I know I am asking this question prematurely but.....I have ordered the Graham and Knutson books and they will be here in the next few days. I have researched the ecollars and believe the Tri-Tronics is the way I will go. I have read the literature about Lardy ecollar training but have not yet ordered the video and manual. The question is this-and I would imagine the books will tell me but you know how it is when you are getting pumped about getting that first dog-what is the order of training-does the ecollar start right away or do the basic commands come first then introduction to the collar?
