Tips for Remote Collar Training Your Dog
Are you set to start training your family dog? You may want to think about using an electronic collar, such as the Tri Tronics G2 for example. There are many ways to train your dog and this technique can prove fast and effective when utilized properly. Whether you are concerned about eliminating bad behaviors such as jumping up and barking or you want to teach your pet commands, like how to heel, sit and stay, this remote method of dog training can lead your dog to obedience right away.
Below are some ideas for effective remote dog collar training:
1. Follow the same step-by-step process every instance that you teach your dog a new command. If your dog already knows a command he can often be quite confused when it is used in conjunction with the collar, so developing a good method from the get go can help to alleviate| that potential confusion.
2. Break the materials down into smaller tasks and keep them short. Dogs have small attention spans and they learn best when they are taught new behaviours in small steps.
3. Be consistent in your method of training and the actions that you expect from your dog.
4. Concentrate on teaching your dog one command or action at a time. He will not be able to make the connections between the collar and the command if you are too scattered with your training method.
5. If your dog gets the command right, be sure to let him know by using praise.
6. If your pet seems confused by a command, make it simple so that he can feel successful. You want these training sessions to be a good experience for both you and your beloved pet.
7. Do not have the Tri Tronics Upland G2 (or any collar for that matter) set at a level of intensity that is too high when you first start out. You will need to carefully test your dog’s sensitivity to the remote collar and you should start with it on the lowest level.
8. Ideally you will want the introduction session to take place in an area with as little distractions as possible. He will not be able to concentrate and learn easily if there is too much happening around him.
9. To teach your dog to be realiable, you will want to add in some training around distractions at a later time as this really more closely mimics real life events.
10. You will want to add those distractions gradually though as opposed to too much all at once and be sure that they are not the type of distractions that will scare your dog as this can definitely work against the training.
11. When you are training in the area of the distractions, it will most likely be necessary to set the collar at a higher level of intensity to get the results you are going for.
12. Your pet learns by repetition so you will want to repeat the commands often especially at the start of the training sessions.
After your pet has a several good task successes, be sure to include play time as a part of your training time together. Always try to keep in mind that you want this time to be fun for both you and your pet. The Tri Tronics Upland G2 EXP is a solution that takes your dog’s obedience training to a whole new level. The process of remote dog training can be quick, fun and painless to implement.
