If your dog is running rings around you and you are feeling like a fool standing in the middle of a park calling ‘Come here boy’ to no avail, you may need to consider a remote trainer. A remote trainer, also know as a remote dog training collar, is an ingenious device that will allow you to train your dog with the use of a small remote control device. This device eliminates the need to be right next to your dog to regain control.

Make sure that you take off the dog’s regular collar before making it wear the remote trainer collar, in order to avoid both malfunctions and accidents. The collar contains a small box with two small electrodes that must make contact with your dogs skin, through his coat. If your dog has extremely long hair, you might need to cut it a bit before making it wear the collar.

The remote that is included with the collar will let you give mild static shock corrections to your dog while in training.

How To Commence Training

Training your dog with the remote trainer starts just like any regular training, but with an added correction. For example, if you have taught your dog to associate the action of sitting with the word “sit,” you can correct it with a small static shock with the collar whenever the dog doesn’t obey the command word.

When you think your dog has understood the command or activity that you’ve been teaching it, then it’s time to try the remote without the leash. Should the dog choose to disobey, you can increase the level of static while repeating the command until he obeys.

You can also teach your dog some safety rules with the aid of the remote trainer, for instance, by stopping your dog with a correction if it tries to run towards a street full of cars. It also makes walking with him a more pleasant experience as you can say goodbye to endless shouting, and look forward to a bouncing dog, tail wagging as he returns.
