GENERAL TRAINING TIPS

Getting started with your iQ training collar
Your dog must know some very basic
obedience commands before beginning
training with the iQ. 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.
