As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.
"Because he is a great dane, he's going to lay down everytime I ask him to do something." A truer statement has never been made! Hahaha
Fr 😂😂
It’s true!! I’ve owned a Dane
@@MaximillianandRubyGrace same
Can I ask why?
@@cherposton8242 because they’re so big, they get tired holding up their own weight and a lot of them have skeletal and muscular issues
Dude you helped solve my German Sheperds attention span problem so fast. Zak George’s methods and a lot of others were using puppies. My dog is 110 pounds, and your videos saved my relationship with my dog. I was running out of options. I hope you understand how many dogs you’ve helped because you’re the most underrated trainer EVER!!!!
Do you have the name of the collar.... I have a German Shepherd as well 8 months old and it's getting really rough and I think I need to go and use this to control him properly. Before we get hurt with him jumping I'm pulling
Zach George is a chode... Watch larry krohn
@@lisaweiss9990 do you know the name of the collar? I have a 10 month gsd and he is excessively barking at other dogs
@@jocelync8729 he uses the dogtra brand, one is called the ARC and the other is a smaller model can’t think of the name at the moment.
@@ryanlieder7459 thanks I was thinking of getting the doctra 280C for my 11month GSD to help with his dog reactivity
I was using the e collar completely wrong! Your video has been so helpful to communicate with my dog. My dog is so much happier, now that I understand this tool. Thank you.
Glad you learned!
You have changed my mind with reward based training only to balanced training with my dog after watching your videos over the last few weeks. I think some dogs are fine with reward based training only but some are not. Different tools for different dogs. I have seen such a big improvement with changing to a prong collar with the techniques you have shared but his off leash is really bad. He is a husky shepard so he has that pray drive with anything that is moving, he does not listen even if i had chicken or steak in my hand. Once he zones in on a person, a dog, nothing I can do to get his attention until he decides to give it to me. I have been doing reward based training only with him since day one and it has made a good foundation but I have run into a wall with effectiveness after almost a year and half. An e collar seems like one of those tools I have been misinformed on just like with a prong collar. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to see what we can do together.
SOOO HAPPY FOR YOU!! Thanks for letting me know!! Best of luck!!
ive trained my dog without the e collar with just rewards but im still gonna get an e collar for the safety of my dog
ShepHERD.... and of course food doesn't matter when in high arousal. You have to work up to it, and deal under threshold. That said, there are way, way better ecollar trainers to look to for learning about it.
My puppy is the same way! She’s a Shepsky too! 3 1/2 months and stubborn as hell!
@@K9JusticeTrue who are these other trainers?
"It's not a correction, it's a communication!" This is why this guy is the best trainer in the world!!
“This is land line dial up...and this is Wi-fi” ...and I don’t believe I will ever look at a leash the same way
Am I the only one that sees a photo of Dwight in the background? Cool video!
😹😹 he’s the greatest 👍
You changed my whole perception of e collar. I will be utilizing it on the lowest setting with my dog. She’s easily distracted regardless of the professional trainers I paid for.
We had gotten the mini educator et300 e collars for our shepherds and when we got them we received the more old school training method. Since watching your videos we have made great strides in how we use them and our shepherds are responding very well. Our female full bred (guard dog line) is quite stubborn sometimes and hasn’t quite gotten it to the same degree as our Czech shepherd but she’s progressing
Instead of using abusive bullshit learn basics about dogs that you lack
You’ll also notice I’m not making him go back into a sit after he downs. Why? Simple this a young Great Dane that really has no desire to work and I’m okay with that. They main focus in this training to help this dog understand the ecollar communication to enjoy a safe off leash life. So if he downs when I say sit, I’m okay with that with THIS dog under these circumstances!
you mentioned disobedience to commands. what happens if a dog on an e-collar doesn't listen to a command + e-collar prompt at all? (whether it be place, come, etc)
What brand of e collar do you prefer?
I was really puzzled when I saw you did not correct him. Thanks for sharing the explanation and the advice in general! It was a very useful and informative video - as always! :)
@@cwongplus4639 the dog should be trained and compliant to the commands before you introduce the collar.
Christopher Wong yes I would like to know as well
Tom-isms: Uncomfortability=discomfort, unobedient=disobedient, reluctancy=reluctance.
I appreciate your videos! I know this video is four years old now, but I just wanted to share if it helps anyone, on my mini educator, momentary is a single stimulus, and no more until you press the momentary button again. Holding it down will not produce more stimulus. Continuous is a steady series of pulses until you release the button. Also if you hold down vibrate it will pulse vibrations, but it's not a continuous vibration. Keep up the good work!
The e-collar is brilliant! I originally thought the shock collar had just been renamed.
@wowalinbie there are three settings on them, a tone, a vibration, and a low level static shock. The shock on an appropriate level is about the same as sticking your tongue on a 9 volt battery
@@stillrob97 its even less then sticking ur toungue on a 9 volt battery imo if done properly
@@sethdoeslegalmeth3162 shouldn't be any more than sticking your tongue on a 9volt anyway. They go pretty high but should be run just high enough to be felt
@@stillrob97 yah. I just bought one. And i found lvl1 is the perfect setting. I tested all the way up to 10 on my self. And I found the highest I need to go is 4 when he goes apeshit. It pisses me off people give this a bad rep. It's a very good tool if I would of got it earlier it would of been much better
@@sethdoeslegalmeth3162 i always test on myself. If im not comfortable with it on myself why would i subject my dog to that is my thinking on it
Love the way you approach and explain this. Looking into starting with an e-coillar and dread using it the wrong way.
That dog is so mellow I love it! What a beauty
Thank you so much for your videos! We just got an ecollar and I am watching as many videos as possible before I start using it. Your explanation is wonderful!
My Pyrenees/Newfie is going on 3 years old. Rescued him at 3mo from being dumped into a shelter. Seems the female who trained him was being force to give him up. She had a young son to care for & from the way the dog acted I think a male was aggressive towards him. He walked with her without a leash on, sat beside her, slightly leaning against her. She put a leash on him, told him to stay, then handed me the leash and left.
He was very clingy the first few weeks, skittish and jumpy at loud noises, hid behind me when my sons or any male was around. He didn't like yelling, but with teens playing video games, that's not always possible. He was very anxious. I gave him a safe space, took him with when I went to PetSmart. If another dog came around he would come sit beside me. I would praise him. If I was speaking to a clerk, he's wait, he'd not go toward the shelves, but was very well behaved. When I had to take him to the vet, I had him boarded so he could get a bath & grooming the next day. They said he was well behaved & wouldn't go potty till they took him out. Not even in the outdoor kennel.
Unfortunately, my knee joints were not doing well, in fact, I was having trouble walking. The pain was getting worse. Someone told me I should take him to a training camp since I was having trouble walking him. On collar/leash he would pull a lot. That was dangerous as I could easily fall, so I got a harness for him. He liked it better and improved immediately. I'd wanted to take him to puppy classes and see if he would be able to travel or go with me. I'm legally blind, but still have some sight. My mobility was getting worse and I've fallen a few times, unable to get up. I'd feel safer if I had him with me.
But I wasn't able to take him out after a few more weeks. My daughter had moved to NC so I no longer could take him out with me. I understood why he was getting a bit naughty, he wasn't being stimulated enough or walked or played with as much as he needed.
So I had both of us taken to the camp, I thought they wouldn't take him when I saw there was a 5mo min. age for entry. But the woman seemed to think he was smart. That he'd be fine. It was a 3 week camp. The woman showed me a collar with a box. I held it and it vibrated, she said that it was to get his attention when he went into alert mode. So I thought it was fine. I was anxious, but the videos she sent showed him doing really good. So when I went to get him with my daughter who was visiting, he came running up all wiggles and happy. We sat down to listen to the girl and she called him. He was sitting beside me. She called him again and he shook his head. Then she firmly called him to come again and he cried out and tried to go under my chair! I asked her what was wrong with him. She said he was resisting because I was there. She commanded him to come and he finally came out and went over to her and sat down. But the look in his eyes was heartbreaking. She calmly stated that since he's a big boy and was being stubborn that she had to go up to 33 on the collar.
Now I didn't know what that meant & I was upset because he was upset. She went over how to use the box in her hand, which I'd not paid much attention to before. She said not to lock it and turn the dial until he listened. She said to walk with him on the leash and get him to go across the room. I told him to heel and he walked with me. But when he dropped back a bit she ordered me to correct him cause he wasn't staying next to me. I pretended to do it, but I think she knew. She went to grab the leash and I refused to give it to her. I told her I'm taking my dog home now.
She handed a box to my daughter as we left and glared at us. (My daughter told me she looked pissed.)
I took the collar off at home. I put a throw blanket on my shoulder and put the collar with the box on top... I couldn't see the numbers well, but I put it on 33 and then pressed the button. The pain wasn't as shocking as the realization of what they'd been doing to my pup! When I watched the videos again, I saw the twitches, the head shakes and the frightened looks and cursed. He'd spent 3 weeks in a nightmare. I felt terrible they'd traumatized my fluffy baby.
These people should not be allowed to do this. I discovered later that a number of these franchises had been closed, fined & sued (they'd killed animals in their care or during training) - Yet I know several are still open... including the one who had my pup.
It took a few months, but no more collar. I found out it was an outdated model too, only shock. There was no vibration or beep, just shock. The buzz I'd felt was the test to see if it was powered up. My older son started to work with him, he's not familiar with the giant breeds but there is a bit of Belgian Sheepdog in our pup I found out. Plus he is very food motivated. (Just like my sons...lol) He will sit, lay down, give a paw with vocal or sign commands. Stay is still not cemented since he doesn't like me or my sons out of sight or out of reach. I was able to take him to Starbucks, inside... he stayed beside me. I even gave him his own puppachino. We went to PetSmart, Lowes and had no issues. In the van, he would look at the door, put his paw up on it by the window and then look back at me. (It meant he needed to go do his business.)
But then after all our progress, COVID happened. No going out. Then my knee/joint condition got worse to the point I couldn't walk. If I could have afforded a wheelchair or scooter I would have. But I was stuck, not able to go very far without help. The pain eventually got so bad I could hardly sleep. I got desperate. I asked for help from a friend.
Now, today after several months, thanks to an eastern medicine/treatment, herbal mixtures & enzymes I'm walking again. But my dog is now partly reactive to cars, people, animals... just about everything. Yet not all cars, not all people... most animals outside, but not our cats inside, though he likes to mess with them and lick them. (They aren't too crazy about it.)
But I'm sure the cause is that he's bored, not stimulated enough or a combination of things. Some of the people he reacts to, I'm a bit suspicious of too. Others I think he just wants to say hello to. Shoot, when the pizza guy showed up early while my fluffy giant was outside, he ran up to the guy and hugged him. Then stuck his head into the empty red case as if to say "Where's mine?" The guy laughed and said "Sorry, it's already inside." I held the collar as he walked away, appologizing for him getting jumped up on. The guy just grinned and said he had two big dogs at home.
When a medium (up to the knee size) dog came running into my yard, he went straight for my dog with teeth snapping and growling. (The kids he was with had no leash on him.) I called my older son, who came out and tok hold of our dogs collar. Telling the kids to get their dog, they just stood there as it lunged and clamped onto the neck of my fluffy boy. He was confused, he tried to pull away from the dog. My son grabbed it and held it up, tugging on it to get it to let go... it had a mouthfull of fluff, not my dog... but still wouldn't stop attacking. My son finally yanked it off and tossed it. It got up and tried to come right back. When it snapped at my son, that's when my big boy started to growl... he didn't attack, but he wasn't going to put up with that crazy dog much longer.
We got up the stairs to the porch, my older son is 6'4" and wasn't putting up with the other dog, blocking it with his booted foot. One of the larger kids finally came over and grabbed onto the smaller dog, long enough for us to get ours inside. I took him to his room while my son dealt with getting them to deal with their dog. There's a leash law for a reason. I was surprised & proud of my big fluff, he hadn't lost it - he didn't attack, only growled a warning.
Sorry for the book, but wanted to give you enough to get a picture of how things are going.
Is there any suggestions, any videos you'd recommend that would help our big boy reduce reactivity to the things bothering him. I can't wait to move out of the suburbia I'm in, and back out into the country. There's no sidewalks in our neighborhood area... no safe park, plus we're on the edge of an industrial park, it's not ideal. Plus I've no transportation to go anywhere. I'm still working on getting my stamina back, and strengthening my muscles again, so we are walking around in the side yard away from traffic. I'm positive we're both going to get better, it's just going to take time & patience. I just wish I had a way to get him the exercise, playtime her needs. The boys aren't around as much & I'm worn out to quickly. It would be nice if we had a doggy daycare nearby he could go to a few times a week.
Oh here's a couple links to my big fluffy boy photos.

the end summary should be in the beginning too. That's a good point. you never just trying to figure out a CHAINSAW or E-collar.
Hi Tom. Dogs feel lower levels then we feel as their skin is much thinner then ours. The epidermis of a dog is 3 to 5 cells thick where ours is 10 to 15 cells thick. So for us to feel what the dog does we need to triple the level for us. Very informative and used correctly I have no issues with using remote collars when required. Thank you :)
Thanks Laura!
This is the most helpful info I’ve ever gotten on e-collars. Thank you so much!!
Thank you for explaining the different modes at 09:53, super helpful!
Excellent. helped me understand the two separate personalities of my pitfalls.
You really help explain what you use and what it does for the animals..
yeah about the food. when we're outside my dog doesn't give a shit about any treats: liver, chicken, beef, you name it I've tried it. i don't want him to always wear a longline too he trips on it, it catches on things and it's not very practical. i just ordered an e collar I'm so excited to use it.
Thank you for responding to my question.
Fantastic instructional video with clear explanations, Thank you!
Have you thought of doing a book on the use of the e collar
You can counter condition behavior with food to a certain extent but sometimes food won't work. The stimulus outweighs the dogs primary need for food. So the e collar comes in handy. Great explanation
your dog for this trainning collar, you can use that for dog is very usefull. you use it to.amzn.to/2JdYyXF
You do not counter condition a behavior. You counter condition a reflex response (such as an emotional response to a stimuli).
There are 3 tresholds to think about when working with a reactive dog : the perception treshold, where the dog sees the object but doesn't respond with fear or stress signs, the aversion treshold, where the dog starts to show off fear and/or stress signs, and the reactivity treshold, where the dog emit perceptible reactivity behavior like bark, lunge or bite.
To make it simple, counter-conditionement takes place between perception and aversion. Over aversion is r-, over reactivity is flooding. If the dog is close/over reactivity treshold he won't take food obviously.
All forms of correction are aversive. You can condition what the response means but it is still technically considered aversive. Overall this was a great instructional video.
Extremely helpful! Very good simulation...Thanks a lot!
A lot of love from Israel!🇮🇱❤️
Another question, why not start with beeping? Like, Diesel place with beep and if he doesn't do it Diesel place with vibrate vibrate vibrate?
Great information! Are e collars designed to be used forever, or during a training period till dog masters behaviors?
I have a Bernese/husky I use it so he can burn all that energy he has, I don’t like him being on a leash all the time I want to run aroun in a open field. And call him back when I’m ready to go, he didn’t listen at first with my scream at him, to come back, the e collar helps, I use vibration, collar from Amazon, I haven’t had to use the shock settinga if I was you, research what e collars Tom uses that way you have other options and setting, which can help you communicate with your pet.
Is there a collar you recommend?
Great video. Thank you.
So the E-collar is designed to guide instead of correct (or punish), but how would one use it to keep the dog from doing something they shouldn't do? Like chasing a cat for instance or pulling the leash?
You have to practice impulse control with your dog to correct those problems.
What an adorable Great Dane!! He looks like my Max from childhood. 🐕 ❤️ 🐕
I have a super active and ADHD dog - a Catahoula Leopard Dog with Aussie Shep mix. Super intelligent but also very demanding. She does obey sit and come and up... but not place or leave it, etc. On walks, she'll be fine until a rabbit or other dog shows up and all hell breaks loose. Have had a trainer get us all started now for two sessions but feel that I need an a-collar ... I just now purchased a Dogtrac 200C but need to know how and when to use it. She also is not kennel trained and have been working on that - somewhat like "place"... and also she'll do #1 on our rugs - we have no carpet.
Thoughts??
Great work!!! Truly a fantastic explanation of what the e collar is and how the process is supposed to work. Thank you
Kortney White thanks so much for watching! ::)
Thank you very much,dog for this collar is good you can use it.amzn.to/2JdYyXF
You are discussing the nick and continuous features? What would you/how would you use the page feature?
Lol i couldn't help but laugh at the guy in the chair letting out a big yawn at the beginning 😂
We humans know electricity can kill.
Thats the first thing in some peoples minds when you say shock collar.
For a dog its just a tingle, pops the mind out of where its going, and back to safety. When used properly.
Your video explained it so well thank you so much
For recall would you stop the sensation when the dog turns and is running back to you or once they get to you?
Should be the moment they look at you/make eye contact with you and is walking/running back
i think you stop once he gets to you or is almost to you, but you dont hold it down you just tap it to get their attention on you
After using this tool does there come a time when you can transition away from the e collar?
your dog is so awesome! he cracks me up
Woah thanks man, I didn’t see a video before on how e collars actually work within a dogs brain and the thought process in there. I’m planning on possibly using on for my service dog in training. Good vid
Does this training cross over to the dog not needing the collar except for off-leash safety? It would be good to have him do what i ask by verbal command.
For me it dose kinda like 80% of time my husky listens to me without the ecollar
In Operant conditioning terms the collar is used as a negative punishment (removing a stimulus to remove a behavior; removing the gentle shock and removing the behavior of standing), then using positive reinforcement (good boy or a treat) to encourage a behavior (sit) once he does the good behavior.
Calvin Tran it is used in the same sense that you would pull a leash until your dog got to you when practicing recall. Or another instance in which you would use a leash as guidance
Interesting perspective but I respectfully disagree. I would say this is actually Negative Reinforcement. Removal of stimulus to promote/reinforce a behavior so that is it more likely to happen. Out of all the quadrants of Operant Conditioning, -R is probably the most difficult to explain. The best example I’ve heard is the one of comparing it to a situation we often face in our vehicles. We’ll be in the driver’s seat not wearing a seat belt, and that annoying alarm starts to go off. The alarm in this scenario is the stimulus. To make the alarm shut off, we buckle our seat belts. Buckling our seatbelts would be the behavior. So the action of buckling a seat belt to shut off an alarm, would be the removal of a stimulus to reinforce or make a behavior more likely to happen.
Lauren Gieger yes exactly. It’s not a punishment so much as an annoyance. I just recently found his videos and they have worked wonders as I have a dog that was severely abused by previous owners with the collar/leash and if he is corrected with a leash, it sends him into almost like at ptsd flashback. Having another tool to use without triggering his past experience has been extremely helpful
@@laurengieger5873 Your perspective and logic is correct. My perspective is referring to the video when he mentions the "hot lava" and it keeps the stimulus/shock on until the dog stops doing what he doesn't want him to do. Ex: he keeps the shock on until the dog sits. This is a negative punishment; removing the stimulus to stop a behavior.
Negative reinforcement not negative punishment. You are removing discomfort to positively reinforce a behaviour. However I do not agree with the way he is using the collar.
Do you have a recommendation for an e collar? I want to make sure I purchase the proper equipment. Thank in advance.
Put this bullshit to trash and learn basics about dogs that you lack
Very well explained bud
When and how do you use the beep button on this color
Thank you so much for this!! So so helpful!
This is the first video I have found that actually demonstrates e-collar use. All the other fake “reviewers” only talk about the device and never put it on a dog.
Thanks I ordered mine today
Where did you order your E collar from and what brand is it
Constructive criticism alert: Man, you need to edit this for us people on youtube. We're coming to see how to use it not to be sold on it. I am moving on to a different video now because after 3 minutes (!) I'm still waiting for directions. Also, if you're going to reference Pavlov... please do some basic research on him? Like how to say PavloVian. He was a real person.
Not Pavlovian conditioning (refers to reflexive behaviors ), it's Skinnerian operant conditioning (learned behaviors)
tom, where do you position the buzzer ? throat? side? top?
Is it possible to use the "pager" or vibrate function for training purposes?
Or should you always use very low stimulation instead?
Think about that the shock is the ultimate control, the beep or vibrate is used when the dog understands the operation of the collar, I use it in stages beep then vibrate and shock if the dog ignore the previous options the dog almost never ignore the vibrate and rarely ignores the beep.
The vibrate is MUCH more aggressive than a gentle stim..
Stimulate only, the beep is like counting to 3 with a toddler, if you want your dog to ignore you until you get to atom, use the tone or vibrate, better to just use the stim. Get a remote with 3 levels of stim, that’s way more effective than the idiotic tone and vibrate.
Low level for communication, higher levels to break distractions on demand, like another dog and he isn’t paying attention, a car, rabbit, cat, whatever. On demand 60% higher stim is way more effective to keep your dog safe from dangerous scenarios
Thank you for such a great video!
Excellent teacher. Wish you were in my area
lolol look at him sitting on his owner’s knee
There's so much information within this video. Brilliant work , sir!
Is the goal with e-collar training to ultimately get them to not need the collar?
From what I understand no. It’s kinda like a car seat belt, eventually you won’t need it and your dog will listen without it but for that moments where they don’t you have it on and ready to go to help bring them back... if that makes sense?
Basically, yes but even then you need to keep it on for safety precautions.
Are you using the vibrate settings or shock at a very low level?
The dude in the chair is hilarious. he clearly has better things to do lol
Once you use an e collar, how long does it need to be used? At what point can you remove it and have the dog understand from the training?
Usually, the close work you see here is to introduce the ecollar and train the dog to know what the stimulation means. The big advantage is that this form of communication can be used when the dog is off leash. So the goal is to be able to use the ecollar forever so that you have a remote mechanism for communication and control without a leash. Most modern trainers are NOT using the collar to train the dog then dumping it when the dog is trained, but instead are taking a trained dog and using the collar to be able to communicate and control especially when off leash.
Outstanding Video!!! Question... Do you believe that once you have practice enough with the E-Collar that eventually the dog will learn to just listen to your commands? I do understand the risk of off leash and would use it for that, especially if the dog were to chase a squirrel or cat (things dogs do). But around the home even while indoors as this video, is it possible that you just switch to voice commands ? Or would that make the dog forget what the stimulation of the E-Collar is for? Again, I'm video I have subscribed ..
What collar are you using
What type of e collar do you use? Do you suggest different ones flr large vs small dogs? What is the collar you are using on the dane?
My dog is an incessant whiner every time he is excited or anxious. If i understand you correctly, youre saying i would use the collar to communicate to him that he needs to be quiet? So, when my dog starts whining, i would tell him "quiet" and then apply stimulation until he is quiet, then cease and reward? We have exhausted all other resources trying to solve this problem and ive saved the ecollar as a last resort because im not super confident using one.. but if i did understand you correctly, i think i could do that. My other question would be, what if the dog simply says no? So if you were to recall the dog and apy stimulation, what if the dog turned to look at you and then ran away anyways? What would you do then? Slowly increase the level of stimulation until the dog starts to return? My dogs whining is so excessive it seems almost compulsive but i know he has some level lf control cuz he will quiet down, if only for a few seconds, if i yell at him.. but i hate to scold him and it doesnt produce long term results or even results i can build on. So if i cue him to be quiet, apply stimulation and he continues whining, what should i do?
We start tomorrow with our trainer. Cosmo is great on leash obedience. Great off leash unless a perceived threat (UPS, Prime, etc.). He also shows aggression (growling) toward mostly women when I’m present. He was abused by my EX sister-in-law when he was a pup. He all out HATES her. And I share his feelings toward her. He also growls when female caretaker for my brother-in-law comes over. So I’ll be working with him on leash with the e-collar. I’m thinking the pager correction. Thoughts?
Instead of using abusive bullshit learn basics about dogs that you lack
What if they step back off place? My dog regressed and plays tappy toes with the damn dog bed. She puts her feet on and off repeatedly.
We are about to start the ecollar cause the prong collar and spacial pressure does not do shit for her. She is. 120 lb English mastiff 14mo old.
Here is my question. If the dog does not comply and ignores the e collar, what do you do then?
Then put it on high level until he does what you want.
@@gagabunitsura8109 put in on your own neck and press high level
my dogs still dont understand that I am controlling the stimulation and one responds immediately and the other can go the full range and he does not respond to it at all.... Im going to give them both a break from using the collar and when I start training the "correct" way, I feel I will get better results. I was getting someone of progress with one but I was doing it WRONG! it was me, not them..... now that Im starting to understand how to use the collar the next time should be better. They do not fear the collar or the remote. It has not clicked in their brain yet what is going on.... so next time Ill try to do better with associating the remote, the collar and the commands.... my dogs are around 6 months old.... they sorta understand but both dogs responds to the vibration, the shock and the tone differently.... but again, i was doing it wrong.... so I need to take some time to get my technique down before I confuse them with the wrong sequence of stimulation..... Ill take the blame for it.... they know how to sit INSIDE but when we go outside they both usually ignore me.... I need to get their attention first....
Are you doing continuous or momentary setting
Since the e collar is primarily used just to get the dogs attention, how would the dog know what to do if its' a half mile away and gets paged? Since the dog probably can't hear you from that distance, how does the dog now what command you want him to do (i.e. "come"?)
How do you prevent dog from becoming collar wise?
Dothey have to have all of the commands down first? I can't get my dog to come or place. He checks out. He hates walking, he wants to go back towards the house and pulls me back home. I got the E collar because he got free from the leash and chased a car two days ago and almost got ran over. I am in the south and cannot come to you. Do you recommend anyone in east TX? most places here want me to drop my dog off. I want to be the one training and present with my dog. I don't want to leave hi anywhere.
Correct they must know leash pressure and have A1 heel walking just with only leash before introducing e collar. You have to recondition that e collar feeling
Ok, so I have a stubborn little yorkie....a lot of the videos I watch are bigger dogs that people do the training on. Do u think the same rules apply to the smaller stubborn dogs?? I just bought an e-collar to train him to stay in the yard and not wander over to my neighbors. I haven’t started the training with it yet. I wanted to educate myself on how to use it with him first. Btw, this is one of the best videos I’ve watched that explains how these are really supposed to be used :)
I love the e collar for the freedom it gives a dog. I’m just confused on the idea of using it after every command like sit because ideally you’re making the dog only respond with the verbal command and the vibration. When in the end it’ll only make it harder to switch off of the e collar because that’s what we want as dog owners.am I missing something?
I think what you are missing, is that he was intending to try and give them an option, when couldn't use verbal communication. So when he's too far away, he will feel the stimulation, and since he's already associated it with the command to recall. If you intended to use only verbal, that's all you'd use. This was to demonstrate how he teaches the dog the association between the verbal cue and the simulation. Or, as he was saying help the dog understand that the stimulus was coming from him. Another way to say it is that he's teaching the dog, the language of the ecollar.
@@kevinmatthews9469 bullshit. He's incredibly incompetent. This dog is highly distressed and absolutely not engaged

I have 3 boston terriers that I would love to start using this type of collar with but unsure of the best one to get for smaller dogs. What would you recommend
Where do we get the ecollar used here and doesn't the dog need to know the commands first? Otherwise they don't understand why they are getting the sensation.
Amazon (ET300 Educator) and yes. This is mainly to build reliability off leash not to teach them the command itself. Teach a command with traditional methods -> Reinforce it with the ecollar.
Dogtra is one company manufacturing reliable collars, and I’d say probably the one being used here, given that the banner on the wall has the company logon on it. Garmin, which took over Tri-Tronics is another company that makes good collars. Yes, you can get cheaper collars from other companies but you run into issues where the jump from level 3 to level 4 on the collar is so wide and high that it’s actually more like going from level 3 to level 23 instead. Cheaper manufactures also don’t give consistent results, if you have a collar set on level 3 of 7 and press the button for stimulation, you want it to give a level 3 not a level 3 one minute and a level 1 the next and a level 7 after that. You can buy a cheap nylon leash with shoddy stitching for $5 and have it fall apart after a week of use, then pay another $5 to replace it and have it fall apart again in a week, etc. etc. or you can pay $40 for a quality leather leash that is braided back onto itself and doesn’t have stitching that falls apart and it last you for the next 15 years. Yes, you pay more up front but you save in the long run. Same thing with e-collars, spend the money on a good one up front and avoid having to go through several cheaper ones that die out after a shorter time. If on the off chance you to have a problem, the bigger companies that have been doing this for a long time and are used by thousands of people and dog teams will stand behind their products whereas the cheaper one off collars being sold by a company that’s banking on mass selling will leave you hanging.
“That make sense”
Very informative video. At least now i know how to control my dog remotely. Just bought the dogtra 640c version.
Thanks so much for watchingg!
Man you are a great educator 👌✌️
They work well in the right hands. Banned over here in uk.
Only banned in wales
good lesson!
Great video. If you haven't already (I'm a little behind in watching your more recent videos) will you address choosing the best brand of E Collar?
Cityof Oaks either dogtra or e collar technology!
Thank you!
Anytime!
Any opinion on the Petfinder E collar?
Cara Carlson it’s a cheap unreliable brand
What kind of collar is this? My border collie has great basic commands and great recall unless we see a car so I need some "wifi" as you said lol. I also know how sensitive borders are so she wouldn't need maybe a 1 or 2 haha. She get embarrassed easily
I have a lab collie mix and he got so sad when I used the collar tonight... But I'm learning with this video that I used it wrong .. I feel sooo bad 🥺
My dog runs to our back fence and jumps to get the neighbors dog who is also jumping
Should I use the e collar to stop this behavior?
which ECollar do you recommend?
Mini educator
Trying to order a Herm Sprenger prong collar,but all they offer are 3.20, not the 3.0 that you suggest. Is the 3.2 OK? Thanks for your help
What brand do you recommend for e collar? Is there good and bad brands?
I'm a firm believer in the e-collar. But what if it's an equipment failure?
What if my remote or collar fails?
I think you've got some great instruction going on here, but one little thing bugs me... It's Pavlovian, with a V, not Pavlonian, named after famous Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov.
So you're pressing pressing pressing until he does what you want?
So if you said SIT and he doesn't sit, you just keep pressing until he does? Do you repeat SIT also? Or only press press press?
Tragically, e-collars are illegal to use where I live (Australia). The Aussie RSPCA also spreads extremely negative views on prong collars on its websites and completely neglects to mention any of their benefits.
Australia great👍👍👍. Learn basics about dogs that you lack
Liberal crap being spread its same here in UK
What kind of e collar do you use
Very helpful!
first thing I wanted to say is excellent description and explanation of the color thank you 😁secondly, So you have it on 4 and you said that is a good setting. then you said that tool goes up to over 100 there's so many people like myself that don't know the first thing about using one but anybody can just buy one of those and do the training all wrong and have it up to over 100🤯 why would they make the setting such a high number if it's effective on 4 ??? Having a tool with that much human control/power is what makes it hard for me because people are already abusive 2 animals and now they've been handed a tool not everybody does research & those type of people think they know everything those same type of people refuse/won't read instructions either, or ask for direction when driving😂 didn't mean to go off topic but mind blowing to me🤯I'm on the fence about whether to get one for my puppy or not expecting boundaries listening to a word I say I got her at 6 weeks old now she's 5 months and unless there's something in it for (the treat reward system I've always used) and she doesn't want to then forget it she's doing what she wants she doesn't care if I'm upset she doesn't care if she hurt if she hurts herself or she's hurting someone else she knows what Al means but still can continues to bite us and that is why I thought I'd do a little research on the e-collar before buying one because I don't know how to use it or I can't use it because it'll only make it worse I may have to find her a new home she would be an excellent work dog (no joke) she needs constant stimulation and it's starting to become destructive she rips through toys but doesn't have the teeth for heavy chewing toys because they're for adult dogs and they're too big for her mouth or just made of hard rubbers she has no interest in unless it's smeared in peanut butter, she's always hated the Kong toys she has three different sizes and it takes her second to get out whatever I put in any of those toys anyways and then she's just like okay next...😂we wanted a family dog. One thing she's always been consistent with all the things I've asked her not to do she never forgets and always goes for those things the carpet the gardens digging in these little buttons that are on her sofa I know try to keep her off the couch right it won't happen she'll just wait till we leave and yes she has a crate but I don't use it as punishment it's for when she needs some down time because if I don't do that she will never stop all day everyday
Each dog has its own 'working level' but nobody is saying that you only use the ecollar at that minimally perceptive level. When there are more stimuli in the environment you generally need to up the level some.
There are also limited occasions when you want to deliver a high stimulation- like proofing against against poisonous/venomous animals or chasing livestock. You will only have to do it once and the dog will have learned a life-saving lesson.
