First E Collar (Remote Collar) Session with Anxious Doberman Here is an example of how I start the e collar conditioning process and show you e collar training techniques. www.pakmasters.com How to train a Doberman with e-collar.
Started this method today with my stubborn 15mo old Rottie. I noticed a change in the first 15 minutes. He's not a unicorn yet, more like a Clysdale lol. Thanks Larry!
This is so exciting; I've been dying to see you work with a dobie! They are so loving, handsome, and intelligent. By far my favorite breed. The change in his demeanor just in 16 minutes is so amazing. I would love to see more work with him. I couldn't stop smiling watching this handsome boy. Thank you for putting your work out there. You helped me understand my dog and make training fun. Her obedience has skyrocketed and she loves to learn.
This was the best example of using an E collar I've ever witnessed I've to young doberman that the previous owners spent every waking hour with Wow it's tough
I love it. It takes a lot of work. I had a Doberman and I worked with him constantly. I felt like it was my responsibility to raise a good canine citizen. He was absolutely amazing. By the time I took him to professional training, which was for me really, he was level 2 level 3. We got compliments all the time and it made me proud that I was able to do so well with him. I agree with your philosophy. You have to put in the time. It's only a joy to have a pet if you take on the responsibility of being a good owner and doing this work.
You are probably the best trainer I have seen on here this is exactly how I had to train my Doberman. She is high anxiety as well so I had to work her daily and give her jobs around the house to get her to stop whining
Just purchased an ecollar and have been watching your videos like crazy to start working with my long haired German Shepherd. Thanks so much for all of the great info! Wish I lived closer to get training sessions with you.
GSDmom B I didn’t ask for anyone’s input on the decisions I make for my dog. I’ve worked with a trainer and my dog already knows basic obedience, but I want to enhance his skills. To use an ecollar is my decision and if you don’t like the use of one, I’m not sure why you’re watching Larry’s videos. Thanks for your concern 👍🏼
I just adopted a GSD and hes about 2. He has basic obedience skills but he is aggressive towards other dogs. I purchased one of these to help calm his aggression and teach him to focus on me in order to avoid his stress. How does that make me a failed owner? The dog came to me like that.
This made me smile! You always take such care in making sure the dog knows to have fun but also to learn from the experience. Keep on doing the good work!!
Awesome videos!! I bought Larry's book have read it 3 times and just started today with my boxer on the mini educator:) so happy with our progress so far and love the energy and enthusiasm she is giving me! Thank you Larry! You are the best 👌
I just came across your content within the last week and this is by far my favorite video seeing how much you and the dog enjoy the session. Thanks for the knowledge sir.
I've watched many training videos and Although I've only seen a few of yours, I'm so pleased...they're fantastic. Your tone, the way you explain things, etc is very refreshing....especially because you seem so genuine. Thank you for posting! (Hoping I can get my two block-heads to listen by using your methods!)
Best video I've seen by far!! Thank you for sharing your method in action and helping us that struggle with trying to train our fur family. My English Bulldog also struggles with fear of everything so I may only use the beep & vibe. Again Thank you
Great great super awesome wonderful tips that will help us use the e- collar correctly. She is a 6 month old German Shepherd who went to 2 months training and we have only had her back about a week....semi struggling but this will help. Thank you . Will keep watching your videos.
This is going to be a life saver. Currently searching for my Doberman for the last 2 hours.. it’s 4 am. He just takes off whenever he feels like it and nothing can persuade him into come back.
Wish you would show how you wean him off e collar. See why to many people using the e collar as "crutch" instead of taking time for training. I don't think e collars should be on service dogs. Just my opinion. Love your training videos!
He's gone over it in several videos. You wean off the ecollar by using 4 different outcomes to a correctly performed task. 1. Is you use the ecollar and then give a reward, 2. Is you use the ecollar but don't give a reward, 3. Is you don't use the ecollar but do give a reward, 4. Is you don't use the ecollar and don't give a reward. These 4 outcomes allows the dog to learn that an ecollar stim will not come with every command, and neither will a reward.
I mean.. I keep the e-collar on regardless. As a peace of mind. She's not a service dog though. No way is it a crutch. It's honestly an extra step in training and invaluable. Not for every dog, sure. Work with the dog in front of you.
Arthur Josef Reyes check out his book mate. You can get it on amazon by hard copy or kindle. I got it myself the other day. Pretty good read even if it is only a short book
Thanks for this!! How do you play with him? And what told you you need to start right away with the e collar with the need to push him. I bet it’s having the experience I lack!😊👍🏼
Its one of the " kryptonites" of a Rotty. Ive owned two and its in their nature. Its not so much anxiety but more worrying about what will happen to YOU if he is not there to protect you. They have an huge instinct to protect the pack . My wife leaves or I leave and ours waits behind the door the whole time and looks out the window at every noise. My wifes first Rottweiler was in the back seat of her mustang back in the nineties when she got out at a junkyard and the yard dog ( mastiff) ran up and attacked her and clamped onto her bare leg. Her Rotty " Diablos " broke through the car window and grab this mastiff by the neck and choked it out. It released her then she had to pull him off the mastiff because by this time 3 angry men where coming towards him with shovels and sticks. She lost alot of blood and had to go to the hospital but her Rotty saved her life. He had never been trained before but instinctively knew she was at risk. Some times when I horse around with my wife and tickle and play slap her behind and he sees this he comes running full speed and grabs me by the arm but just enough to immobilize me and doesnt bite down. You can tell he is torn by should I bite my master or should I ignore it so he comprises and restricts me from touching her anymore.
buildthings79 This is very very very true I have two both very well trained one of them is definitely more protective of me he does not like when people walk fast up to me he will give them a warning growls If we go into big crowds he stays glued to my hip his head is always on my hip as were walking. One of our rotts we spent over $2000 training him they trained him with a E collar best thing we could ever did before we got him trained we couldn’t trust him he was killing our chickens he was running off to neighbors yards and I was worried they would’ve got him for killing their chickens thankfully we have amazing neighbors. Just stubborn and not listening. Now that he’s trained with the E collar we don’t even have to zap and we literally just put it on him and he stays behaved he listens right away to all his commands. Obviously we don’t want to shock our dog but After a year and a half of trying to train him without one trying all these different methods we pretty much had no choice especially because he had such a strong prey drive. Our other Rott We got lucky with we didn’t need to train him with the E collar he listens right away I definitely think he sees our other Rott As alpha and he watches him all the time and me and watches for my commands and his commands and he listens to us right away. I definitely suggest hand feeding them at first because they need to understand who is in charge. If they don’t have confidence in you to give strong guidance they don’t have confidence in themselves
So glad I found your channel! Do you prefer the Mini Educator ET-300, or do you use other models like the EZ Educator EZ900 depending on the circumstances or dog?
Yes, sadly the tool got banned here in Germany but that is because people use it wrong and people i guess are worried for the dogs. If you had to take several classes with a pro like you to be allowed to train your dog with tools like the e-collar then i think it would be different.
He is a doberman, suffering when he doesn't have a job and is unclear on what to do. Question why did you drop your big reward in the end on the ground and didn't give him yourself?
Time in between Mark and reward is most important not where the reward comes from. The toss to the ground helps break the dogs focus on his sons ball out front.
You should not be putting an e-collar on an 11 week old puppy. Puppies naturally bite. It’s all part of being a puppy and learning. Don’t use an e-collar at such a young age, it’s cruel and pointless. You will just mess your dog up.
He marks by rewarding, by saying "Yes" and then feeding. He's teaching the dog how to "turn off" the stim himself. Example as a dog: when I come the stim stops. When I lay down FAST I stop the stim faster. Make the dog think he is stopping the stim with the behavior offered/given. Teach the dog to turn off the pressure. Add a word with it and the dog associates the word. Say the command word before or as dog responds to stim if the dog is quick. Stim applied, command "come", dog turns and begins to come, Stim stops, MARK the behavior with reward.
I've done puppy and basic dog training and we established a foundation. but when I walk my dog in public she barks at everyone and I've tried to have her look at me while she's going nuts, but she becomes so fixated I can't break her concentration. I hope this will help us
Except for the name of the dog, that was my dog! I am with my Doberman, Jax, 24/7. If it took him to Larry, Jax would suffer from separation anxiety big time! This is such a useful video for me. One question about e-collars in general. I have looked at some that have three phases: a sound, a vibration, and a stimulus. It appears that Larry is using a two-phase collar. Is there any reason not to use a three-phase collar? The one I am looking at has a separate button for each phase. So, you could use any phase exclusively or in combination with another phase.
@@evelynwest3504 Long story. The short of it is my dog, Jax, (who is no longer with us due to bone cancer 😢) responded much better with a positive, love-based approach. Jax did not respond well with the e-collar. Much of that might very well have been my fault. I may have not learned the proper way to use the collar. I did end up buying the collar that Larry recommends. If I would have stuck with it, it may have worked. But, in the end, Jax became very dependable off-leash and was strongly devoted to me. I have had five Dobermans now and each responded to a different manner of training. I now have a fawn Doberman male who is just the sweetest dog I've ever owned. But, he responds to the tone of my voice! An e-collar would be way too much for him.
I have a 1.5 yr female german shepherd. She's anxious and nervous in stores/indoor environments, despite living indoors and frequently coming with me to stores since she was 8 weeks. Would this process help her to relax and gain confidence if I did it in these environments?
He meant by the word "Yes" that he keeps saying right when the dog comes to him. So a word that marks the good behavior. Most people do good boy or YES!. So yes would mean the dog did good and would get a reward :) Well that's the gist of it.
I adopted a 2 yr. old Corgi mix. Sweetest dog ever around me, but acts aggressively around other people and dogs. He has bitten twice and I've only had him a month. I have a trainer coming, but he is not responding to reward training. Do you think this will help at all? I'm almost to the point of taking him back to the shelter. I'm disabled and I have a hard time handling him. I'm pretty sure the aggression is fear, but I've already had a warning from my apartment manager. I'll try anything at this point. I really don't want to give up on him. Please help!
Not hating ... just curious - why start with the ecollar? Why not start without it to see if he just needed proper training with a proper alpha handler?
How can I apply this to a deaf dog? She is trained very well and is compliant 80% of the time. The issue is getting her to check in from a distance. sure I can get her to check in at home Depot, tractor supply and in parking lots with people and other animals. However give her an acre and when it time to come she will play catch me if you can, will avoid looking at me. ( This is short-lasting as she's 130 lb dog). However for her safety I would like her to stop avoiding me. The other situation is wanting her to stop running in the house without sending or to her place. I would like her to just stop running in the house and continue to enjoy her time without sending her to her place.
handsignals and treats. When I go out with my 3 doggies I have only to stretch my arm and wink with my hand: come. And they are not deaf.....They know that after, something nice happens: going out + a treat. First try it at home for a week. Running in the house: when she runs put your hand up with the palm in front: stop: and give her a treat that she very much likes. When my dogs are free in the field I only have to raise my arm and acting like a windmill (because that is a movement they notice much earlier) and they come immediately. All 3. When it's almost time to go out and I stand up, they also stand up. But then I raise my hand with the palm in front (means no, stop!) and they go back where they were.
i dont mean to undermine you, but my dog can do this too if he knows i have treats, and there isnt any dogs or ppl around...how do u train with distraction? especially considering u dont have readily available access to distraction, as in i cant just ask strangers and their dogs to help me train lol
After an hour of e collar training seperated over months using larrys methods, dog will come to me every time (dont even put collar on) let him off leash with neighbors aggressive dogs. Comes to me everytime when called
@@pixperformance21 i think that really depends on the interactions between the dogs tho, neighbors dog might be aggressive, but ur dog might not react to it, some small dogs can bark all day at my dog, and my dog wouldnt bat an eye...but some dogs give off a scent that triggers my dog, and he will go charging at him when we're just 20 feet away...thats the kinda distraction im talking, where the dog is already laser focused on it...either wants to fight them, or hump them cuz its a female in heat. then what?
Ur right my dog has a good temperament w/ most dogs. Dont have the answer for that unless I seen it myself, but maybe prevent it before happening by training 'leave it' at home then a park? Dog shouldnt be allowed to go after another dog like that. I do know that Larry has used e collar corrections for dogs doing that
@@pixperformance21 well i been trying to train that with ecollar as well, so far, with exception of a few dogs that either is too much for my dog to handle, or i didnt know he would react and i was too late to stop him, most other dogs are ok, like if i knew my dog and this dog would fight, or if i see early signs of potential attack before the fight happens, then i can get my dog to sit in place, watch the other dog just walk by while barking, my dog will have the fur on his back spiking up, sometimes bark too, but most of the time he'll just sit and stare him down, but thats ofc with me right by his side tho, and even then, sometimes it takes a zap or two, but if im like 30 feet away, i see him stare at other dogs, and his body freezes up, which usually indicates hes not feeling friendly, then if i tell him to sit or come, it doesnt really work...
i need help with mine i use an ecollar for my aussie border collie mix who is very anxious and hyper and gets very whiny and vocal and when i walk him with my gf he gets very hyper and whines and barks when she is in front of us and when i correct him using the ecollar even at the lowest level he does this high pitch bark like he is hurting should i just continue to go up a level until he stops whining?
Ok I have the best life hack ever with a shock collar 1. Remove from dog 2. Put collar on 3. Run a bath 4. Get in 5. Turn onto highest setting 6. Activate Good job following the instructions you should get exactly what you deserve for hurting a dog
An E-Collar isn’t the same as a shock collar. It uses the same electrical stimulation a TENS unit provides. A TENS unit can be painful on height levels and cause a shocking sensation, it’s the same it’s an E-Collar. But, that’s not the way it’s regularly used. If it was a life threatening situation, the vibrate mode some E-Collars have can be more aversive than higher stimulation to most dogs.
Not gonna lie you rub me the wrong way you hit the botton way to meny times especially when he was listening and ill be you didn't let him actually play at the end
I can't stand dogs with show cropped ears it looks so fucking stupid and hardly serves a point I mean if you're going to crop them battle or short crop them because then it doesn't look retarded and it also serves a purpose
Yo Larry nice vid but u r training a big dog to jump on u or his owner or kids... I wouldn’t reward a behavior u will have to correct. Just saying. Keep up the good work.
The only behavior he rewarded was the nudge of treat bag. For now he is building a relationship. Don't want to ruin that with a "correction" on an anxious dog, will have to do more work to fix the relationship later on.
@@horsepastetosy2587 I have a 135lb Rottweiler who is very well trained, and guess what - I didn't have to use a prong collar or give him shocks. It is cruel. If you can't train a dog with positive reinforcement - You shouldn't have a dog full stop.
dylan vasey You wildly uneducated on ecollars. Shock is a last resort. The beeping and vibration is what is typically used. And he's using beeping here
Things are banned cause people don't know how to use it.. Think about it, it's the same with guns. Guns don't kill people. People kill people lol. Train people not dogs haha!
personally i hate using e collars because i feel it is torture to the dog or dogs but from a personal veiw i would like to know how and why you use them on a regular basis
