Are you excited to begin training your family puppy? You may want to think about using an electronic collar, such as the Tri Tronics G2 for example. There are several methods to teach your dog and this method can prove quick and effective when used properly. Whether you are interested in eliminating negative behaviors such as jumping up and barking or you want to teach your pet commands, like how to heel, sit and stay, this remote method of dog training can lead your dog to obedience in no time.

Below are some strategies for effective remote dog collar training:

1. Follow the same step-by-step process every instance that you teach your dog a new command. If your dog already knows a command he can often be quite confused when it is used in conjunction with the collar, so developing a good method from the get go can help to alleviate| that potential confusion.

2. Break the training down into smaller tasks and keep them shorter. Dogs have small attention spans and will learn best when they are taught new behaviours in small steps.

3. Be consistent in your process of training and the standards that you expect from your dog.

4. Keep your focus on teaching your dog one command or action at a time. He will not be able to make the associations between the collar and the command if you are too scattered with your training process.

5. If your dog performs the command right, be sure to let him know by using praise.

6. If your pet seems confused by a order, make it simple so that he can feel successful. You want these training sessions to be a great experience for both you and your beloved pet.

7. Do not have the Tri Tronics Upland G2 (or any collar for that matter) set at a level of intensity that is too high when you first begin training. You will need to carefully test your animal’s sensitivity to the remote collar and you should begin with it on the lowest level.

8. Ideally you will want the beginning session to take place in an area with as little distractions as possible. He will not be able to concentrate and learn easily if there is too much going on around him.

9. To teach your dog to be realiable, you will want to add in some training around distractions later on as this really more closely mimics real life situations.

10. You will want to add those distractions gradually though as opposed to too much all at once and be sure that they are not the type of distractions that will scare your dog as this can definitely work against the training.

11. When you are training in the area of the distractions, it will most likely be necessary to set the collar at a higher level of intensity to get the results you are working to attain.

12. Your dog learns by repetition so you will want to repeat the training often especially at the start of the training process.

After your dog has a some good task successes, be sure to include play time as a part of your training events together. Always try to keep in mind that you want this time to be enjoyable for both you and your pet. The Tri Tronics Upland G2 EXP is a tool that takes your dog’s obedience skills to a whole new level. The process of remote dog training can be quick, fun and painless to implement.
