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. This device eliminates the need
to be right next to your dog to regain control.
The dog has to wear the remote trainer collar when you want to train your dog;
of course, you should also remove the normal collar, because otherwise it'd be
uncomfortable. The collar includes in its design a small box with two electrodes
that have to be in conctact with your dog's skin. If your dog's hair is
unusually long, you might need to use your scissors to trim it a bit in order to
make sure that there's contact.
The remote that is included with the collar will let you give mild static shock
corrections to your dog while in 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 when learning to sit, you may choose
to reinforce the word ‘sit’ with a small static shock, keeping your dog on his
leash.
When you think your dog has understood the command or activity that you've been
teaching it, then it's time to try the remote without the leash. At first, the
lowest level of correction has to be used, however, since some dogs can't even
feel it, you might need to increase the level during the training.
You can also teach your dog some safety rules with the aid of the remote
trainer, for instance, by stopping your dog with a correction if it tries to run
towards a street full of cars. It also makes walking with him a more pleasant
experience as you can say goodbye to endless shouting, and look forward to a
bouncing dog, tail wagging as he returns.
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.
