What e-collar would you recommend for a reactive labrador retriever? I have been reading a lot of great reviews on the Dogtra 280NCP Platinum. Would you recommend it if I plan to use it to control my dog from becoming uncontrollable in the presence of dogs and strangers when walking my dog?
Thanks-do you start with a long lead or do most dogs understand and you gradually increase the distance? My dog usually responds to a hand signal for come, but it isn't as consistent as it could be.
search my videos for ''introducing the collar'' we only call them when their back is turned so hand signals are ineffective ,if you don't have a fenced area then definetly use a long line
I always teach dogs to do this combinations, but through a different method. More complicated. I think, when I'll use the Dogtra, I'll make my job easier.
thanks!! no need to have the dog wear the collar for awhile beforehand ,and think of heel and come as aspects of the same behavior,so you can train them concurrently..search the videos for ''how to keep the dog from getting collarwise''!
so do you shock them when you give command or when they dont do the command

Thank you so much for the videos. Quick question. Each time you press the button, are you using mostly...the vibration feature..or the nick?

@redgrappler the longer buzzing sound is the pager, the shorter chriping sound os the nick in that video I think I was only using the pager

Good video and great advice.
I suppose the same thing applies wether we use an E-collar or any type of training tool.
Do we have to make the dog wear the collar for a while before we start using it so it gets used to it and will not become "collar wise"?
We will make sure we get a solid recall before we go on to the stay.
Can we work on the recall more before we move to the stay, like add heel and sit?
Really appreciate your videos.
Good work.

I'm amazed!
Just tried it and it works so gooood.
I only had her walk with me like you showed with a lose leash inside the house (cause it's freezing here outside) for maybe 4-5
back and forth, using the pager and at the end she was velcroed to me almost.
I did not say a word, only activated the pager when moving away from the dog and she picked up right away it seems.
I think I made a good investment.
I will keep watching your videos and I believe in your method.
Thanks again.
