    HOW OFTEN TO TRAIN

  • 10-15 minute sessions, one or two times a day.

    FRUSTRATED OWNERS / PROBLEM SOLVING

  • Most behavior problems are dogs being under-exercised
  • Once you teach come when called, you can really exercise the dog when you take the leash off
  • A tired dog is a good dog
  • Add just a little bit of structure around the house, most of the problems go away

    START USING ECOLLARS ON DAY 1

  • Instead of reinforcing known commands, Robin starts using the ecollar on Day 1

    PUSH THE BUTTON A LOT

  • Low pressure
  • Multiple pulses
  • Lots of repetition

    ECOLLAR CONDITIONING

  • First concept: when you feel sensation, move to handler
  • Teach three actions: move toward you, move away from you, and stop/be stationary

    HOW TO PUT COLLAR ON THE DOG

  • Pretty snug to make sure contact points are on neck

    INTRODUCING ECOLLAR TO YOUR DOG

  • Watch for subtle signs: a momentary pause in behavior

    WHAT'S THE RIGHT LEVEL?

  • "JUST RIGHT" is whatever your dog responds to
  • If dog is ignoring you, your level is too low
  • If dog is over-reacting or has a repeated startle response, it's too high

    GETTING STARTED ON THE TRAINING

  • First association is "move toward the handler"
  • Leash / long line -- handler move away from dog

    WHEN SHOULD MY DOG WEAR THE ECOLLAR?

  • Whenever you're interacting with the dog
  • Not when sleeping or at work, but most of the time.

    "We partnered with professional dog trainer Robin MacFarlane to develop these training videos."

    Robin MacFarlane is a fantastic professional dog trainer. We've been selling her JUST RIGHT DVDs for years and recently started working together on this new video series. What's really interesting about these videos is that Robin has never worked with these dogs before, and several younger dogs have never been trained on an ecollar. First, Robin walks you through the basic obedience commands showing what proper form looks like. Next, Robin shows how she introduces the ecollar to two of Steve's puppies, Jack & Tilly, and shows you how to find the right STIM level to communicate with your dog. She then turns that into a lesson for your dog to recognize that STIM means pay attention to your handler and expands that into a basic recall. Additional segments include teaching RECALL, PLACE, SIT, and HEEL.

    "Have little to no dog training experience nor ecollar experience? These videos are for you."
