FAQs
This course is all about layering in the e-collar as a second “language” for off-leash reliability. You’ll learn a step-by-step, ethical approach to conditioning the e-collar—building on the leash work you mastered in Foundational Obedience.
Yes, or you should already have solid leash skills and a clear training relationship with your dog. This course assumes you understand leash pressure, basic commands, and training structure.
We don’t use the e-collar as a shortcut or to scare your dog into compliance. Yes, it’s eventually used as a correction—to help steer your dog back into the right behavior—but only after it’s been carefully conditioned as a language your dog understands and actually enjoys controlling.
Because of this conditioning process, your dog knows exactly what the communication means and can confidently choose the right behavior to find their advantage. The biggest issue with most e-collar training is skipping this step: if the collar isn’t first introduced as a positive, directional tool, you end up with confusion or suppression. We do it differently—your dog learns the e-collar as a clear, fair signal they want to respond to, not something to fear.
No way. Our system is about building confidence, clarity, and motivation—not suppressing drive or creating a robot. Your dog will work with you because they understand the game and enjoy the process.
