Electronic Dog Training Collars Helps You Teach Your Dog

Labrador Retriever Blog | April 22nd, 2010

An electronic dog training collar is ideal for all dog owners wishing to train their dog including:

• professional dog trainers
• behaviorists
• veterinary practitioners
• farmers

Surveys have shown that the electronic dog training collar has resulted in the lives of many dogs being saved, as well as there has been an enormous reduction in stress and frustration for owners and dog trainers of dogs with behavior problems. The electronic dog training collar has also prevent may problematic dogs that others found un-trainable from being put to sleep. Many dogs that have been said to be un-trainable have been trained with the electronic dog training collar.

One of the main factors to take into consideration when training your dog is this. Your dog has limited ability for logical reasoning, making immediate consequences necessary for your dog to associate his punishment with his bad behavior. Late punishment will often make the dog reluctant to obey, and return to the trainer, just to be punished. The electronic dog training collar aids in eliminating this problem, and is proven effective do to the immediate consequence to the dog.

When the electronic dog training collar is used properly, it will eventually raise the dog trainer to the level of “pack leader”, and will enable the trainer to become physical with the dog less and less. The message the electronic dog training collar sends hits home for the dog very quickly and since it is possible to use low levels of stimulation, it will not damage the dog’s spirit. Most electronic dog training collars do not shock, yet a long uncomfortable tingle.

The electronic dog training collar is a great aiding tool to dog training, but should never be used as a short cut to conventional dog training. The electronic dog training collar is a training aid, and should never be used as a punishment tool. Furthermore, the electronic dog training collar is not, itself, a dog trainer. You are. It is your responsibility to ensure the electronic dog collar is used as a training aid.

Although the electronic dog training collar has proven beneficial to most dog owners and trainer who have used them, there are certain circumstances when an electronic dog training collar may not be the best method of training. You should never use an electronic dog training collar if:

• Your dog has a heart condition
• Your dog has a nervous disposition
• Your dog is less than 10 months old

Dog training with an electronic dog training collar should cease immediately if there are any signs of trauma to your dog.

3 Dog Training Commands That You Should Teach Your Dog First

Labrador Retriever Blog | March 13th, 2010

Whether you are getting a new dog or beginning to work with an old dog, obedience training is a must! There are a number of dog training commands that are important to teach your dog. What dog training commands are the most important to begin with? The three most important dog training commands are: come, wait/stay, and let’s go. These dog training commands are important for both a well mannered dog and also for safety. The three most important dog training commands:

1. Come: This command is vital and could really be a case of life or death in the event of an emergency. For this reason, come is one of the most important dog training commands to teach your dog. Your dog should be trained to understand to come to you on the first command, and although no dog is ever 100% reliable, you should work to be as reliable as possible with your dog. Come should always be trained in a positive and fun manner. Never be a kill-joy! Don’t use come only to end the dog’s fun. Instead, practice it LOTS with toys and treats and reward the dog as much as possible so that coming to you is always fun. Also, never get in the habit of chasing your dog when you need it to come. This only sets up a bad habit and makes your come very unreliable.

2. Wait/Stay: Another one of the most important dog training commands is wait or stay. Wait is about asking your dog not to cross an invisible or real boundary line until you have given it permission. Generally, it is best used when you want the dog to stay back from entry ways, such as the front door, or you want the dog to remain inside a car with an open door. Stay asks the dog to hold a particular position, like sit or down, and stay in a particular location. Teaching a good, strong stay means you know you can place your dog in a position and hopefully count on it to stay there.

3. Let’s Go: Let’s Go represents the last of the most important dog training commands because it is the phrase you give your dog on the walk. It represents for the dog a style of walking and lets him know when you are moving from one place to another. Let’s Go should be a nice, looser leash walk that is controlled. A good Let’s Go means your dog can walk reasonably well on the leash. Your dog understands this command means you are moving on, so it can be used to move the dog away from something it is currently doing. For example, if your dog is visiting another dog or person, and you are ready to move on, Let’s Go tells the dog you are leaving and to follow you. These three dog training commands represent an excellent starting point in your training. These are the most important dog training commands to begin training with and to build from.
