Are you ready to start training your family puppy? You may want to consider the use of an electronic collar, such as the Tri Tronics G2 for example. There are several precedures to teach your dog and this technique can prove quick and effective when used properly. Whether you are concerned about stopping negative behaviors such as jumping up and barking or you want to teach your pet commands, like how to heel, sit and stay, this remote system of dog training can lead your dog to obedience right away.
Here are some tips for effective remote dog collar training:
1. Follow the same step-by-step process every instance that you teach your dog a new command. If your dog already knows a command he can actually be quite confused when it is used along with the collar, so developing a good system from the get go can help to alleviate| that potential confusion.
2. Break the lessons down into smaller tasks and keep them shorter. Dogs have little attention spans and they learn easiest when they are taught new behaviours in smaller steps.
3. Be consistent in your method of training and the actions that you expect from your dog.
4. Keep your focus on teaching your dog one command or action at a time. He will not be able to make the connections between the collar and the command if you are too unfocused in your training method.
5. When your dog gets the command correctly, be sure to let him know by using praise.
6. If your pet seems confused by a command, make it wasy so that he can feel successful. You want these training sessions to be a positive event for both you and your beloved pet.
7. Do not have the Tri Tronics Upland G2 (or any collar for that matter) set at a level of intensity that is too high when you first start out. You will need to carefully test your dog’s sensitivity to the remote collar and you should start with it on the lowest level.
8. Ideally you will want the introduction session to take place in an area with as little distractions as possible. He will not be able to concentrate and learn easily if there is too much happening around him.
9. To teach your dog reliability, you will want to add in some training around distractions at a later time as this really more closely mimics real life situations.
10. You will want to add those distractions gradually though as opposed to too much all at once and be sure that they are not the type of distractions that will scare your dog as this can definitely work against the training.
11. When you are training around the distractions, it will most likely be necessary to set the collar at a higher intensity level to get the results you are working to attain.
12. Your pet learns by repetition so you will want to repeat the orders often especially at the start of the training process.
Once your pet has a few good task successes, be sure to include play time as a part of your training time together. Always try to keep in mind that you want this time to be enjoyable for both you and your pet. The Tri Tronics Upland G2 EXP is a solution that takes your dog’s obedience training to a whole new level. The process of remote dog training can be quick, fun and painless to implement.
