We have a sporting/hunting dog that gets too much exitement to run and follow a scent, especially when we're hunting. What kind of e-collar do you recommend to solve this issue?
Full Question:
Hello, my name is Cindy, as well. Anyway, we have a 37 lb. 3 year old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever we adopted last year a sporting/hunting dog. She is well behaved, well balanced and a joy. Our problem: We love to hike and love to do so with our Nicky off lead? Although, she is balanced, well behaved and she knows her basic commands, off lead is way too much of an enticement to do what she was bred to do, run and follow a scent.What kind of e-collar would you recommend if any? How would you train to have her stay on the trail and not run off into the wild blue yonder? I do not need her to come to me; I need her to do whatever she likes as long as she on the trail within sight.
CAN YOU HELP? Thanks A Bunch for your time and advice?
As always,
Cindy
Cindy's Answer:
I would recommend the Dogtra 280 NCP, I use this collar every day in the application that you will be using it. I take my dogs for an hour snowshoe hike daily off leash and there are always deer, squirrels and other tempting critters to chase. Once the dog is fluent with the collar, it won’t be a problem to communicate with her what you want.
I would make sure you get the video as well; it’s 50% off if you buy the collar at the same time. Electric Collar Training for the Pet Owner.
I hope this helps.
