Correcting unwanted behaviors with the e collar / remote collar

www.pakmasters.com
Many dog owners and dog trainers are confused by what unwanted behaviors should and can be corrected with the E collar or remote collar. Here is a breakdown. Voluntary unwanted behaviors verse mind set involuntary behaviors

[@johnbenoit6133]

I just want to thank you. for your time in helping people learn how to train your dog. I have had great time training my dog just with your commands and the 20 ft leash. I’m excited to add the e collar in the next few days. You have been a blessing with simple and easy explanation on training the proper way. Ty I’m excited about where me and my dogs relationship and behavior is going. I love my dog and you have helped me and him become better

[@SportsRx]

“Correct what’s upstairs” wonderfully put, Larry.

[@mickeylynn6398]

I love this guy!! I like the way he thinks!! The way he explains!! His analogies!! His dogs!! His adorable kids!! His family vibe!! And how he loves dogs!!! And kinda how you can tell he’s slightly tired of education…. But because he wants dogs n people to strive to be better he continues to give his knowledge!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I watch you 95% of the time for myself and my husky Abigail!! Thank you again from us!!

[@cataleyadiazdelbosque3685]

I’m going to have to watch your vids over and start over. I have a mini aussie that I adopted that has been lashing out at people every since I was pregnant. I need this!!!

[@michellevanburen9972]

I've seen a ton of these videos and this one was fantastic. Your use of the strong man contest analogy was very effective. Thanks for what you do and keep up the hard work.

[@samanthafoley5901]

Thank you so much. Just opened my e collar I can’t wait to build back trust with my beagle and help him develop a better mindset!

[@LauraHopkinsCDL]

Well said Larry. I spent weeks getting her slowly use to the remote collar before ever correcting her. I agree that getting rid of leash/lead to soon is a big mistake. I do think many people misuse remote collars though,usually really cheap ones.

[@salviadorrii]

Wow talking right to me. I tried and failed in the exact way you described . Grateful for the info and insight so I can do better.

[@harleyshin]

Genius trainer. Love your work

[@billelston677]

You are absolutely the best! Thanks so much for the great videos.

[@natasha83196]

New subbie. I’ve been studying your technique to use on my 18 mos old GSD. We’ve had more than one conversation about rehoming him but you’ve given me hope and a plan. Thank you for all the useful information you share.

[@Robbie28]

GSD's can be hard headed, but if you work with him, he will be one of the best dogs you will ever have. When ours hit 2 years old, its like a switch flipped. He mellowed out and was so much easier to work with and he lived to make us happy. We lost him a little over a year ago and I still miss him alot. He is the reason i really want another shepherd

[@ABCdogtraining802]

Hows the GSD DOING??

[@WhatsForDin]

I love your information. I have a 11 month Male old Golden Retriever. He’s not fixed, and he tries to hump all other dogs. Is using the ecollar to correct this behavior okay? I feel he is trying to establish dominance

[@margaretmeaker2830]

Larry... thanks for great video again ..just a question-when do u know that your dog totally understands the language.. what do you measure/observe etc.. I have some physical issues that i need to resolve but i need to get my timing right..and that is only to "correct " him when he totally understands the A B C's Thanks for ur time etc.....

Would you think it would be okay using an E Collar on a dog marking territory ? I do have other dogs and I adopted a dashound and he is neutered so I’m just at a complete lost as to what to do with him marking

[@lawabidingcitizen5032]

What is the best video you recommend to get my dog to understand what the ecollar is so I can teach 1 year old black lab female to stop mouthing and jumping.

[@marissarenee4123]

My main issues with my 1 year old lab pit mix is jumping on me , jumping on the counter/stove and the occasional barking at me or from his crate. Is the e collar gonna help with that? I see so many videos that are talking about being off leash and recall. My dog is never gonna be off the leash we don’t have a yard and live in a city. I mostly just wanna stop the jumping and barking. Thanks!

[@dayknowltonjr]

Did you get a copy of the video of that fight. I want to see that!!!

[@christywalker1231]

Have you or could you do a video on nuisance barking? We know it’s not about him needing to potty or eat. Our puppy is a Golden Retriever. And we walk him and play with him often. We have tried to have him in the room with us and he barks so loudly, even at 8 months old so we end up having to put him in playpen a few rooms away.

[@JunkyardTailgate]

Just came across your channel and live in Western KY. I am adopting a 1 year old blood hound soon. Have you ever trained one?

[@johnellison1072]

Good evening Larry I bought that Same collar (mini educator) that you use I recently have rescued/confiscated a dog from some terrible owners the dog is one years old it’s a half St. Bernard half boxer mix it’s a female and I’m just curious as far as say you put this dog in his crate and it chews up it’s bad I’m just curious on how you would go about correcting that and again I think you’re a phenomenal dog trainer and what you’re doing and teaching people is priceless I appreciate your feedback.

[@giorgioregni2639]

Does anyone has the link to the video he's mentioning with the aggressive pitbull?

[@donaldfilicetti1640]

Any ideas about how to deal with a dog who’s triggered to bark and scratch at the door when the bell rings or the Mail is delivered. I have the mini educator from a trainer a few years ago. I’m unsure of how to use it or not to change his mindset from being aggressive towards deliveries or anyone just ringing the bell or coming to the door. Any videos that might be helpful? Advice? I’m in NJ.

[@marshamcclellan9374]

Larry, I have a 4 month old puppy who keeps biting me. She will come up behind me and bite my leg, greets me with a hard bite on the hand or arm. My arms are bloody and bruised. I realize she is teething but I can’t take much more. Putting her in time out, a cage, hasn’t worked. She knows sit, stay, come, and kisses so she isn’t dumb. She gets a lot of exercise. Will the collar help?

[@theLigerinha]

I just got a Ecollar and he has been doing good so far I can say he was biting us not making us bleed but biting very hard so Iam living it on not taking it off ..he is very stubborn as well the biting jumping and barking we are working on it..

[@AndresCalv]

What do you mean keep on the leash if he’s biting us or digging have him on a leash??

[@NinoTheCorso]

How can you tell the difference between dog blowing you off vs not understanding the stim?

[@foxtailadventures]

Hi I really enjoy your vids. I have learned so much over two years working with our two doodles with the e collar. We have put in a extreme amount of work rasing two well behaved dogs. I have one issue with one of them and no matter how much I work with him I can't seem to get him to stop. When he sees another dog he whines so loudly and consistently to get to the dog only to play not out of aggression at all, but it causes a huge scene and of course get the other owners well behaved dog acting up as well. Nothing pulls him put of it when he starts. Would using the e collar the moment he starts the behavior to shut this down be a good idea? I understand his excitement but would love to stop the big squeeling scene before he has a chance to Amp up? I'd really appreciate your feedback on this.

[@julianhaylock9843]

Appreciate the knowledge. When you say once the dog is conditioned to the e collar then you can break behaviors do you mean conditioned for any behavior such as recall or heel? Or do you restart the process of overlaying leash pressure, then e collar then use as punishment to that specific habit you’re trying to break? Im trying to think of ways you layer in leash pressure to habits and its not making sense to me

[@karenbishop5885]

So how did you get the tough guy to put on the shock collar. Just asking.....

[@andyflom6492]

What if your dog dosnt do the bad behavior on the leash my dog is good on a leash but when hes off he chases people walking past my house

[@janetmcnutt4994]

Could I use an e collar to stop my dog from eating his poop. I see him out in the yard eating but can't get to him in time to stop him. I clean the yard all the time but I can't stop him is he turns around and eats it.

[@lovingjesus5184]

I have a very determined Dachshund and have had him for eight years. I use a citronella bark collar on him which is very effective. I don't even need to turn it on anymore however when I take it off of course he barks. Now when I put on the e-collar he feels like his bark collars on so he walks around with his head down waiting for me to remove it. Is there a way that I can retrain him with the e-collar so that when he's wearing it he doesn't feel like he's being punished you might say?

[@jenmdawg]

Thank you.

[@colenelson9298]

What if your dog seldomly has these behaviors while on leash? I have a very mouthie 7 month old dog. As soon as he his off leash he goes straight to my kids ankles and he’s about 70 pounds.

Can this help digging??

Good choice of music.

[@rachellhayes1053]

Does anyone have a link to Keezy's (spelling is probably wrong) training? The human aggressive dog. I am having a trouble finding the videos (i think there's three??) but Larry seems to mention that dog a lot. I would love to be more in the loop as it sounds like a fascinating journey. Also, thank you so much for your videos, Larry. They are amazing and SO informative. I would say I have a rather intermediate knowledge of dog training (I have competed and trained professionally but I am far from an expert), but I've only ever used R+. Thank you for opening my eyes. I was raised that e-collar and other tools are evil and inhumane. I've watched about 30% of your videos so far, but you've completely changed my mind. It matters who is holding it and how they use it. It is not abuse when it is being done correctly. Thank you for showing me the light!!!!

[@sandypandabear21]

I don’t see a response from the trainer here... did you ever get it figured out? I’m in the same exact boat...trying diligently to correct this gross behavior for 4 months!! I just received my ecollar but I’m not sure how to implement it to stop the behavior! Any help would be much appreciated!

[@justagirlandherdogs615]

I believe you can help guide them and understand with the e collar for nervous dogs. I use low level barley correction to help him disengages from loading or snaps them out of anxious behavior. Not lightning them up but a few levels over working level to help them disengage

[@johncal9403]

I’m a little confused. I know we don’t want to use the e collar on an aggressive dog while acting out. But what about a leash reactive dog who barks at other dogs like crazy but isn’t aggressive. I thought I remember you saying to use the e collar in these situations, am I correct with this? I’m not sure if this counts as physical behavior as you talk about or is it something that the dog can’t control and thus an e collar correction wouldn’t be advised. Thanks for any help.

[@electric1609]

Also curious about this one. My dog gets the language. I correct early signs of arousal and fixation before they become an explosion but if I get caught by surprise and fail at preventing my dog from exploding, should I attempt to correct the explosion to snap him back to reality or not?

How do you fix mindset aggression? Our 75lbs GS, female, has aggression towards strangers and animals except our two cats and certain family members.

[@UR2Compliant]

Did you ever get a response from this guy or anyone else for that matter?

[@shabak9]

I would try redirection exercises with moderate pressure on leash. Start from a distance of people or animals that your dog reacts to and get closer slowly whilst still using redirection and praise every time the dog looks back and works with you. Soon they become desensitised to it. But slowly does it.

Hey I have a 6 month old very stubborn Rottweiler her names cookie and could you give me any tips on training her on commands like come here she knows sit but as I said she is very stubborn I recently ordered a e collar to try to teach her better she nips a lot and I’m kind of worried she will nip my 1 year old son or wife.

[@Ayrin3110]

If we're talking about a fearful dog that displays avoidance. Do you start introducing the collar as usual or is it introduced in a situation that causes him fear (so that to create confusion and change the mindset)?

[@inuchan74]

Not in a situation of fear,it will just cause the dog to be afraid of the collar.

[@hettyyelland4879]

I have a chow chow that is starting to act "agressive" at the dog park. I think he is nipping dogs on the butt and growling to try and herd the other dogs. He loves to chase and be chased at sprinting speed. I don't think it is aggression, but it looks that way. Is that something I could use an e-collar for?

[@leesimoes9504]

Great video! I have a Siberian Husky who is one year old. I adopted him 2 weeks ago. One of the behaviors I need help correcting is his food guarding. If my son or I get near him when he is eating or chewing a bone he snarls and bites. We had him in the car one time at a drive thru and as soon as the food came he snarled and snapped... can I use the ecollar to correct this behavior or would you recommend something else?? I really need help with this. Thank you and I hope I can get some suggestions.

[@estebancamachomartinez724]

Hi, I hope its not too late for you and your husky, but I basically what I did with my dog, as soon as we got get at 7 weeks old, was teach her, who owned the food, who owned the bowl and make her understand that anyone could take it away if they pleased, the food didnt belong to her, we just "handed it" to her. How did we do that? really simple, we made her sit in front of us, eye contact and us holding the bowl full of food. Full eye contact for at least 2 or 3 minutes and then we lowered the bowl. Then, a command for her to eat the food because the simple act of putting down the bowl as not a "ok" to eat. We did this for 1 month and she got it. But then, she developed a bit of food aggression/possession, in which while she was eating, we would be petting her and as soon as our hand came near the bowl, she would growl. IMMEDIATE correction with a loud and assertive NO, then removed the food bowl and repeat process as mentioned above. She did this with me 3 times and 2 times with my wife, then never again did it. it is just a matter of being persistent and consistent. Hope it helps, If you have questions let me know!

[@brookeamber8148]

My husky still does this. I’ve learned to just live w it. I’ve tried w everything with her. She also resource guards bones and toys. When she’s eating food or a bone I taught my kids don’t go near her. I can but she won’t let anyone else…. It’s hard.

[@suepeterson4558]

Be out of sight and catch them in the act. A short blast on the upper end of e collar will do the trick. Only takes once, usually, if you give them enough.

[@jlynn77]

we have a 7 month old Weimaraner she is a very well behaved dog, until a stranger comes by, or if she is outside without leash she tends to run to a neighbor. I want to try to work on jumping on people and leash training. She knows commands, she just doesn't always choose to listen. She gets overly excited. We are getting an e collar to try it out, but we are confused on how to apply it to her training without frightening her. Thanks for you video series!

[@TeslaNick2]

Your puppy is still young and will jump up and stuff. No need to correct just yet. Stick at the training until the dog's at least 18 months old, then you can start correcting.

[@robertkezer3665]

I use the e-collar on human aggressive dogs. Some are severly aggressive. I do not shock them. I give them maybe 2 - 3 seconds to meet someone and then on a very light stim, just to get their attention, I tap and they turn to me and we off we go. They get treats to. Takes awhile but it is just one of the things that work in the protocol.

[@youtubespy9473]

I’m so confused, I have listened to all your tots and they are helpful but I still don’t know how I am supposed to tell my dog “no”.....and the point,I’m gonna read an article, I’m better at reading then listening, ADHD.....

[@jackmueth5952]

So when that German shepherd who got shot was about to blow up at you on the place board, and you told the owner to correct was that bad advice?

[@user-ze1dz3ux2t]

Jack Mueth what

[@electric1609]

Good question. I've wondered that exact thing myself. It is my understanding though, that that correction was more acceptable because he was correcting a precursor to an explosion. ie the dog chose to give larry a dirty look out of fear rather than keep focusing on the handler and the command. I'm trying to wrap my mind around this one too. Where do you draw the line...? My take is that trying to correct the explosion will do you no good because the dog is over threshold and that's that. Only physical distance and the feeling of safety will truly resolve the explosion. Whereas quick little corrections to KEEP the dog BELOW threshold are more fair to the animal? And in that case it was like a quick reminder that "hey! Let's focus on the place command and not get worked up about the harmless bystander"....?

If I remember correctly, the mini educator works until it is 40 feet underwater. But if your dog is 40 ft under, you've got bigger problems.

Hi Larry. I have a 15 week old puppy that we have had dominance and aggression issues with since 8 weeks old. We have taken him to two different puppy schools and both times the trainer is stunned and doesn't really know what to offer us. When he doesn't get his way he is incredibly aggressive towards humans including myself and my partner, vets and trainers. Will bite and latch on with a very firm bite. We have tried putting him on the ground and parking him but that just gives him what he wants. We have tired holding him in place but he cries and screams and uses his whole entire body strength to break free all while biting and latching onto us. We just don't know what to do. This happens when he doesn't get his way. Maybe on a walk and we need to fix his harness or when we are holding him and he wants to play on the ground or with something. Please help.

[@mywong2411]

india hughes : could be due to poor breeding and genetic defects.

[@mywong2411]

india hughes : sometimes bad breeding leads to mental problems.

[@indiah6396]

We did rescue him off a farm. His mum is a foxy pug and dad is a bichon shitzu. In that case what can we do? Can we get him tested?

[@indiah6396]

Also to add, he is fantastic at obedience. Picks things up very quickly.

[@mywong2411]

india hughes maybe due to the mixture of that gene pool, he's not suitable to be kept as a household pet, which is probably why the puppy schools couldn't really teach him. If he knows obedience commands, it doesn't make him a submissive pet... My Bull Terrier has no aggression issues. He is particularly stubborn and will challenge your authority almost every single day... he's got all the exercise, good food, affection etc.. However I think his behavioural issue is due to bad breeding line because when I bought him,the seller couldn't really tell me who his parents were.. I've trained my dogs ever since I was young but I completely gave up with my bull terrier. So I handed him over to my friend who is a dog trainer. He said he knew how to fix his issues as he's got a small pack of dogs to subdue the bull terrier.

[@MrAziz0806]

My dog has been eating his POOP ever since I got him from my breeder it has been over 2 months now he is a 17 week Rottweiler I know this is your specialty Larry and I have been watching a lot of your videos and you seem like you're not a softy but also not an abusive trainer I trust that you know what the hell you are doing with this breed of dog especially. Anyways I took him to the vet & he was diagnosed with Giardia (TOTAL NIGHTMARE BTW because he kept reinfecting himself due to eating the crap) he said that my dog is most likely is eating his poop because the parasites are not allowing his body to absorb nutrients which makes him feel like the poop is a way to get more nutrients... so I took shifts with my wife for about 21 days and had him on 24hr watch. FINALLY he was parasite free and we made damn sure with 4 $50 tests. After that nightmare the habit of eating his damn poop stuck with him. He is currently on a soft chew and a powder my vet recommended that prevents the dog from eating his doo doo. Just to let you know I work from home and I am with my dog all the time except for when I go to bed or leave for 30 minute increments throughout the day so he knows it's okay to be alone. He knows to go to the bathroom on pads 80-90% of the time with a few occasional messes on the kitchen floor because he is a poop walker he starts off good and sometimes it all goes to sh**. He will wait about 60 seconds after he poops and if I am not there to save the day he will happily feast on the feces. I have camera's placed on him with motion detectors to watch his every move when I am not around. He's blocked off in my kitchen when he is alone which has a pretty good amount of space. I purchased the E-Collar yesterday got the one you recommended the mini educator to correct bad physical behaviors as you were saying in the beginning of this video and i'm pretty certain turd chomping is a physical behavior a really gross one at that. Man does he love him some poop I should've named him the turd monster. a few days ago I went to the store for 25 minutes and this little guy took a hughmunga dunga and devoured it with ease as I am watching hopelessly on the camera praying amazon doesn't lose my package. So now what? My wife really doesn't want him to be on the collar even though I've showed numerous videos and reviews of people saying e collars work but all those videos and reviews are for older dogs getting corrected and now I'm like wait maybe I'll mess with my dog's mental health shocking him every-time he goes in for the turd meal. Would this be good for this specific physical behavior and I'm thinking this is perfect for this specific case of the poop munchies. BUT is he too young? Will I create a Sh** monster? If anyone else is reading this comment and has had this issue in the past please give me feedback or advice cause I know Larry is a busy guy and I really want to educate in shit-TA-matics...
