E collars for dogs

My dear old dog was completely deaf for the last couple of years of her life and I was so grateful that when I'd trained her I'd used hand signals as well as voice commands. I knew I could still keep her safe even when she couldn't hear me and it was lovely to still be able to 'speak' to her.

The collars seem like something you would use if you'd rather have a remote control dog.

I often hear people using dog whistles which the dog happily ignores. The training around these things is the important thing otherwise they are useless. Might as well just do the training.

Yes, I've used an e-collar with beep and vibrate functions for recall training. By consistently pairing the vibration with a recall command and rewarding my dog upon return, it effectively reinforced the behavior. This method is especially useful in distracting environments where verbal cues might be less effective.

I went to training classes with my beloved little dog. I was taught clicker training. It created an incredible bond between me and my dog. Sadly I lost my little dog last year. Very grateful for the years I was privileged to have spent with her.

I can’t see a bleep encouraging recall. Whistle training can help but teaching recall means making yourself the most interesting thing on the field
Start at home whistle or call every time they’re fed
Call your dog regularly treat and fuss every time. On the field play retrieve always rewarding
Call your dog as it runs away be excited, as it runs to you praise and as it arrives as your feet throw a handful of high value treats, chicken cheese etc

Definitely not

Absolutely not! There is no substitute for calm, patient and consistent training. Yes, it is hard work and it takes time, effort and a lot of patience - but it will pay off in the end.

I agree Oldbat1 positive reinforcement all the way.

Not a good way of training or treating any animal. Responsible training ideally is all reward based.

No , I’ve trained my dogs to the whistle and with treats .

Wouldn’t it be very annoying to have something beeping or vibrating on their necks what’s wrong with teaching them the old fashioned way with treats
