Conditioning a German Shepherd puppy to the e-collar / electronic remote collar / first lesson 

You deserve it buddy,

Larry Krohn I second that. I love your other e collar video where you give credit to Michael Ellis. Legend and the trainer I most admire. You learned from the best.

Cocoa Man not only that but he have he’s comment section open for comments which I find hard to understand with other trainers but yeah

The science behind e collars

Elizabeth Becker I hope the collar comes with an in-depth video. Look it up on RU-vid and Google

Max Shikhman You want to find out what their methods are. Maybe they have a video to give you the best idea of how they work with a dog. Good luck! How is your dog doing now?

Hi Larry, Michigan Dog Training is the name of the facility and they use very similar methods as you are - taking their time, reward based. Once the dog know command they introduced her to ecollar. Ava’s working level is 14 with no distractions and 16 in the park. We’re teaching place command, and they refuse to put ecollar on her to get her to absolutely know the command first. I think you would approve! Also would love for you to do a video or your opinion on young dogs doing obedience training and then separately working Schutzhund - drive, bite work. Conflicting? Complementary? Good idea, bad idea? Would love your feedback!

TheZakkmylde Most likely you aren’t making good contact or the environment has too many distractions. Best to start this on pavement also since grass has tons of smells that can distract the dog

Hailey Service Dog A choke chain collar is a good tool, starting out, until your dog is trained. Never yank them unless unless its the only control you have in a dangerous situation. (Charging a person or another animal) If you use an ecollar, be sure you know exactly when to give the vibration as a distraction from unwanted behavior. The choke chain collar is NOT for choking the dog, rather to give a small, quick yank so the chain makes noise to distract them from walking ahead of you, or any time they need to be distracted from what they are doing. Watch lots of these training videos & CesarMilanDogWhisperer videos on walking your dog. Training for most thing is using the same method, a quick distraction and show the behavior you want. While heeling, the dogs shoulder should be next to or behind your leg. Be VERY patient. When the dog walks ahead of you, stop and wait (or) change direction, walking back the direction you came. The dog wants to move forward for new adventure so he learns quickly to heel. Never train when you feel the least bit upset. Take a deep breath, calm yourself completely or walk away until you are ready. Work with your dog in 15-20 minute increments so you keep the dogs attention. First thing to teach is "come" by using a 15' leash or rope, giving a healthy treat, like small piece of turkey jerkey. Always work with your dog in a happy, positive way. Watch video and immediately work with your dog. Next day, repeat.

banmuff Larry did clarify in the video or some of his videos that he turns the sound on so viewers can hear exactly when he uses it. He ALWAYS starts on "1" which is the lowest vibration. He goes to "2" if there was not a "subtle" response from the dog. The small vibration is to distract the dog from what it's doing so it does what you tell it to do.

banmuff He is using sound & starting with the lowest vibration & then lowest vibration until he sees a "subtle" movement from the dog, showing that it feels the vibration.

banmuff It's extremely important that the e collar is used the proper way or you will confuse your dog. GSD's are VERY sensitive. Watch a lot of videos until you are really confident you know how to use it properly.

Nevermind i found your why video haha

Minis have an emergency button, if you have it on continuous and press the red buttons it goes 5 above the level its on but you can set it to go as high as you want, mines on a 14 rn.

dog trainer on wheels Try a lower settings perhaps?

dog trainer on wheels What setting did you use? Never let the dog see that you are using the control. Start by using "1" and if no subtle response, use "2" and so on, just like he described. It is extremely important to use this tool properly. If you don't feel you can grasp it, do NOT use it. You need to always be positive and work the dog only in 15-20 minute increments. Give a treat as soon as the dog "begins to do the correct behavior.

The ball isn't motivation. Your dog is high prey drive. He rather chase and hunt vs eating treats handed to him. He'll be motivated by work. With plenty of exercise, your dog will listen to you better. A tired dog with high prey drive will listen much better than a dog with a ton of unused energy and high prey drive. I have 2 large dogs. One is a GSD puppy, he's motivated by treats, and I have a rottie pit mix. The rottie has a much much much higher prey drive, he'd kill anything without a second thought. He likes to herd, chase, tackle, etc. The shepherd not so much. A ball doesn't interest him. With these 2 dogs I have to train them differently. Although the Rottie is not exactly motivated by the ball, he's motivated by working. In order for him to work, he obviously needs the ball. I make him run through every command he's trained to perform before throwing the ball. The shepherd just needs the treat. I hope this all makes sense.

Connor Lipke thank you so much for the response it really makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the info .

CLBerts pretty quickly. We use food a lot to teach a new behavior but quickly start to spread out the reward further and further

Jeff Morie he's using the mini educator 300 series it is an awesome e collar I would recommend it to anyone I spent the money and it is well worth it

reine melnick The soundbox isn't for the dog. It's mainly for trainers. It allows them to show clients and viewers when the ecollar is being used.

Muffin Top. Its when you’re asking the dog to return to you, the handler. Saying “come” “here” etc

Grand Champion Bella when he said he doesn’t train with the e collar what he meant is that he doesn’t use the e collar to teach (ie train) the commands. The dogs already know and obeys the commands he wants to use before he moves to the e collar. Here he is simply conditioning the dog to the feeling of the collar and starting to pair the stimulus with commands that the dog had already been “trained” to understand. The dog should be conditioned to know what the e collar sensations means before going off leash with it.

gotta find their motivation, then have that on you when you recall. practice the recall on your walks when they are distracted, give reward every time they come. do this ~200 times then start with e collar training.

Kevin Krøyer So sorry for your troubles and even more sorry for the dogs, especially those that are most discriminated against. Maybe you don't want to move... So this is your big chance to work towards making changes, no matter how long it takes. Watch as many training videos as possible. RU-vid//DogWhisperer Cesar Milan shows how to quickly & efficiently teach in a positive loving way. Be firm, shoulders high, confident, consistent Leader of the Pack. You can do it. I'd love updates and would love to be your mentor!

America f*** yeah. I’m sorry for your troubles dude. But I can’t see any way to get around those laws but moving to another country.

Shirley mauer lentini Yeah, 3 months is too young. The youngest a pup can use an e collar is 6 months old at the very earliest. You can fix your problem by not allowing anyone to meet your puppy unless your puppy is calm and sitting. Until then tell people they cannot pet her and use leash pressure and your voice to let your dog know that being hyper is wrong and listening to you is right. There are training leashes and collars to disrupt/"snap her out of" her crazy behavior and you can ask for her attention while stationary or in motion and reward her with lots of praise or food or a toy. Until then, you should mostly rely on positive reinforcement training and building your bond with your puppy and few leash corrections to get her attention if needed.

Think e collars are that bad? Look up Michael Ellis and I'll let the rest speak for itself. The man has legendary Malinois.

sind die wirklich verboten? kann man doch online kaufen z.b. bei elektro-halsbanderPUNKTde

@@HailLuzifer eine Bong und andere Dinge Growzelt, Papers sind auch frei verkäuflich und kiffen ist trotzdem illegal. Sie können sich ja informieren sie müssen nur (Deutschland Teletak) eingeben :) LG

@@HailLuzifer Wird sogar mit bis zu 25.000 Euro Bußgeld geahndet wenn man erwischt wird.

@@supremosyndikat8488 oh, das ist ja richtig scheisse. gut zu wissen. werde es wohl trotzdem machen, aber mich damit aus der Öffentlichkeit fernhalten ;)

@@HailLuzifer Wichtig ist einfach der richtige Umgang damit bringt nichts ein Elektrisches Halsband anzuziehen und Knöpfe zu drücken so funktioniert das ganze nicht 👍 Und was bringt es dann wenn sie damit nicht in die Öffentlichkeit gehen? Das Training eines Hundes muss sich in realen Situationen abspielen! Weil ein Hund z. B Zuhause hört, hat das nichts über das Verhalten draußen oder in ungewohnten Situationen zu bedeuten! Man muss das Tier in den verschiedensten Situationen konditionieren!

then dont use one, easy!
