light stimulation by performing the command.
E-collar training is another form of negative reinforcement,
similar to the leash and standard collar training. When the
dog complies with the command, we use praise/positive
reinforcement.
The nal step is the avoidance phase in which the dog learns
that he can avoid the stimulation altogether by performing
your commands. When these training procedures are
complete, the electric collar is used as a reminder when the
dog does not comply with your commands at home or in the
eld. Keep your initial training sessions short and positive.
Dogs have a short attention span, especially young dogs.
How much stimulation to use
Always start with low levels of stimulation and work your
way up depending on the disposition of your dog and any
given situation. By using only enough stimulation to get your
point across, you will have a more controllable environment
and a dog that is under less stress. Animals
(and humans) perform better in a less stressful environment.
For more training information, please consult with a
professional dog trainer.
