Part Of Our Morning Walk
“Our walks start with a few short drills now. I keep treats in my pocket and the remote in my hand before we head to the park.”
The first setting is just a beep sound from the collar. Some owners never need anything more.
You choose what your dog feels. Next up is vibration, a buzz like a phone on silent. For emergencies, like a dash towards a road, there's a mild stimulation setting that starts at level 1 of 99.
Give a treat every time they come back, and soon they stop and focus on you whenever they hear that sound.
A few words from the humans holding the remote.
“Our walks start with a few short drills now. I keep treats in my pocket and the remote in my hand before we head to the park.”
“My kelpie gets keen on the trail. We do a few calls on the long leash first. The remote is small enough to keep in my hand.”
“We started in the garden with short calls and lots of treats. I like having the beep button in one place. It is now part of our training kit by the door.”
“I got used to the screen and buttons at home first. Then I added the remote to the short sessions we do in the park.”
“This remote stays with me. We keep the calls short and reward each good one, so I can stay focused on my dog.”
“I keep the remote and leash by the door. We charge the kit at home and take it for our usual practice. That simple habit helps us stick with a plan.”
