly introduced to the feeling of low level stimulation they will respond to levels so low that we humans cannot even feel the stimulation.
I just briefly want to share my video with you on our success story with my five-year-old husky Mika. I’ve had a lot of dogs and I’ve done a lot of training over the years including having German shorthairs who had what we called shock collars 25 years ago. My husky and I hike very frequently and I’ve had her off leash most of her life. I’ve read huskies should not be off leash, so I worked very hard with her to get her to be off leash,. She does very well running through the forest with me but she’s also very smart and very stubborn. When it’s time to put her back on the leash, after about a 3 mile hike, it’s very hard sometimes to get her back. She will walk 20 feet in front of me or next to me. She won’t runoff she just does not want me to put her on the leash. Over the last six months the trails have gotten a little busier and I do run into other people more. I do want her to come back to me when I ask her to on my terms. I watched your videos and I followed your instructions. I wanted to share my results with you with this video. Thank you so much. We are so pleased with the results. I am also amazed that her working level was an eight in the beginning when I worked with her on the leash in my driveway, and now all I need to do is use the vibrate setting.
Thank You
Sandie and Mika
