It's easy to acquire a behavior short term, like walking without pulling on a leash. What is difficult is habituating that behavior into a reproduceable skill.

Beautiful day for a hike with your pup! 🐾

Nikko has started week three of E-collar training for off leash reliability! Prior to starting E-collar training, Nikko was taught a solid foundation of his basic skills as you can see in our previous videos. Now that he has a solid foundation, we are layering the e-collar stimulation with those basic commands. In this video, each time I say "come" I am tapping the stimulation button and releasing as soon as he commits to recalling to me. You will see at one point in the video that he becomes distracted sniffing the ground for a brief moment and doesn't recall right away. When this happens, I dial up on the stimulation and release as soon as he commits to recalling. Keep in mind- Nikko KNOWS what the "come" command means. This is not new information to him. E-collar training will enable him to have off leash freedom to explore independently without me needing to worry about a deer, rabbit, or amish buggy enticing him to run away. After all, how often do you hear of Siberian Huskies running away from their owners? It is VERY common for this breed, and one of the main reasons E-collar training is an essential tool for Nikko.

Training is educating, and should not be limited to the mastering of just 5 basic commands; it is an ongoing process that continues throughout the dogs life. Nikko continues to strengthen his loose leash manners every day on our structured walks together. Training can happen anywhere. Practice MUST happen everywhere.

Check out Nikko's recall on a long line at the park! How did I teach such a strong recall with the whistle? A high rate of reinforcement history with the whistle cue! Whistle = high value reward every single time. Also- the ONLY time he gets this specific high value reward is for recall. There is no need for an "emergency recall cue" if their recall is 100% every single time. 🐾
