E -Collar Training Programs " Basic through All Phases of Advanced" Training - Over 17 Years of Qualified Professional "Hands-On" E-Collar Dog Training Experience as some our previous client's Testimonials can attest to using the low-level stimulation method of dog training. This system starts by teaching the dog to understand the basic commands you plan to use. Then, utilizing the principle of escape training, the dog is taught to turn off low-level electrical stimulation by performing commands it already knows. Through repetition, the dog becomes quick at performing commands, because it learns that, not only can it turn off stimulation by performing, but can beat stimulation altogether when it performs quickly.

Harley's Story

In June of 2001, Harley was posted on a website for an animal shelter in Georgia that is a kill shelter, As they have no true means of humane animal control in the south, his picture was shown with an expiration date next to it. The expiration date was the unthinkable. A dedicated young woman that we worked with at the time made arrangements to have Harley and seven other puppies flown up from Georgia on United Airlines. All seven other puppies were placed. Many people half-heartedly claimed they would give Harley a home only to back out at the last minute.

Hello Dick,

We will continue our work and look forward to a long life of love and happiness with Chance as part of our family. Once again, Thank you so much from our hearts. We wish you, Shondo, and every family you have made better with your training the best of wishes.

We thought we would give some background on remote training collars, their origin and abilities. The remote collars we refer to today are collars that allow you to handle a remote hand held device that emits a vibration, or a mild electrical impulse much like the tens unit usedby your physical therapist. This is under your control, much like a leash is used.

This used with correct leash direction in the beginning stages helps the dog learn very quickly because his right or good behavior is marked immediately as is his wrong or incorrect behaviors are.

His comparisons are made instantly... To Read the rest of the article go to:

Dog Training

Electronic Collars

Articles The protocols are written as they are because they've been found to work after years of testing. If you're a beginner, this is very much a "read and follow the instructions carefully and closely" situation. If you're the type of person who doesn't read the instructions when you get a new toy, the Ecollar and these methods are probably not for you. If you decide to skip a step or modify the protocol you may get the desired result and you may not. You may get what appears to be a good result only to find later on, that a problem has developed because you've skipped a step. In some ways dog training is like building a house. You need a good foundation or the rest of the project will come crashing down.
