Week 3 Educator Collar Cheat Sheet

 

Mannerly Mutts E-Collar Usage Notes (Educator)

  
  1. Turning E-Collar on and off.
    1. Two red dots (one on collar and one on remote) are magnets.  This turns off (or on) the collar only.
    2. Line them up.
    3. Test with vibration button, which is the lone button on the side
2.  Turning the remote on and off
                a.  Large button on back turns off collar (small button changes mode so don't touch that).
                b.  Hold the large button down until you see the screen on the front come on (or go off if                           you are shutting it off for the evening.
  1. Charging E-Collar Daily.
    1. Turn collar off AND remote before putting it on charger.
    2. Charger used with collar and remote.
    3. Round hole covered by rubber in back or side (remote) is where it plus in.
  2. Correct fastening of the E-Collar.
    1. Should be very tight around dog’s neck.   You will think it’s too tight, but should not cut off air supply or interfere with eating or swallowing. (Would be very hard to do).   Note:  I would put a dab of nail polish where it should be.
    2. Metal points on back need to be flush with neck in order for the correct level of stimulation to get to the dog.
    3. NEVER EVER FASTEN LEASH TO E-COLLAR.   LEASH SHOULD ALWAYS BE FASTENED TO FLAT COLLAR (or metal training collar).  OTHERWISE LEASH PRESSURE POINTS ON E-COLLAR ARE TOO MUCH FOR DOG, AS THERE IS NO EVEN PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION.
  3.   What are the problems of not fastening the E-collar correctly?
    1. Irritation to the neck.
    2. Arks caused by electrical stim not contacting correctly, or no stim at all.   Inconsistent and wrong corrections.
NOTE:  ON THE TWO DOG COLLAR YOU ARE BORROWING THE RED BUTTON IS FOR A SECOND DOG ONLY.  DO NOT USE IT ON THE TWO DOG COLLAR.  ON THE ONE DOG COLLAR, THIS RED BUTTON IS A BOOST OR CONTINUOUS DEPENDING ON WHAT MODE IT IS SET UP.  STANDARD FOR ONE DOG IS CONTINUOUS FOR THE RED BUTTON, MOMENTARY FOR THE BLACK BUTTON NEXT TO THE READ BUTTON, AND VIBRATE FOR THE STAND ALONE BLACK BUTTON ON THE OTHER SIDE.

THE REMOTES LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME FOR TWO DOG AND ONE DOG, BUT THE BUTTONS ARE DIFFERENT AS NOTED.


note also remember, the only button you are using to correct is the black button next to the red button.   Also if your dog is not responding (and the collar AND remote are in fact on, and even as you go up the dial it does not seem that your dog feels it), then make sure the collar is tight enough (remember you don't want to gag him, but you should only be able to put two fingers under the collar comfortably as opposed to your whole hand).

Week 1 Long Place

  Long place is technically the 4th step in the overall place command:   First step is intro.  Intro is just walking the dog and letting them pass over it.  "Place" is said when all paws are on the place. Second step is teaching the dog to step on the place themselves. Third step is teaching them that there is a boundary they should not step off. Fourth step is beginning to proof and advance this exercise by having them keep themselves on the place for a period of time.   Trainer only gets involved if they try to leave. This teaches your dog that you might very well be in a seated position when they are in a place (while the third step has started the idea that you may be moving around the room).   This is tricky for dogs as they usually want to be petted or cuddled when you take a seat, but it is important that owners have time to read, work, eat a meal, and so on without constantly needing to pay attention to their dog.   Usually ...
