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.
Beginning electric collar training
When you feel your dog understands
the obedience commands on the leash
we can now start with the electric collar
training. With the dog on the leash
wearing the electric collar continue with
your obedience drills. Light stimulation
(nick or constant) is going to be applied
as a command is given, the stimulation is
removed as the dog complies. Through
repetition, a dog learns to turn off the light
stimulation by performing the command.
E-collar training is another form of
negative reinforcement, similar to the
leash and standard collar training. When
the dog complies with the command,
