An honest ecollar (e-collar, electric, or shock collar) demonstration and discussion

Описание: In this clip, a mid - high/power Dogtra remote training ecollar ( also known as electric or shock collar ) is worn by the trainer in order to demonstrate exactly what an e-collar does. We only use ecollars for low level electric stimulation during training, (higher levels are reserved for intentional negative association formation where life is threatened or welfare significantly compromised) using the lower settings designed to redirect the dogs attention from a potentially harmful behaviour, back on to a known ( taught and understood ) alternative. The collar is used 'IF' and only 'if' it is deemed necessary, but generally very infrequently. If you find that you are using an ecollar for every recall or every negative behaviour, then your training plan is wrong. Do NOT rely on an e-collar as a magic wand - It is not. Reward should outweigh correction MASSIVELY. We accept that with behaviour modification, a collar tap may be necessary in order to facilitate the opportunity to reward an incompatible alternative, but we do not endorse the routine use of stimulation levels higher than stipulated in this clip unless life or immediate safety is reliant upon such intervention. We strongly advise that you ALWAYS seek professional advice before using remote training collars and we are happy (where practicable) to advise if it assists in enhancing the welfare of your dog and improving the relationship you share. Although they are wearing e collars, all of my dogs have undergone an initial conditioning process involving reward. The e-collar is introduced to take the behaviour beyond the level achievable through reward alone, to a far greater degree of proficiency and reliability.
