If your dog is running rings around you and you are feeling like a fool standing in the middle of a park calling ‘Come here boy’ to no avail, you may need to consider a remote trainer. A humane breakthrough in dog training, a remote trainer is a package deal where you get a remote dog training collar and an owners device, which is the control unit. This simple idea allows you to train your dog from a distance, without the need to put it on a leash.

The dog wears the remote trainer collar in the same way as it wears a normal collar, you should remove the normal collar so there is nothing else to get in the way. The collar includes in its design a small box with two electrodes that have to be in conctact with your dog’s skin. If your dog has extremely long hair, you might need to cut it a bit before making it wear the collar.

The remote trainer owner unit is a small remote control that enables you to send different levels of static shock into the collar to reinforce commands should the dog break concentration and stop obeying you.

How To Begin Training

Training should commence as normal with the remote trainer. For instance, if you teach your dog with sit with the word “sit,” you might want to use the collar to give a correction when the dog doesn’t obey to the word.

When you think your dog has understood the command or activity that you’ve been teaching it, then it’s time to try the remote without the leash. You have the start with the lowest level of correction available, and increase it if your dog doesn’t obey or the stimulation is simply not enough for your dog to feel.

You can also teach your dog some safety rules with the aid of the remote trainer, for instance, by stopping your dog with a correction if it tries to run towards a street full of cars. It also makes walking with him a more pleasant experience as you can say goodbye to endless shouting, and look forward to a bouncing dog, tail wagging as he returns.
