GENERAL TRAINING TIPS
Getting started with your iQ Plus
Your dog must know some very basic
obedience commands before beginning
training with the iQ Plus. A dog learns
by first being shown a command,
followed by lots of repetition over an
extended period. As the dog becomes
proficient at these commands, the trainer
can introduce distractions and different
locations to strengthen them. Throw in the
correct amount of positive and negative
reinforcement and you should end up with
a well-mannered dog.
Obedience training on the leash
Your dog must fully understand the
obedience commands (sit, stay, here, heel
and kennel) before using the e-collar for
reinforcement of these commands. A
leash attached to standard collar is used
to "teach" the dog the basic obedience
commands (here, heel, sit, and stay). A tug
on the leash/collar is used to reinforce the
command. When the dog complies with
the command, use positive reinforcement/
praise. Once the dog understands these
commands, the e-collar can be used to
reinforce them.
