HOW I SAFELY TRAIN MY DOGS COMPLETELY OFF LEASH!

How to get your dog to come when called off leash is something so many dog owners struggle with. In this professional dog training video Tom Davis goes over the whole process on the safest way he trains his dogs off leash! Dogs are animals and sometimes animals do things we never see coming. Using the remote collar is in (our opinion) the most reliable responsible approach to train any dog off leash!

My pittie gets so excited when i put his e collar on! his tail starts wagging and he has such a big smile on his face. His e Collar to him means he gets to roam and be a dog, while being safe! Great video!

[@irfanraza-lz3ye]

The fact that he wouldn’t even feel the e-collar from the stimulation outside definitely shows how safe the e-collar can be. Thanks for this video!

Thank you so much for giving me the courage to get an e-collar and start training. I'm using all your e-collar videos to train my pup and after a day with a few short training sessions I can see such a difference. This will be life changing for my dog and I.

[@lobsterairsoft499]

Going to become a first time dog owner in a few months and I’ve been watching your videos in preparation and it’s the first time I feel confident that there’s real logic and science that goes into training that it’s not just about making sure you’re the “alpha” with the dog, or that you don’t have to be some superhuman dog whisperer to get your dog to listen. Can’t wait to put my to practice

[@moxierower1806]

Ecollars saves lives, awesome video

[@tomdavisofficial]

Yes they do, thanks for watching!

[@LauraHopkinsCDL]

Beautifully explained. I always have my dogs e collar on , just in case. She responds fine to just the bleep these days as I conditioned her by always using the bleep before the stim. She chased every thing , now she has no interest in anything but me and doing things off lead/leash together. Great video Tom. Thank you : )

[@alinakorovina681]

Holy smokes I wish wish wish I'd stumbled on your channel a few months ago!! We just ordered an E-collar after months of mixed results with other training methods, and I was feeling nervous about having it out in public, partly because of potentially being judged, and partly because I didn't realise just how positive it's possible to make it. Your videos have flipped that completely to being so over the top suuuuuper dooper excited to get started, make my doggo an absolute superstar, and maybe even educate some folks. No doubt I'll be directing some curious dog owners to this channel!

She just wants to visit, but not all dogs know what to do with a huge malamute/husky mix coming at them. Thank you Tom for helping me get better control of my dog. I haven't even had to use a prong collar or an e-collar. I might try an e-collar at the dog park first. I want her to feel free. And have used no treats.

I've never seen a e-collar used like this, what a great idea! A totally different method of training a dog that I should have thought of since it's very similar to how I might work with a horse. So cool.

I really found this video very helpful. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@jenniferpepler5843]

OMG! That sound box was soooooo very helpful! I trained a dog a few years back on a similar type collar. I used it as recommended by the company that made the collar. I had great success with it! The dog finally realized that chasing horses wasn't worth the effort. However, from what I remember I wasn't holding the continuous button until he started to come. I think instructions stated to use if command wasn't obeyed. So this tells me I need to make sure to follow instructions given by company and/ or yourself! Thanks!!!

[@sweet_veganmomma4188]

You are a life saver!! We rescued a 5 year old German Shepard/Belgian Malinois? Not sure which she is but she’s amazing. Your tips on training have made her such an easy dog to be around.

[@frankegelsen65]

So first off, I have been watching your videos for about a year now when I got my GS Jax. Jax was 8 weeks old when I got him and we started training right away. COVID prohibited me from doing any real socialization with other dogs. I did find a great local trainer named Rick who lives local ( I am from NY ). He has been a tremendous help to me and Jax. But I wanted more freedom for Jax and started watching your videos on collars. I purchased the DogTra 1900s Black. Jax has been wearing it for about a week,about 6 hours a day just to get him accustomed to it. We are going to start training this week and I look forward to it. So thank you for all the videos you put here on KZbin.

[@Rev_John_Danger]

Thomas, I’ve been lurking for a while and have been very impressed. Your balanced approach to training and your use of technology to communicate with the dog really resonate with me. These methods are logical, humane and effective. I’ve just adopted a 5.5 mo old GSD female who was exclusively kept indoors, never saw a leash, with limited socialization outside of her family and the family pets. That said, she’s doing great on leash, in her crate and is just a joy to be around. She is a little skittish but is gradually gaining confidence and has great recovery. I’d love to discuss some of the challenges I’m facing with her. Is there a way to contact you or one of your trainers via email of over the phone? Thanks, John

[@sherylm4136]

Hi! You're work with dogs and videos are awesome and helpful. I can't find the e collar link. Where?

[@keithhimstedt6870]

Thoughts on e collar training for an English Bulldog? My last dog was e collar trained and I loved it as long as I remembered to put the collar on in the morning. I have heard it's not good for Bulldogs b/c they have such a short nose and breathing challenges. Can't use a neck collar have to use harness for that reason.

[@genagx]

Sometimes you just gotta go back and rewatch videos. And they're just as soon if not better than the first time I watched it. Ps bring these shirts and the don't touch my dog shirts back!!!

[@danwalsh9931]

Thanks Tom, your training videos and methods have been invaluable to me and my 100+ pound foster pup Rocky. A friend just lent me an e-collar unit that's been sitting in his closet for a few years (SportDog brand). It has tone and vibration, and then 21 levels of electro-stim. You said that with the Dogtra e-collar, you are using level 4 or 5 (out of 127 levels) for basic training. I assume that means you are using stim pressure to start with rather than vibration. If that's the case, how and when would you use the vibration mode in training? On the SportDog e-collar, level 1 stim seems pretty high already (at least on my skin). I wonder if vibration might be a better place to start e-collar training with this particular equipment. Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, where are you getting your bungee and cord locks to use with the collar? It's a great idea (and the SportDog unit I have was originally used to train beagles so it was cut short and needs to be extended to fit my dog, anyway).

[@MansterBear]

Do you have a like "starting from a brand new puppy" playlist of videos? Or would the "basic dog training" be the best list to go to? We'll be getting our new GSD puppy in October. I had a "okay" trained rottie for 10.5 years but want to be much better with our new puppy, but not sure what ages to be doing what trainings and things like that.

Amazing timing for this post. Just got an ARC for my German Shepard. We live in the country but we have a road near by and need good recall training. What age would you recommend starting with e-collar training?

I hear 5-6 months is a good place to begin conditioning

[@courtt8188]

Hey Tom! What is the earliest age you recommend training with an e-collar?

[@mariathielen7581]

I know you say they are supposed to be tight. But I am constantly trying to figure out how tight... I always feel like it's either too loose or too tight😂 I'm pretty new at e-collars and the training but have watched SO many of your videos and we've been working on it everyday! I have the dogtra 200c with the bungee collar. 😊

[@MsMoore68]

Would you recommend this for an adult (7 yr) Treeing Walker Hound, or would you suggest an e-collar with GPS included instead? Also, you refer to "pressure". What is pressure? Is it vibration only? I looked at the product and it does have the term "nick" then constant. Are you using the "pager" feature in this one only? Thanks! Nice video!

[@dogsubliminals1338]

I just taught my dog to wall off leash in 10 minutes, put a shock collar on him, but only used the volume sound to correct him. I did not buzz nor shock him. And he even remembered to heal each time, my chi-spaniel is truly a smart dog.

[@tjdwyer8267]

I’ve recently started ecollar training with my Bernese mountain dog and he’s doing fantastic on our own property, but in new or unfamiliar locations the training isn’t transferring. It’s like he doesn’t feel the collar at all once we are off our property and I have to keep him on leash.

[@katlynblaser301]

How young can you start using the collar? I was told by others that they need to have a strong recall before introducing the collar?

[@the_real_amir]

I'm a bit confused about the timing. Should the ecollar stimulation come a fraction before the command so it can *predict* the "come" command? That way the ecollar would simply mean "come" I guess. Or should it come right after the command for as long as the dog is not complying as a pressure/negative reinforcement. It looks like you're suggesting the latter

[@morganchandler4065]

You’re a beast

[@NicBran07]

If this has been asked a million times already, I apologize, but have you had success with Huskies? We have recently adopted a 3 yr old sweet female Husky/German Shepherd mix.

I have successfully e-collar trained my 3 yr old Aussie/Husky/Great Pyrenees to recall. Thanks.

[@jamesjagmin5920]

Tom, Hope you can answer my question. I love your videos and bought the Dogtra ARC for my 1.5 yo Munsterlander. I introduced the e collar to her today and was expecting a response to the stimulation around a lvl 4-5 as you've demonstrated. I took her in our backyard to sniff around and she didn't even notice the stimulation or stop to look up until I got to lvl 15. Is this normal or have you experienced this with other dogs? At lvl 15 she barely even notices it.

[@Benvoyonsdoncle]

You probably have to have the collar tighter so that the prongs can penetrate through the fur consistently. I use a different collar and have it tight but not uncomfortable. My dog has a large pain tolerance and responds to lower stimulus well if the fit is correct.

[@1cbrracer]

Been doing the EXACT same with my 18month lab but he's had his mini educator 300 on for 5 MONTH! And I still need to use it 20% of the time???? Any tips?

[@annrice2405]

In the UK 🇬🇧 these e collars are not available. Do you have any suggestions for recall without the e collars?

[@amandamadden1164]

I have more of a question than a comment...when you say off leash you mean he has no leash but he will have the e-collar on correct? So the dog won't have a physical leash but they will always have the e-collar on?

[@stephaniestephens7076]

I see differing opinions on what age is appropriate to start. Some say 5 months, some say 6 and some say whenever the dog knows commands. I have a 15 week old Great Dane who knows come, sit, down, stay, place and shake. He comes 99% of the time just with one call in the house distracted by my other dogs even when he is barking at one of my other dogs because he wants to play or get what they have. Do you think he is too young? Should I wait or head off any problems before they start?

[@grahamrowland6681]

Really well explained. Honestly who’s dog has not gone AWOL at least once. I like the technology idea we use it every day but not on dogs

[@katsim6799]

Lol. Only when chasing a skunk! Was wishing for e collar that day!

[@grahamrowland6681]

Me I had my Lurcher off lead all her life only 1 occasion did she go awol chasing a rabbit it was only 300 meters away in a field so no massive issue but it did cross my mind what if. Natural instinct and all that. Lol

[@thalassophile1665]

Unfortunately e-collars are illegal where I live. What options are there to train recall, in particular a lab without an e-collar?

[@TyScott85]

Quick question. After weeks of ecollar training and your out on a hike do you continue to use the ecollar or they’ve learned to recall using verbal commands?

[@jamieward1871]

Only you can decide if your dog will ONE HUNDRED PERCENT follow your verbal command in a situation that could suddenly turn dangerous. With my dog, I never take the chance. Training with an ecollar is a great way to train the dog off lead, but it doesn't produce miracles in a matter of weeks.
