Dog Training Collar ARTICLES
|
- Dog Training Collar : Dog Collars & Leads - What collar to use in training is perhaps the most controversial subject in the dog training world. There is a variety to choose from. There are flat collars, and there are choke collars made from leather, nylon, or chain. Finally, there is the pinch collar, also known as the prong or spiked collar. At first glance, it might seem that the most humane collar to use is the flat collar or one of the light choke collars.
- Dog Training Collar : The Proper Way Of Leash Training Your Puppy - Leash training should not be any problem at all. You can start by playing a simple follow-the-leader game the very first day that your puppy is home. Follow him around and tell him what a good puppy he is. As soon as he is comfortable with this little game, reverse it by getting him to follow you for a while. Call to him, teaching him his name at the same time. Do what you can to get his attention such as whistling, clapping, and praising. You may also bend down and extend your arms to get him to come to you.
- Dog Training Collar : Training Your Dog Off-Leash (Part 1) - When training your dog off-leash, remain in a protected area for at least the first month of training. Continue to work on all previous commands and all new safety commands with the regular leash, the drop line, the tab, alternating in no particular pattern. As you work, test your safety devices off leash with the fence bolted. Try the “Drop” on recall, the emergency down, the serious “Come,” “No,” and “Wait.” However, do not work your dog to death or make him into a game.
- Dog Training Collar : Training Your Dog Off-Leash (Part 2) - After months and months of training your dog off-leash in a fenced area, in the park, with the drop line, and with the tab, you have now mastered your dog and his behavior. He is well trained, better than most dogs you have ever seen. Now, after a run or a hike and after some good obedience work in the park, you are now ready to take your dog to a familiar, quiet street. Start with a heel exercise while holding onto the leash tab. Drop the tab and heel him for half a block. Before you get near the corner, stop, have him sit, then praise him.
- Dog Training Collar : Using A Drop Line and A Short Line In Off-Leash Training - Begin the work of teaching your dog to be as reliable off leash as he is when he's wearing one. Keep in mind that it will go slowly. Nothing flashy will happen right away. You'll have to be very patient. Do not take your dog off leash in an unprotected area unless both of you can truly handle that responsibility successfully.
- Dog Training Collar : How To Teach Your Puppy To “Sit-Stay” - When teaching your puppy to “Sit-Stay,” put him on leash at the beginning of the training. Find a quite area without distractions. Command your puppy to “Sit” and when he does, tell him to “Stay.” As you say the command, drop your voice at the end so that it does not sound like a question. Swing your flat open hand toward the puppy, palm facing him as if you were going to touch his nose with it. Stop short of touching him and withdraw your hand. This is the hand signal that goes with the “Stay” command. Take one step back and wait.
- Dog Training Collar : Developing Your Leadership Through Eye Contact - Every wolf pack has a leader, also referred to as the alpha figure. This wolf, sometimes a male, sometimes a female, controls many aspects of pack life, including, to a degree, defecation and urination rights and spots. Dogs, of course, are directly descended from wolves and now live in human packs. Problems arise when an individual dog, either through his genetic makeup or improper training by his owner, comes to think of himself as the leader of the pack.
