what is e-collar training?
Using an e-collar can serve as a powerful asset, provided it's utilized correctly (which means seeking guidance). It has the potential to become one of the most beneficial choices you'll make for your dog, fostering respect, precise communication, unparalleled reliability, and reinforcement of both on and off-leash commands.
However, if handled improperly, it can lead to regrettable outcomes. The e-collar functions as a tool for reinforcement and off-leash communication, intended to supplement training rather than replace it entirely.
Training should always take precedence and be prioritized as the cornerstone of achieving reliability with the e-collar. Its purpose is to strengthen commands that the dog already comprehends unequivocally but may choose to disregard.
What age should I start?
Age matters, but emotional and sexual maturity matters more for effective e-collar training. Dogs need to comprehend and handle correction stress. At Maligator Kennels, we don't start e-collar training before a dog is 6 months old, unlike some organizations. Starting too early is flawed in technique and psychology. Quality training trumps longevity in the business.
What skill level should my dog be at prior to e-collar training?
With our program, it would be appropriate to start e-collar training as your dog reaches the Junior & Senior levels of obedience. In rare cases, and with the guidance of one of our Master Trainers, some dogs might reach e-collar training as early as Sophomore level training.
We do have e-collar training for behavior problems as well, such as our Recess & Detention programs, and they are in high demand. For this to be used, the dog must meet the emotional maturity described above and it must be deemed appropriate by a trainer to use it as a tool.
Does Maligator do e-collar group classes or is it only personal training?
Our owner, a certified expert in canine psychology, recommends exclusive private e-collar training for optimal communication precision and effectiveness. Group settings may lead to inconsistent corrections due to timing errors or uncertainty in implementation, potentially confusing the dog.
Therefore, we prioritize personalized training to ensure clarity and fairness, avoiding confusion for your pet. Unlike some trainers who rush e-collar training in group classes, we focus on the dog's well-being, delivering results you'll appreciate.
