Frequently Asked Questions About Remote Collars
What is an E-Collar?
An E-Collar- also called a remote collar and short for electronic collar-is a dog training system that consists of a wireless remote and a wireless receiver. E-Collars allow you to remotely send a signal to your dog to clearly communicate the difference between yes (good behavior) from no (bad behavior).
Are e-collars safe?
Yes, remote collars are safe and utilize similar technology used in human physical therapy practice for muscle stimulation. We exclusively use remote collars made by E-Collar Technologies. The brand offers a unique calibration with the lowest level signal not even detectable on human skin but effective for training dogs. The signal becomes a virtual leash that allows excellent and safe communication. We have found that other branded remote collars can be calibrated too high or with inconsistent delivery of signal. Collars from E-Collar Technologies are the best calibrated remote collars for training family dogs. You can read more on their website and on our blog.
Why do you use e-collars for dog training?
When recommended, Dog Coach teaches e-collar training for the fastest, most effective way to teach your dog to pay attention to your commands. Remote collars are also an excellent way to promote an all-important calm and stable state of mind for your dog. Dogs look to owners to set parameters for good behavior in the clearest way possible so they can follow through on the basic expectations we hold for them. This can be done through the e-collar signal used as an extension of your commands. The Dog Coach Remote Collar Program trains owners to understand and anticipate their dog’s excitement level and teaches a humane and appropriate response.
I already own an e-collar, can I use it?
We are happy to work with owner-supplied E-Collar Technologies collars. We offer an equipment discount for supplying your own remote collar.
Will the e-collar help with barking and whining?
Training your dog to recognize and understand the meaning of the low-level e-collar signal allows any handler in the family to convey a precise and appropriate signal to stop unwanted behaviors, from barking and whining to jumping and pulling.
Is the remote collar waterproof?
E-Collar Technologies collars are water resistant and can safely be used in the rain, on the water, and while your dog is swimming. The collar does not float however.
Do you use tone or vibrate to train dogs?
We exclusively work with the e-collar signal function and do not train using tone or vibrate. Neither tone nor vibrate have different levels to respond to the highly variable excitement of certain dogs. We show you the effectiveness of the wide signal range the collar offers to communicate clearly with your dog.
Is an e-collar a shock collar?
Historically, electronic collars delivered a much higher signal to the dog. When the term “shock” is used, the concept of the collar is misunderstood. E-Collar Technologies collars allow the delivery of low-level signal that can be undetected by the human hand. It is just a slight stim to remind your dog to pay attention or knock off the poor behavior. With consistent and appropriate low-level use, dogs make better behavior choices and the need to give any e-collar signal is reduced.
Humane & Effective Dog Training
Training your dog with a remote collar is safe and extremely effective in creating a consistent and calm mind state, an essential starting point for all training. Modern low-level remote collars are very different in that electronic collars for dogs originally could not be adjusted for slight stimulation. Now, adjustment and control with E-Collar Technologies patented collars can be dialed in for the lowest level of reminder for your dog. The working level signal for many dogs cannot even be detected by the human hand.
Off-Leash Training
Remote collar (e-collar) training is ideal dog training that gives your dog freedom to run while having secure control that functions like an invisible leash. No previous dog training is necessary to begin enjoying all the advantages of this excellent way to communicate with your canine. Within five sessions, you can build up your skills and learn to train a more focused and attentive dog that always comes when called.
Fixing Bad Behavior to Have a Good Dog
Is your dog making bad choices, not listening to you, often uncontrollable, or easily over-excited and supercharged? If any of these dog behaviors are part of your day you are likely missing out on a big part of the fun of owning a dog. Remote collar training with Dog Coach can put the fun back into the dog-loving lifestyle you have been searching for.
“We had a great experience with Dog Coach! Our 108 lb. Lab/Mastiff rescue, Finn, was hard to handle, but they gave us the tools to manage him. Now we can walk him in public, have guests over, and take him to the vet without issues. I can even work from home in peace!
It was amazing to see Finn improve each week. He wanted to succeed, and now he’s a happier dog. We love being with him again. I highly recommend Remote Collar Training for anyone struggling with their dog. Thank you!” – Cathy & Family
