How to Condition Your Dog to the E-collar ⚡️ FIRST E-collar Session

[@gopibble]

I think your human psychology skills are on point. I love how you overcame the normal hesitation people have when dealing with “shock” collars.. Actually, having the guardian experience the stim is genius and lays the groundwork of trust and understanding of what you are actually trying to accomplish! Bravo

[@GraceShen-y1m]

why isn't the human trying the shock around his/her neck like the dog is experiencing?!

[@fossf44]

I love how you did the training person to person first. I have a wonderful german shepherd who we fostered then adopted. She is great on recall as long as there is nothing else around, but pretty reactive on leash, when off leash she rushes other dogs that she doesn't know if they are taller than her. Our trainer recommended this e-collar for her and I'm looking forward to working with her on it. Having that stimulation to come back to me is exactly what we need.

Great video, great explanation. I’ve had mine for a minute but haven’t started using it yet because I wasn’t confident I would do it properly even though I’ve watched a ton of videos. You explained it just different enough to where it makes enough sense and now I think I got it.

How is the training going for you now? I recently purchased one, and like you, I have been watching a ton of vids. Still feeling a little nervous. Curious if you had/having success?

[@GiGi-dd5cr]

@@AJ-qs9sr Yes! It took me a little while but I found a great group of trainers and also a club. This is where I really started learning. Basics can be done from videos but I am doing bitework and protection training and will work on more advance obedience so I needed some in person help. One of my trainers has started a youtube channel and although this was a great video on e collar, my trainer put out the best video thats so in depth that anyone can really learn exactly how to use the e collar. So check out his channel, its called Dogma Dog Training Academy. He is so great and the other trainers I work with actually trained under him so I keep it consistent. I drive almost 4 hours to go see him because hes just the best and its awesome hes putting out some free info. His other episodes are more about bitework and stuff but the e collar episode is so good.

E collars are great when used correctly. The beep function is good for training to not react to other dogs or to scavenge food from the street. The vibrate is good to stop pulling and teach them to pay attention and look to you.

[@Gilitrawangan996]

Hamilton! I am totally hooked to these videos of how you teach the use of e-collars. It’s a bit difficult for me to know the exact moment you press the button, for how long, and when you stop. You showed it on the first video when you were ‘training’ the owner of the Doberman. Would it be possible if you edit the videos and add like a red button 🚨🔴 on one of the corners that says: “button pressed” when you pressed the button; then like a “loading bar” 🪫during the seconds that you have the button pressed -showing for how long you pressed the button. Then finally, like a green button taht says: “button released!🎉”, once you release the button? Since we can’t see your hands, it’s almost impossible to associate the exact moments for all of this!

She's my first larger dog after my Chiwahwa and she obviously needed training. I've done loads of research and self trained her with great improvements. I've also trained her on an e collar(good quality one) after doing research and now I can walk her at night without holding the leash with minor distractions and without having to use the e collar but have it on just in case.

[@KeyKey-hz3qk]

Same time better

[@aaronwalton8384]

it is punishment, not negative reinforcement. negative reinforcement is denying a reward

[@enfanir]

I’m not an e-collar fan myself but you’re incorrect. Denying a reward is negative punishment. Negative reinforcement is the removal of a (typically aversive/annoying) stimulus to make a wanted behavior more likely to reoccur. The “reward” that reinforces a behavior in negative reinforcement is essentially relief from an aversive stimulus. Think toddler loudly crying because they want candy and the parent gives them the candy to stop and get relief from the loud crying, that would be negative reinforcement on the parent. You’re thinking of positive punishment. The addition of an aversive stimulus to decrease a behavior. Think of the positive and negative in operant conditioning not to mean good or bad, but rather adding or subtracting stimuli. Positive = addition of stimulus Negative = subtracting/removal of stimulus Then with punishment and reinforcement it’s all about effecting behavior… Reinforcement = doing something to make a behavior MORE likely to reoccur Punishment = doing something to make a behavior LESS likely to reoccur So you mix and max those terms based on the definitions. Negative reinforcement = removal of stimulus to make a behavior more likely to reoccur. Positive reinforcement = addition of stimulus to make a behavior more likely to reoccur. Negative punishment = removal of stimulus to make a behavior less likely to reoccur Positive punishment = addition of stimulus to make a behavior less likely to occur. And that’s operant conditioning!

[@kyleb2819]

In the beginning you said the e collar wont help your dog? she knows everything but he has a big reactive problem I am at a stage where I think there is nothing I can do with my dog I have tried methods that does not work with her reactiveness and I cant take her for walks without her going crazy with other dogs e collar would be a great help I need something to stop her from pulling herself it hurts her when she chokes herself but I find I have no other choice.

Maybe taking her to a trainer as your last option don’t be like my brother and beat your dog

[@vintagetrk]

Why do you back away from the dog when he comes to you?????? And why do you say chip? I dont get the chip thing and the backing up.

[@plsdi111]

I have a question with that method. You always say that you have to give the freedom of decision. So because of that, for me it’s more logical to do it like: saying the dog’s name, if the dog doesn’t reply “tap tap tap”, when the dog looks at me I release the pressure. So why you start to put pressure just before you say the dog’s name?

[@juliajones9297]

at 5:30 you said, "It's just negative reinforcement" but isn't it positive punishment? It's basic operant conditioning and by definition it's positive (adding stimulus) and negative (removing stimulus) punishment.

[@CCOREY5]

No, it’s negative reinforcement because the stim is so light that it’s just an irritation or slight uncomfortable sensation that stops as soon as the dog turns to look and come to the handler. It REINFORCES, ie increases the likelihood of the behavior of the recall. To be positive punishment it would have to be stronger, be actually aversive to the dog, enough to DIMINISH the likelihood of repeating an unwanted behavior.

[@HLCC303]

Negative reinforcement = Removing the pressure in this case. Positive punishment = Delivery of a correction

[@punisher18102]

So you give the command then pressure ? Or command then pressure ?

[@AaronKelton]

I’m not a trainer, but I think the pressure can also be the command/cue (without saying anything). Imagine you’re mute and this is the only way to communicate with your dog. You can do both so there is association, and then over time drop the verbal cue and solely rely on the pressure/prong.

Honestly, if you love your dog you won’t blanuse him. That being said, you don’t need to pay a trainer $1,800 a week to get a crash course on how to use an e collar.

[@tomvanhoutte2993]

With saying his name and at the same time pressing the button... you are makinging a negative connection with his name... right? Shouldn't you use it when he doesnt listen to his name because of distraction or anything? His name should be all positive right? No trolling just dubbelchecking cuz they teached me different...

[@JesterJ71]

Not exactly, they're still acclimating the dog to the collar and every time he comes back the dog gets paid. The stim is so low that the dog is only slightly confused about the pressure but not stressing about it. If the dog fears the collar, then you call his name and the stim was higher/aversive, that would be a negative connection. The ecollar should always be seen as something positive for your dog. For instance, putting a leash on a dog that never worn one, he'd be terrified of it being put on, until he's conditioned to enjoy it.
