If your dog is running rings around you and you are feeling like a fool
standing in the middle of a park calling ‘Come here boy’ to no avail, you may
need to consider a remote trainer. A remote trainer, otherwise called a remote
dog training collar, is a clever device that consists of a collar and a small
remote control that you can use from a distance. In this way, there's no need to
be right next to the dog at all times to control it.
Make sure that you take off the dog's regular collar before making it wear the
remote trainer collar, in order to avoid both malfunctions and accidents. The
collar contains a small box with two small electrodes that must make contact
with your dogs skin, through his coat. On very long-haired breeds you may need
to trim the hair to achieve this.
The remote control that comes with the collar will allow you to make the collar
give different levels of correction to the dog in the form of static shocks in
order to call its attention during training.
How To Begin Training
Training your dog with the remote trainer starts just like any regular training,
but with an added correction. For example, if you have taught your dog to
associate the action of sitting with the word "sit," you can correct it with a
small static shock with the collar whenever the dog doesn't obey the command
word.
Once your dog has gotten the hang of the excercise, then it's time to try the
collar and the remote but without the leash. Should the dog choose to disobey,
you can increase the level of static while repeating the command until he obeys.
In addition, you can also use remote trainers to teach your dog a variety of
tricks or safety features, such as calling it back to you when it runs after
running cars. With time, you can forget about the leash completely when you take
your dog out for a walk.
If your dog is not obeying your commands, it's time to get a remote trainer. This collar and remote control will let you train the most unruly dog. Perhaps the most important feature of the remote trainer is it's range of level corrections, which you can adapt to your dog's temperament.
