Step two for the place command: layer in the e-collar

Last week we showed you how to lure your dog onto the place cot with treats. Now we’re going to show you how we layer in the e-collar. This is the first step in teaching some great impulse control.

As with any new tool, we are taking things nice and slow for Hank and working him at a very low level on the e-collar. Any time he gets confused, we’re going to use the leash to help guide him into position.

If you are at all unsure of how to use an e-collar, please talk with a trainer before using it with your dog. It is so important that new tools are taught in a safe and fair manner so that your dog can truly succeed.
