E-Collar Conditioning
**E-Collar Education** 📚
This tool gets alot of criticism due to a lack of education leading to inappropriate misuse. As a result, many people are left clueless and concerned due to misunderstanding.
When used appropriately, the E-Collar is the most effective and efficient modern communication tool we have that allows instant, alternative, on/off-leash tactile communication with our dog!

Here are some vital core principles to ensure appropriate E-Collar use ✅
⚠️ NOT ALL E-COLLARS ARE CREATED EQUAL
- Cheap E-Collars are devastating as the stimulation cannot be modulated to extremely low levels leading to only high voltage outputs.
- A good E-Collar should not be felt at all at lower levels, have many varying levels of stimulation and a vibration function.
⚠️ E-COLLARS ARE USED FOR COMMUNICATION NOT PUNISHMENT
- Applying a high level stimulation (shock) to stop or punish behaviour is old school and outdated.
- Appropriate E-Collar communication should consist of varying low-response levels of stimulation and vibration.
⚠️ ALL E-COLLAR TRAINING REQUIRES POSITIVE CONDITIONING.
- Your dog should be neutral, happy or excited in the presence or application of the E-Collar.
- Without adequate conditioning, the dog becomes confused and doesnt understand the communication.

⚠️ It is advised to take our time when training our dogs and let our dogs indicate the speed of their progress! Quality over quantity with consistency is the most efficient training path for any dog!
Training sessions should be kept between 1-15 minutes ⏰ and utilised before feeding our dogs to keep our lure and reward high value 😋
