E-collar training can be added to any of our Family Dog Center or Performance Dog Center courses, our our Board & Train Programs. Our 60 Day Board & Train Program will have E-Collar included in the price. You can also take our 3 lesson E-Collar specific course "Unleashed" if you are interested in E-Collar training for a dog with prior Obedience training.
Also known as a remote training collar, it’s a system that includes a Remote Transmitter and Receiver Collar with two contact points for providing stimulation to the dog. It allows you to grab the pet's attention during the training session and help them understand the difference between good and bad behavior.
The e-collar continues to generate much debate among dog owners about its effectiveness and appropriateness. But in fact, this tool is entirely safe and, when used correctly, helps to train your pup in the most humane way.
Modern-day E-Collars, electric collars, or remote collars, use TENS unit technology identical to those used by chiropractors and physical therapists. They adjust from level 1 to 100, while most dogs will never go higher than level 8. In comparison, our head trainer cannot feel the stimulation until level 11.
E-Collars are only manufactured by a few brands, our most recommended being the Mini Educator by E-Collar Technologies. Any cheap or low-cost "E-Collar" is actually a shock collar, and can cause burns and major emotional damage to your dog. Do not purchase these collars on Amazon or at a local pet store. Do not attempt E-Collar training without a professional, when used incorrectly any training tool can be misused and cause damage.
