As the dog becomes better trained, the use of an e-collar will gradually decrease. However, you should continue to have the dog
wear the collar until you feel certain that it is no longer needed to reinforce known commands. Abandoning the collar too early
can lead to problems in the future. Remembering to be fair and consistent in using the collar as a training tool will help you avoid
most problems, and it will allow you to help your dog reach his full potential.
