Sport Junior Dog Training Guide

Let’s recap Lesson One:
• Calling distance, around 20 feet
from you.
• Call when dog is facing away
from you
• Nick with stimulation
• Pull rope to turn him to you
• PRAISE as he comes to you
Repeat this sequence a few times dur-
ing your initial walk. Plan on about a 10
minute session for his first session.
Soon you should see your dog respond
extra quickly when he feels the nick.
This is the reaction you want because it
shows he’s trying to “beat the nick.” He
might also tend to keep an eye on you
and perhaps not range so readily to the
end of the rope. These are also signs he’s
starting to pick up on the pattern and un-
derstand the e-collar.
When you see this, stop nicking with
each command. If he needs a second
command, nick as you repeat the com-
mand. If he frequently needs the nick
because he failed to respond to the first
command, return to nicking with the first
command for a while.
Practice Lesson One for several sessions
in different training areas and be sure to
give your dog plenty
of praise when he
comes to you.
End your session
with a good play
period.
AGGRESSION
Aggression in dogs has many causes.
Social dominance, fearfulness, learned
behavior, and physical problems, as well
as other factors, can all be involved. In
some cases, aggression can be success-
fully treated with a remote trainer, fol-
lowing the proper procedure. In other
cases, however, correcting the aggressive
dog with a remote trainer is not appropri-
ate and will not be successful. Because
the causes of aggression can be so varied
and situations so unique, we recommend
that you consult a knowledgeable pro-
fessional dog trainer or animal behavior-
ist who has experience with aggressive
dogs. We do not recommend that you
use the remote trainer to treat your dog’s
aggression without first getting profes-
sional assistance.
TRAINING THE
“HERE” COMMAND
LESSON ONE
INTRODUCTION TO “HERE”
Put your dog on a rope or long line and
take him for a walk in a distraction-free
area. When he ranges ahead and is fac-
ing away from you, call him and follow
with a quick nick of stimulation. Guide
him to you with the rope. Praise him as
he comes to you. Praise again when he
gets to you.
