So we are going to use a remote collar to train the puppy to never chew the chainlink fence she doesn’t do it often . A trainer on YouTube Solidk9 training recommended. I think it’s better to have a mild stem correction than broken teeth one day. Als
Sport dog is a good brand with several levels of correction. This will not be effective for chewing unless you are always there to correct her. If she chews when you are not home there is no way to know or enforce or correct this. For any training you have to ask them to perform something they know, such as sit. If they do not do it you push the button. If they do well then you reward them. Keep them on a leash while training. When you ask them to come, you pull the leash. If there is no interest then you correct them. They will learn to associate the two things together quickly to respond

Is a harness or collar better for my dog (1 year, 50lbs) not leash aggressive but very energetic. Slipped out of collar once,afraid hes going to again
From the perspective of him getting loose a harness could be more secure. I find, however, that this encourages them to pull more. I like the easy walk harnesses the best or even the gentle leaders. I would also recommend some obedience training as they can help you Willy off leash management

What do you think about shock collars? I've recently read of a pit bull who fatally mauled a 90-year-old womon in Virginia Beach because he was driven to distraction by his shock collar. I'm sure there are some humans who would "train" with something
Shock collars, bark collars, and clicker training are all acceptable ways of training pets. The down side is they are ineffective if not done properly. They are great modalities in the correct hands that know how to implement them and do it correctly to where the dog understands what is being asked of them. Consulting a behavioral/trainer that is experienced is the best way to achieve positive results.

I want to get my dogs able to be offleash. They know come but need something to make them listen even if they don’t want to. I have seen trainers on YouTube use e collars to train this. How would I do this? Please don’t say don’t use it. Anyone that
Shock collars such as the SportDog work well when used properly. The key is you have to train them on a leash to know what the response is before letting them off leash to use it. This brand come with several shock settings and a beep. Some people use the beep as a praise and reward when they are far off and do well, other use it as a warning beep to listen or the shock is next. When you have them on leash, tell them a command. If they do not do it, you shock them and make them do it. This teaches them the consequences. When they do right, you praise them. AS they get better you can start with longer distances until they fully understand--which doesn't take long. Once they get it, some just need the collar on to keep paying attention without using any buttons

I posted a question about shock collars. I have tried to off leash train him “the postive only route” it’s is not cruel look up Off leash canine and Solidk9. They can train huskies off leash and other dogs with this tool. Doesn’t hurt anymore than te
I'm so glad that you found a good training method for Timber. The problem with shock collars is that often people do not use them correctly. If you are shocking your dog inappropriately, they will get confused about what is going on and everyone will be frustrated with training. When used appropriately, shock collars can be a very effective training method. I'm so glad that it is working well for Timber, so you must be doing it right. Congrats! Thanks for using Boop by Petco!
