Posted on February 22nd, 2010 in Dogs by admin

Are you ready to start training your family puppy? You may want to consider the use of an electronic collar, such as the Tri Tronics G2 for example. There are a lot of ways to train your dog and this technique can prove quick and effective when used properly. Whether you are concerned about stopping negative behaviors such as jumping up and barking or you want to teach your pet commands, like how to heel, sit and stay, this remote method of dog training can lead your dog to obedience in no time.

Here are some tips for effective remote dog collar training:

1. Follow the same step-by-step process each time you teach your dog a new behavior. If your dog already knows a command he can actually be a bit confused when it is used along with the collar, so developing a good method from the beginning can help to alleviate| that potential confusion.

2. Break the materials down into easy tasks and keep them short. Dogs have small attention spans and will learn easiest when they are taught new behaviours in small steps.

3. Be consistent in your method of training and the actions that you expect from your dog.

4. Keep your focus on teaching your dog one behavior or action at a time. He will not be able to make the associations between the collar and the command if you are too unfocused with your training method.

5. When your dog performs the command correctly, be sure to let him know by using praise.

6. If your dog seems confused by a order, make it wasy so that he can feel successful. You want these training sessions to be a great experience for both you and your beloved pet.

7. Do not have the Tri Tronics Upland G2 (or any collar for that matter) set at a level of intensity that is too high when you first begin training. You will need to carefully test your pet’s sensitivity to the remote collar and you should start with it on the lowest setting.

8. Ideally you will want the introduction phase to take place in an area with as little distractions as possible. He will not be able to concentrate and learn easily if there is too much going on around him.

9. To teach your dog reliability, you will want to add in some training around distractions at a later time as this really more closely mimics real life situations.

10. You will want to add those distractions gradually though as opposed to too much all at once and be sure that they are not the type of distractions that will scare your dog as this can definitely work against the training.

11. When you are training around the distractions, it will most likely be necessary to set the collar at a higher intensity level to achieve the results you are working to attain.

12. Your pet learns by repetition so you will want to repeat the commands often especially at the start of the training sessions.

Once your pet has a some great command successes, be sure to include play time as a part of your training time together. Always try to keep in mind that you want this time to be great for both you and your pet. The Tri Tronics Upland G2 EXP is a tool that takes your dog’s obedience skills to a whole new level. The process of remote dog training can be fast, fun and easy to implement.
