Week 3 Sit With Electronic Collar
Sit Reps with the Electronic collar:
***Some or all of these can be done in the above exercise, when the dog is called back to you. Simply place them in a sit after a "let's go" or "come". They can also be done as a stand alone.
Equipment needed: Electronic collar, flat or training collar for leash attachment, and long line or 6' leash.
STEP 1: . Make sure you have turned the electronic collar on correctly (use the vibrate button, which on the dogtra is the last button away from the antenna side). Also make sure the collar was put on tight enough.
STEP 2: Come to a stop from whatever you are doing (walking with the dog or following the dog around). Be sure that you have access to stepping on the long line fairly close to your dog. In fact in the beginning, you may want to be stepping on it already.
STEP 3: Issue the command "sit".
STEP 3A: Give them a second. If they sit within that time, be sure to tell them they are a good boy or girl.
STEP 3B: If they do not sit within that time, give them a stim (just one tap) on the electronic collar. Since we are training the dog on something new, you can say "sit" everytime before you tap. If the dog seems unphased go up the dial. Also remember you can help them out by molding them after you tap, if they truly seem confused or stuck. After they are in a sit, you can tell them they are a good boy or a good girl even though they were corrected. This is because they are learning a new piece of equipment as you are.
STEP 4: Give your dog the release word.
STEP 5: Repeat about 10 to 15 times.
