E- Collar? You be the Judge

There is a misconception about e collars.
The big problem is the lack of education on how to us them.
Unleashed Potential Dog trainers are certified in many methods including the specialized use of remote training collars.
Duke Ferguson's dog "Nitro" was trained with the use of an e collar, food and toys. Watch Nitro i...n this short video and then you be the judge if a e collar is all bad. If you still think so after watching the video then please answer 1 question. Why is this dog So Happy getting the e-collar on?

e collars are only good to create a dog-robot very quickly... if people weren't lazy, they wouldn't need them... plus, how do you deserve any respect at all, if you're using a machine to correct the dog, instead of your personal energy?

[unleashedpotentialK9]

@bububububak Personal energy?? LOL!! you must mean fear. Spend some time researching e collars before you comment on something you dont understand....You must also understand, There is no such thing as a robot dog.

First off... it's a Maligator!!! Those dogs are happy when you're beating them with a stick, as long as they're working. (: Try putting one on a more sensitive breed like a BC. My friend's BC cowers and slinks away when hers is put on. I don't think it's relevant if Nitro is happy to get his collar put on, because he knows that when the collar is put on, he gets to work. My question for you is: could you get Nitro to the same exact level of obedience without the e-collar? Yes. So why use it?

[unleashedpotentialK9]

@erikeetparakeet Yes, I can and show it in a lot of my other videos including this one. please go and watch them. I use them because they are non personal and very motivational to aid in extra attention to command in an overall training program. Also I have a BC mix and and she is in some videos as well. I was the BC's 3rd owner at 8 months old and rescued her from being put down because a clicker only behaviorist told the owners to. Your friends BC is not being trained right.

@zimeh you are watching a high drive dog that loves to work and that is very motivated to get the toy in the background, and you see Nervousness?? OMG,Are you kidding?? have you ever worked with or trained a malinois. There is not a nervous bone in his body. He is doing everything he can as fast as he can to get the toy, which is positive reinforcement by the way. Positive reinforcement ONLY is not real world training and will not get the same results as using the balance both + and -.

This dog is not fearful at all. Not a hint of hesitation in its behavior. In fact, it is SUPER PUMPED to get that collar on bc it knows it's about to work for its human. A robot?!? That's just a Mal being a Mal, and a beautifully trained one at that. How could a dog have any more personality than a working Mal? Silly, shortsighted dog lovers that have no respect for K9's instinctual behavior put so much heat on e collar methods. It can be a wonderful tool in the right hands. Great job!

Most people who criticize dog trainers who use discipline, boundaries, and E collars are usually those who have disobedient dogs which jump up on people, don't come when they're called, bark at everything, and pull on the leash. I wish I lived next door to the guy in this video so that he could help me with my dog. I have more difficulties with training dogs because I am a quadriplegic. Despite that, I have a fairly well-trained dog who loves to listen.

@unleashedpotentialK9 oh, clever you, you must have done a lot of research...

Great Video.I have been a positive reinforcement trainer for years. After working with this method for about on a beagle, I have found he needs a twinge of correction to get his full attention. He is going to do schutzhund tracking and I need him to take me seriously. Im going to do escape and advoidance training with him. Good to see a smart trainer using equipment well

[mmaNateGreen]

that was an awesome video, and was very informative. i was on the line about using an e-collar with my doberman, but now my mind is set on getting one! i spend a lot of time working with her, but i'd like to take her training to the next level. i have always used strictly positive reinforcement in the past, which has turned out some good results, but it occasionally the dog will ignore me if I don't have a treat in my hands. sometimes I feel as if I'm bribing her obedience.

@unleashedpotentialK9 its nice to see someone have the same compassion as me for training dogs and its nice to see someone who knows what they are doing keep up the good work :) and guys if he knew his dog was in anyway uncomfortable or in pain then he would deffinatly take it off but as you can see this is a high energy dog and he does a great job with him :)

[tornandfrail]

@unleashedpotentialK9 absolutly i mean this collar cant be hurting him or he would not be so happy to wear it but im afraid that some people who dont know how to use this would cause more problems to the dog rather than good. as a trainer you will know your dog better than anyone else and you will pick up on his feelings when your training him and you will deffinatly pick up if he is in pain and as we can see from the video hes more excited than anything :)
