Like any sport, hobby, craft, or geometric design -- having the right tools makes a huge difference in your results. Equally important is your technique. The right tools paired with the right technique make the right solution.
Tools are widely debated. There are extremists on both sides who think that nothing should be used but a harness and treats while others believe in only ecollar and no treats. Whats the right answer -- it depends.
It depends on many factors. Age of the dog, temperament of the dog, temperament of the handler, physical attributes of the dog and the handler, and your goals. ONLY YOU can make the decision about what tools you will consider for your dog and your family -- even when a trainer recommends something, you should do your homework and get the facts.
At The K9 Coach, we recommend you begin with the least corrective level possible. Progress to a different tool, if and only if, you are not making significant progress with proper training, essential consistency and daily practice. Its up to you as much as it is the dog to respond efffectively to training. Dont blame your dog for your lack of effort & do not short cut your training methods and time frame.
Every training tool requires proper fitting and appropriate instruction on usage to prevent injury and to achieve the best results possible. Many take some time to acclimate the dog to the tool on their body or face and when and how it will be used. We must be fair and consistent. And we must provide the dog the ability to be successful and earn reward & praise for a job well done.
You should always train the dog what to do and how to do it before you begin any sort of correction method. There must be consistency and clear, effective communication between owner and handler. It simply cannot just be a punitive device.
All tools should be considered a teaching aid with the goal not requiring that tool in the future and having a reliable dog whether he has on a training tool or not. Off-leash should be your ultimate goal. Teach your dog what TO do as well as what NOT to do. Balance your training equation.
