How to Use an ECOLLAR Correctly

- The ecollar, also often referred to as electric collar or SHOCK Collar can be a very effective tool for dog training or it can be an instrument of torture.. it all depends on your understanding of the tool. In this video I work with Rio and Harold. Rio has been wearing his ecollar for (on and off) about a week now, but it's never been turned on. Today we turn the collar on and introduce him to the stimulation.... BUT before I do that, Harold and I do a little session on ourselves.

In this short video you'll see all the basics that I describe. The full version as well as numerous other ecollar videos and non-ecollar dog training videos are available on my members only dog training site: robertcabral.c...
Using an ecollar properly is the ultimate communication tool with your dog. It does not involve shocking, scared or screaming dogs. It truly can be a lifesaver for many dogs. I've used ecollars on countless dogs and opened up a world of freedom, communication and opportunity for them.

Great video Robert, I use the e-collar stimulation mode for recall just like in this video, I know my e-collar has both the stimulation and vibration modes, when would you use the vibration mode, have seen people only use this mode for recalls also ?
Hi Robert great videos cheers from UK...a question half check collar or harness for male gsd 48kg?,club trainers say half check collar always which I now use, previously used a harness still have advice appreciate d....
Hey Robert, can you pls confirm tugging the line and tapping collar button and verbal order
Once again, teaching the handler -- not the dog -- is why Robert is so successful. I found 80% of dog owners have no idea how to effectively communicate with their dog. Robert's timing is impeccable.
Well-put. Cabral is telling the truth as he knows it and he has handled many dogs over a lot of years.
I love how messy this looks, makes me feel better about how my ecollar training is going.
Totally agree with you!
Hey Charlie, how's the training going?
Yes, me too! But we got there in the end. Keep working! It is really an amazing tool when used right.
My 1st Mastiff was trained with the e collar and prong collar. After a few months he needed neither. I discovered that he didn't need the prong after a few lessons and no longer needed the e collar once I discovered it was broken. BTW. The problems I had was training me to do the right thing.
And I think most dogs could learn without those things
If you use both at the same time would you put the prong above or below the e-collar?

@@hunterh8487 We didn't use the prong for very long and not at the same time.
I found it hilarious how the guy responded exactly how a dog would. Another fantastic video Robert.
This clears up everything for me regarding the e collar
Great video showing correct collar conditioning. Thank you .
thanks Laura!
The fact that you had to teach the handler more than the dog proves to me that this was a real session well done Mr Cabral
My trainer just introduced my Mal and me to e collar - E Collar Technologies Micro Educator. Using a setting of 20 for training but using 90 for correction, such as chewing shoes. It works.
Mr. Robert Love this Educational video well said
Another awesome video brother.
Best explanation I've ever found for this !
Thanks Robert, What kind of collar are you using here? Much appreciated for all your teachings
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this video!
I've been watching videos on e collars for over and hour and fiiiinally someone says when they're turning it on/off. Everyone else it just saying "come!" see?" and not saying what they're doing, or talking about philosophy and their boxing days lol. thank you say doing what your video says and doing it clearly and without fluff
👍🏽❤️👍🏽
I saw a different video in which the instructor said not to turn off the vibration until the dog makes contact with their hand. Seems like a huge difference. That trainer did say that in the first few sessions, you need to reach out and touch the dog to get it to understand that contact with you ends the stimulation. Still, big difference between stimulation ending when it turns and starts returning and stimulation through the completion of the return.
Once you establish a response (eye contact) do you mark that and then use same when needed ?
Robert the GOAT.
What a great tutorial! Perfect dog trainers
Can you use the vibration for the command and a 5 or 6 in the shock for the correction?
I need this for myself, because I have ADHD, and sometimes when my wife calls me…I’m checked out, or distracted with a project, or game! 😂
Robert. My sportdog model collar has 1 thru 10. 1 makes my dog react with a flinch or similar...any ideas?
Even at lowest level the voltage way too high. Be careful of the chinese models. They will damage your dog. Get a mini educator.
@ Jack Anthony . I use a Czeck made collar that has 40 levels and condition trained on level 1. I can't feel it all until it's in double numbers. Works on easy to buy batteries that last from 6 months to a year , depending on use. The less levels you have the harsher (for want of a better word ) the collar is. I use the Dog Trace Professional 1000. Hope this helps. I steered away from Sportdog because of the lack of levels.
I use Garmin products. I have found they are excellent! I also have used the mini educator and also had good luck with that brand as well. You might can get some “comfort tips” for you sportdog that will cut the levels down as well.
I use an e collar on my gsd when we go out on a farm, she gets to blast around without any care in the world.
has opened my dogs world
You hit tap first and THEN call the dog? Or you call the dog and then tap?
I just purchased what looks like a similar Surefit type collar for use with the e caller? Is there any concern that one of the bungees may snag and tighten up accidentally and end up choking the dog?
I would always keep an eye on my dog. But this is not something I would worry about if used properly.
The ecollar is the best tool ever to allow a dog complete off leash freedom. I now trust my once feral rescue dog even in a field of rabbits thanks to properly conditioning her to it. I've never had to use it higher than 3/10 so it's definitely not about the shock but the effective communication.
Anytime me know this exact breed??
I have a question how do you know when he feels it or not
What is the brand of the e collar?
Show. Fantastic. Thanks
What did you use to make this collar? I see some cable, what links/contacts did you use, and what did you use on the ends?

what kind of e collar?
Ther eis only one kind of e collar if your talking abt brand wise there is a ton of them, people confuse e collars with shock collars which is a HUGE difference and misunderstanding. Shock collars actually bring physical harm to the dog in order to listen whereas e collar is more of non stop vibration and some times if the dog does not care for the small stimulus you turn it up high so at that point the vibration is uncomfortable around the neck area.
Highly recommend the garmin delta series. I have the upland version which was ~225 dollars. Looks just like this one but bright orange for visibility.
@@bruh-ItsTokyo I think you might be a little confused? Anything that has any sort of stimulation would be an E collar. My e collar has a vibrate mode and stimulation mode but it's an E collar... I did not know there were collars with just vibration. Never heard of that... I guess that definitely would not be an E collar
@@bruh-ItsTokyo What he showing here is an ecollar which gives a electrical stimulation at different levels.
I like the mini educator
👌
Good dog trainers don't really train dogs, they train people. Any more, when i need to see my dog trainer about something, rarely does the dog come with.
What's the best e collar
I really like my mini educator from ecollar technology.
Mini educator.. with chameleon extender For long haired dogs
best brands to buy from are Ecollar technologies, dogtra and garmin (the ecollar used in this video is a garmin delta XC )
Martin Systems Chameleon III-B

That “June Gloom” marine layer CA coastal communities are blessed to have in the AM ….. missing that here in south Texas where it’s miserably hot & humid. But you can keep that. I’ll keep my 2nd Amendment Constitutional Rights, no lock down, low property taxes, low median home prices (except Austin which is the newest burgeoning CA metropolitan area), no homeless where I live, business friendly, Republican majority in State House/Senate, Republican Governor, no state income tax, amongst other freedoms. Say hi to Gavin and his Aunt Nancy!
What’s the point of this comment?
@@ivyrose779 Always like to remind folks of the gorgeous geographical and beautiful weather advantaged of CA…..however the communism ruins it all. Guess you get what you vote for.
I use an E spray collar, works great too.
Work on that jumping
good training but a difficult dog. He's not totally getting it, it seams.
My dog's name was Rio. Brindle short-haired doxy-bulldog mix.
During this whole exercise he never adjusts the lease properly…weird
Weird he has black guy on a leash
199k .... ;)
Tick tick tick.
One of the simplistic ways of teaching this👏👏
Awesome video, this is invaluable for people who can't afford a trainer. This is the exact way our trainer uses the collar
It's too early to teach the e collar I think for this dog. He has no attention. Train this dog before it's meals and trust me it will be focused. The owner needs to step up and be aeader because that big dog is in control not the owner.
Question! So the end goal here is that when he feels the stimulation he turns back to you, no verbal command needed right? Cuz the stim is first and then he gets the command. So in the future do we want the dog to recall when he feels the stim or just pay attention? Trying to get this straight in my mind before I start! 😄 Would really appreciate clarification.
Your question is NOT entitled to an answer. You are not a client and Cabral did not make a video to answer your questions.
One tip if I may. Spend several weeks putting the collar on the dog without using it, especially if you want to eventually work the dog without it. Otherwise they quickly work out when it's on and when it's not. Just sometimes putting it on around the house without using it even after initial training will further enhance that. My experience anyway.
Hello, great video! What E Collar are you using? Or which do you recommend
Comment section: “I don’t use E-Collars, but let me tell you how to use an E-Collar” 😒
Amazing. Thank you.
First comment. Hope this vid is great as always !
So once he reacts do you cue or mark?
It would be great if the levels were limited in manufacture to reasonable not harm full or painful levels so owners could not seriously hurt the dog
each dog is different. very low levels can negatively affect some dogs and some higher levels have no affect on others. its up to the handler to determine!
Hello. I'm using a similar method, however, I'm not releasing stim until the dog completes the recall or the send away/place command. The order would be Pressure/Recall/Compliance/Completion/Mark/Reward. Is this incorrect?
I recently hurt my knee and it is going to be a long recovery. I can't chase after my dog if he chooses to ignore me. I just recently got one for my dog. Beeping / vibration / shock. Today, I only required the beeping to get the attention I needed from him to give the command. That being said, there were very few distractions today.
Thank you for this video and channel!
These videos show use of stim, but not use of all three modes. For instance tone for reward, vibration for attention, stimulation for correction. Seems like stimulation should be used very rarely after training the dog to understand each mode and meaning.
do you press the botton and say the command at the same time to first condition the dog to the collar?
At what Minimum age of the Dog do you think its good to use the e collar
Putting an electronic collar on a person's neck is silly. A human is not a dog physically or mentally. Not even close.
What would you suggest instead?
That was just to explain how it works on the dog.
@@ivyrose779 I am not required to explain anything to you. I am not a dog pro or falling into your silly trap...
Hi, I'm new to your channel and wish I had known then what I know now. I bought a Belgian Malinois German Shepherd x from a breeder. I let my emotions get the best of me, so she became a family member. She trains very well. Shes now 6 months old. We also have an older dog, he is a boxer mix. They have bonded very well, but when they play, she gets too rough. She doesn't break skin, but he's got extra skin that she grabs and pulls. I do stop her by telling her to settle, but I don't want her to be so rough. I've thought about putting a spike collar on him, or using an e-collar. If you or anyone has any thoughts about this, I'd appreciate before she gets to much older. Thankyou in advance. 😊
If you put a spike collar on your dog your mal mix will get injured.
@@corivloy387 Thankyou, I've never really seen one, it was suggested to me. That's enough answer for me, no to the collar. We'll just work on her learning when to stop. 😊🦋😊
Recall is all you need. When the dog get's to ramped up, recall the dog, let them calm down and release back to play.
@@thedoglifecoach5984 She's gotten so much better. I use calm, settle, or hugs. When I call hugs, she comes to me for hugs and a belly rub. She's learns very quickly and is getting to be more gentle. Ok, little mushy for a Mal, but she's my Mal and loves it. 😊🦋😊Thankyou
@@TheFlutterrbye Prong collars do not hurt the dog or injure the dog.
How do you get them to lose the annoyance of the collar and just accept it's the way it is? My wife is pretty mad right now, and responding with a lot of anger with stimulation, but more accepting of tone. She tends to stray so I'm hopeful this collar will help out.
Sorry, but in my view there’s NO correct way to use an ecollar. Scaring a dog, or causing pain is not the way to gain their trust. The dog feels it differently from a human and, of course the human understands why they be are getting a shock when they try it. Barbaric however you try and dress it up :-(
I'm always surprised where some people's minds instantly go... to the worst case.... it can ONLY be barbaric... I feel sorry that you feel this way and can't see the benefits that actually exist..
Did you even watch the video? How do you know it scares them or causes them pain? Did the dog in this video looked frightened or in pain when the stim was on? It’s not a shock.
Bloody cruel…..
