Remote Dog Training Collars

How to train using tone and spray Remote Dog Training Collars. Condition your dog to associate tone with positive reinforcement. Start with a hungry dog and a large handful of tasty, pea-sized treats. Using the remote control, press the upper button (#1), trigger the tone and immediately give your dog a treat. Repeat this process 15-20 times. Your dog will begin to hear the tone and anticipate the reward. Keep in mind that each time the tone sounds, you're making a promise to your dog. Even if you accidentally trigger the tone, you should give your dog a treat to maintain the association between tone and reward. Positive reinforcement is the foundation of any effective training routine. Behavior that is rewarded gets repeated. Timing is everything Understand that to effectively change and/or introduce a new behavior requires patience and the consistent delivery of a clear message. Remember that proper timing is the key to success. Any use of the spray should occur as soon as your dog initiates the unwanted behavior. In order for dogs to relate either the tone or spray with a certain behavior, the tone or spray must occur within 3 seconds of the behavior. When you begin to see improvement in your dog's behavior, you can gradually raise your level of expectation. For instance, you may choose to reward your dog with your Remote Dog Training Collars only when it maintains a desired behavior for a slightly longer period of time, or responds more quickly to a command. Be sure to proceed slowly! If you do not see progress, reduce your expectations and return to the successful level for more practice. After your dog can reliably and regularly perform the behavior you desire, you may begin to vary the reward. This might mean offering toys or praise in lieu of the tone and treat. Removing the training collar Detach the collar using the quick-snap release. Remember to turn the spray device OFF when finished with the training session. Remote Dog Training Collars.
