Don't Pull On My Leash Basics.
Give direction to the ecollar with the leash pressure. This also teaches the dog that he has the power to turn the collar on with pulling and he can turn the collar off when he stops pulling.
If your dog does not pull, no low level nick on the leash collar. This reinforces the leash pressure equals the collar sensation. Then when the dog is off leash, the pager is the same as the leash pressure.
Do this 10 - 15 minutes a day, twice a day. It's sets a solid foundation for the ecollar work and obedience training.

Once Don't Pulling is successful most of the time, now it's time advance to on-leash and then no-leash Recall.
Verbal command, "FIDO" at the same time press the low level nick in the tap, tap, tap pattern. Make sure you dog is completely facing away from you. Be patient and high praise and treat when they come back to you. Make this fun!!
You are teaching your dog what the command is without the leash pressure now that you set the foundation of leash pressure layered with collar in No Pulling exercises.
This can be applied to puppy training too.
Reba's pushiness is caused by her insecurity -- not her confidence. By pairing pager training with treats and praise, she's learning her commands and building successes. Stacking successes builds confidence, and in turn, it calms her state of mind. You will watch her nervousness melt away.
Reba is working hard and will be pushed to the next level this week, so stay tuned to see her go from nervous and pushy to confident and relaxed! Learn more about our programs by visiting https://elitepuptraining.com.

Part one: Meet Reba! She's a nervous 7-month-old German Shepherd mix. Reba is nervous around most things, including people and other dogs. Once she feels comfortable, she's a playful puppy. However, she is starting to learn bad habits like pulling, digging, and poor manners.
Reba is enrolled in our Hybrid Training Program: a three-week, immersive-style board and train. In our program, she will have obedience training, learn socialization skills, and build her confidence. We also include training for Reba's humans to support continuing training at home. Stay tuned as Reba learns and grows!
No pulling with leash pressure! Yes, you can teach your dog no pulling with only leash pressure. First, teach your dog pressure by lightly pulling until they move into the pressure. Your dog learns they can turn the pressure off with that simple movement of moving into the leash or ultimately following you.
If your dog is pulling, turn in the opposite direction. If your dog is getting ahead of you but not pulling yet, place pressure and turn into your dog instead of away from them -- that will move your dog back into the heel position. Add praise and a treat. Repeat.

Mike's Five-week Board and Train Journey
Mike is home and doing great! He's different with his obedience skills, but is still the same Mike. He's still the same dog that brings the squeaky toy to you -- he's just well-mannered now. When Mike arrived, we couldn't even touch him. Now look at him. He's confident and happy. His family can bring him out to restaurants, to the beach, on the trails, or just be peaceful at home. They trust that if he needs to be corrected, he will listen. Now, they both have the tools to succeed!

Thank you all as it’s times like this that we really feel the essence of the expression “It takes a village”!
Waylon is back home and we thank you all for helping make this happen.
We have an Off-Site Training component for higher level distractions. Basic obedience skills are challenged by the unfamiliar locations and level of distractions. In this advanced training, structure sets the dog up for success.
From our family to yours, Wishing you all a very happy holiday.
Follow Mikes 5 Week Board & Train Journey
You will notice Mike is not leaving Head Trainer, Ricky's, side. He is off-leash and has advanced to recall with the Nic or TENS sensation, which is referred to as Recall Step B. We use the Nic in place of the Pager (vibration) to condition the same response when the distractions are high, such as the noisy environment seen in this video. We want to be confident that we can go into different situations knowing that Mike has a good recall, regardless of the surrounding distractions. Mike is able to respond to the Nic because he can "hear" it over the loud noises, and the communication link is unbroken, we can continue communicating as if there were fewer distractions.
Mike has now advanced to the No Pulling Command without the leash. He is practicing more purpose driven behavior, as displayed by him turning with his trainer and going into a down position when the trainer stops. Mike still has many more turns and downs before this becomes an automatic behavior or a knee-jerk response, which is what we are aiming for. Please cheer Mike on as he is doing so well with his training!
End of Week #1 - A Look at Mike's Progress in the 5 Week Board & Trai
Mike is mastering the Pager Intro with his no-pulling skills. Here you can see him walking by his trainer's side, not pulling, and learning to sit when he stops, all while there are high-level distractions surrounding him in this training exercise. He will now graduate to off-leash, staying by his trainer's side regardless of what is happening around him!
