Default RE: Training Questions

Too much pressure,you are in a rush for duck season. Just relax and take it one day at a time. Go get an e-collar, training dvd's, and a check cord.

Take that dog out, on the Check cord (cc), let him wander a little bit and say "here", squat down and open your arms to look more "friendly". Tug on the CC the whole way if you need to, when he gets to you, praise the crap out of him. The dog "wants" to be with you is the whole point of recall. Once he is pretty good with the CC, put on the e-collar (NOTE: Only after he is collar conditioned) and take the cc off, let him wander around and give the recall command, if no response... Give a "nick" or small stimulus. Dog should realize that he has no choice. The only way to turn off collar is to obey.

When that e-collar is strapped on, you will have a totally different animal.

I only have to reach for the transmitter with most of my dogs and they know whats coming next and will usually shape right up.
