TRIPLE CROWN TIPS
You should begin to use your Remote Collar to reinforce come, sit and place commands when needed, but not near people or other animals. You do not want your dog to think the person or animal he is near caused the stimulation as remote collars are nondirectional. Hold your leash or long line whenever you reinforce a command with your Remote Collar. Assisting your dog with the leash or long line will help your dog learn faster. DO NOT use your Remote Collar to reinforce commands that have not yet been covered . Sit at heel. If dog breaks, hold down stimulation button and repeat command. Release stimulation once dog is sitting. Praise for sitting. |
