Now teaching to heel could be an entirely different story.
I'm picturing the dog in perfect heel position, but 5 feet away from the handler.
I'm guessing the dogs "focus on the handler" will be pretty good during heeling too. Doubtful if the dog will take it's eyes off of Betty when she's anywhere close.
Actually she knows knows the ball is in the water bucket (she put it there). If you watch closely this is where she looks first, but she is fooled because of how the ball is angled in the bucket and doesn't see it. At this point she figures I hid it somewhere, she checks around,then returns to where she knows she left it and wah la, there it is. I like how she simply walks away with it. lol
I have the same collar, used on my almost-deaf dog. The vibrator function is all I use.
I thought about teaching it as a recall signal, but ended up (after a discussion thread on here, in fact) teaching it as "look at me." Then I use a hand signal for whatever I want him to do.
Turns out that what I want is the recall, almost every time.

If you notice in the first video, fara is in a down position when I ask for an out. This is a protocol we established using the e collar.
When she was younger she would happily drop the toy on command (for anyone) but then snatch it from your hand when you picked it up, often catching your fingers in her jaws. Ouchy Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Is that bone??? Do I need a stitch for that kinda ouch.
Even though she has earned the right to be trusted, I still won't allow anyone to take a toy from her unless she downs and out's it first. Except a tug... her outs are perfect all the time. But until I get some training, she is only allowed to play tug with me.
