Tips for using Dogtra collars
At dogtrainingstore.com we specialize in Dogtra training collars and many other manufacturers of fine remote dog training equipment. We’re as passionate about dogs and dog training as you are. We take dog training seriously. Dogtra collars are used for problem solving (such as jumping on people, chasing cars, stealing food, avoiding snakes) or for more general training (such as obedience training or hunting dog training). Aggressive behavior is NOT a suitable candidate for electronic collars under any circumstances without a behavior specialist supervising the activity.
Many people think of a “shock collar” as a last resort, designed to punish a dog when he performs poorly. However, used properly, a Dogtra training collar can be a boon in ANY training situation. It is used to communicate, not punish. It can give a dog confidence and give you peace of mind.
Remote Dog Training should be accomplished at the lowest stimulation level that gets an attention response without causing fear or yipping pain. Your dog should look up at you when he feels the stimulation. His neck muscle might give a small twitch, but no vocalization, lowered ear set, cowering or otherwise showing fear should be apparent. Dogtra training collars have a vibration-only mode that is a wonderful candidate for positive reinforcement (reward) training. By praising the dog for a good performance simultaneously with the use of the vibration button, you can condition the dog to respond positively to your praise signal. Later in his training, when he is at a distance from you, you can use it as a recall button or a “you’re getting warmer” fine-tuning communicaiton.
