Everything you need to know about E Collar Training

Please do yourself a favor and do not use an e-collar before spending 20 to 30 min reading this book first.Larry is amazing explaining on how to train your dog the proper way using an e-collar.If you do it right from the beginning you are going to have a happy well behaved dog.

My dog had come from a board and train situation which was not positive balanced (thought they said they were) and was not only obeying the ecollar out of “fear” when he came home to us, but would protest having the collar put on for the same reason. We are retraining him ourselves using Larry’s method and, although we are only in the conditioning phase, his response to the collar is night and day different. He does not mind having it put on now as he sees it as freedom- and he happily comes to us on the lowest setting as well- The double tap to “call him” from far away during the conditioning phase is all we need and he comes excited. He is making wonderful progress and is no longer afraid of the ecollar. Our property is large. We are able to use the ecollar as it was intended to be used- not as punishment, but as a “recall” tool to notify him its time to come back to us when he is out of “ear shot” and cannot hear our voice. Thank you Larry!

I was recommended this book by the founder of the rescue I foster through. He wanted me to have a better understanding of why/how collar training should be used and implemented. This book while a quick read gives so much information in a easy to understand format. Definitely made my understanding of the collar much higher prior to ever having on placed on my dog

I'm grateful for Larrys style of teaching with the e collar only using it at a stimulation level to get the dogs attention. And very happy about the fact that he's doing his duty to promote proper use of the ecollar. This book is good for the beginner to introduce the dog to the e collar. That's about it. Do not buy this book expecting to learn anything about teaching the dog any types of commands. You are much better off watching his videos. In all honesty the book is very misleading with this title. It should be titled.. " Introducing your dog to the ECollar". It is NO WAY near "everything you need to know". Also the way it is written is very confusing. I actually wanted a highlighter just so I could go back and see only the useful info. He starts telling you a process, then starts telling a story from the past, then goes back to the process. This book should be reorganized. I felt like I was hearing someone tell me a story over a beer and was constantly going off track. I can appreciate him for who he is. However when you're writing a book that people pay for especially to train a dog with a tool that could potentiality harm them if not used properly, I would take more time with it before releasing it. Also leave out the part about the Kangal dog. The book honestly should be 3 stars. The 4th is for the fact that he promotes proper use and stresses that training should be done without it first, and the ecollar is to hone an already trained dog. I feel many were hoping to find out how in this book, however you won't.

I give this book to every client that buys an e-collar from me. Very straightforward and easy to read and implement when I can't be there to answer questions.

I was a little disappointed when I got this guide and it wasn't as thick as I prepared for. But it is EXACTLY what I needed. I have a 14 month old pit who cannot focus around people even after expensive training courses I've taken with him and almost one year of training at home with him.I had been wary of using an e collar but was confident enough in his temperament that I purchased one but was afraid to start, even after watching a lot of videos. Especially since my dog understands his commands, he just doesn't always want to do them.This book is a quick reference to understanding how to use the collar. And the basic premise of the book is to help you incorporate it into your already existing training methods. The collar should not fear the dog into acting, it should simply be a reminder to the dog to perform the task given to them.There are do's and don't's. Basic rules as to how you should work up to working off leash. This was one of the biggest things I needed. Was glad to see it written out. He also mentions "act of God corrections" which is something else I needed to know that I'm glad he addressed, since I hadn't seen that mentioned in any sort of training video I watched.It's a handy guide and I'm glad I purchased it. It has given me more confidence in using the collar. Larry preaches building a connection between your dog and yourself, with the collar being an extension of that. The more you work with your dog and the collar, the more he is going to trust you and the more powerful your relationship is going to be.If you want a guide to fully training your dog from day one, DO NOT start here. If you have a semi trained dog that needs the extra help of an e collar to help he/she live a more enriched life, this is an amazing little tool that I would highly recommend purchasing.

This is a reasonable introduction to ecollars. I think I would have gotten more out of it if I had not had previous knowledge. A little too many tangets and talk on all kinds of training that had nothing to do with ecollars just so he could brag about how little corrections he gives.

This is a great book for those of us that want to use our training collars humanely. It is a small book, as some have commented. But it talks about what is needed and is pretty clear. It is not organized the way I would have done it, not many things are, but if you read it a few times it all sinks in. If you genuinely want to train your dog without breaking its spirit this methology has worked for me on my 6 month old border collie.

One of the best dog training books you can get. This is only one small but important aspect of what Larry Krohn has to offer. Follow his videos on YouTube and enjoy training and having a perfect dog.Also, read any of the books from the "Monks of New Skete.

Este libro es para una orientación más amplia si empiezas a usar e collar pero creo recomendable que sea como complemento a la dirección de un entrenador canino. Te ayuda a entender mejor el porqué pero no reemplaza al coach. Muy fácil de leer pues lo explica con lenguaje accesible y no tan técnico

Bra info av en mycket duktig och pedagogisk tränare som jag följt i flera år . Rekommenderas varmt

Easy instructions, great book for anyone who wants to use ecollars. Larry is a knowledgeable trainer. Highly recommended. 5 out of 5 stars

A must read to anyone thinking on doing e-collar work. His view on using obedience to teach a dog how to understand the stimulus of an ecollar was unique to me, as well as the usage as a "positive reinforcement". Lots of real case analysis that can help you with a wide range of dog issues.
