E Collars Shock Collars

Hello and welcome,

So i see a lot of people talking about the e-collar and saying thats its a bad thing. Well any kind of training tool can be bad for your dog; so why is this any different? I have seen and have used a shock collar as most of you know it as. To me a shock- collar is a great tool and can save many dogs from being put down. So you ask why? Well if used right it can be the best tool of all. I have used flat collars, chock chain, martingale collars, and even used the prong collar all which did nothing, but cause pain for my dog which was something i didnt want. Now i have the e-collar and there is no more yanking,yelling and no more stress walks when she would see a stateboard or rollerblades going by. If the e-collar were to be in the wrong hands yes, it could harm your dog if you dont know what your doing just like any training tool. A shock is something that comes out of no where, so when you use the e-collar you want to put a command with the page. Example: You call your dog to come and the dog doesnt come then you try it with the e-collar and you call your dog with the page the dog comes, now without touching the page call your dog to come, and now dog comes when called. This collar gives a clear message to your dog there is no messing this up unless your doing it wrong, so before you think the collar is bad do your research and go find people that do use them and try it out yourself. Rememeber any training tool can bring harm to your dog if not done right or if in the wrong hands.

Your Dog Is Listening - Your Just Not Speaking The Right Language

All dogs no matter how big or small have the same kind of mindset to them. If a person understands that mindset one should not have any problem training whatever kind of dog they choose to get. If one does not understand that mindset then they are in luck because they are about to get some insight.

As you plan out your dog training sessions, focus on only teaching your pet one new skill at a time.  Too many instructions and expectations can cause your dog to become confused and frustrated.  You will achieve much better results if you work on one skill, achieve mastery and then move on.

Learn how to read your dogs body language for a better dog training experience. Once you have found out what certain behaviors are signifying, you will have the knowledge to unlock hidden doors. You will be able to tell if they are tired, distracted by something else, or are in the perfect mood to learn. This provides you with a very great advantage.

Set a routine as much as possible when training your dog. Dogs respond well to regular activities such as exercise or bathroom breaks, so putting them on a routine encourages good behavior. Feed your dog at the same time each day to further establish a routine, and be as consistent as possible.

When you train your dog, you dont have to train him to do exactly what your training book or video says he should do; however, you must train him to behave in a way that will fit in well with your family. You must train him in such a way that you can take him for a walk or to the vet without a lot of drama. By determining exactly what sort of behavior you need from your dog and then working consistently to attain that behavior, you will support your dog in having a happier and more successful life.

To teach your dog to lie down, have him start in a sit position. Take a treat, and place your hand on the ground. Slowly drag it away from your dog. Your dog should initially lower his nose to the ground, and then lie down as he tries to follow the treat further away. If he stands up instead of lying down, have him restart from the sit position. Make sure to praise him once he lies down.

When correcting bad behavior that your dog displays, you should always make sure that your corrections are short and well-defined. If your corrections are vague, your dog will not understand how to improve its bad behavior. This will frustrate both you and your pet. If your corrections are clear and easily understood, your dog is likely to make the correction.

Understanding the way a dog thinks and the way that they process information can be the important step in training a dog. By having this knowledge an individual can train their dog in the most effective way possible. Now that one knows a little more about their dog they can give it better training.
