Protection and Police K9 Dog Training - Sit Means Sit

cadogancna,

What's the difference between e-collar and leash and collar? I have seen these guys work their dogs off collar in a crowded environment, like a home show expo. You are trying to knock what they do but offer no good rationale. E-collars work! The Sit Means Sit guys prove it. What's the issue? Be specific not vague.

That's such a close minded statement.

Training with a remote is close minded in everyway, law Enforcemnt uses them because of liability not because they want to show off, I'll be impressed when YOU can show me a dog do the same training without a collar, but we ALL know you can't. :(
Dogs are not robbots, it would be nice if you quit acting as if they were. Watch the handlers hand as he uses the remote often & for every command he ask the dog to do...not impressed at all. It's actually sad to watch ...

If you actually took the time to watch more than one video before passing judgment, you would have seen that the makers of this particular video address the issue of training "without" the remote collar on. It can be done and he even demonstrates it. The remote collar is more for fine tuning a dog. It is not a substitute for good ol fashion training. I don't use a remote collar on my dog and he can do most of the things the dogs in the video can do. That's a fact.

Everyone that has come from "sit mean sit" have a remote in their hands, I don't think everyone should be sold a E-collar to solve issues. As we know most issues in dog training are handlers not the dog. SO for me to accept your comments as facts , I'll take a step back and say that until I see any of your dogs that have been trained without ever wearing an E-collar, I'll be impressed but I doubt that that is a fact.

AWESOME!

Oh, also, you can get a schutzhund dog trained in almost any language, so it's pretty cool :D

oh you mean language... lol i just talk to my dog with body language...

thats all good when its looking at u.

Depending on what command you're intending on using, your commands need to be 1 or 2 syllables. In schutzhund release commands are one syllable (OUT) and hold commands are usually 2 syllables (GETTIM). If you need a 1 or 2 syllable command and it doesn't come in English, some people will choose to use German words. My dad wants his schutzhund trained in German for many reasons, mostly so if he does have to use him in the real world the offender most likely wont know what you're telling the dog.
