Dog trainer Alissa Short tells us her tips and tricks for puppy training!

In this episode, Alissa explains how to train dogs to do one of the longest, most complicated obedience command training processes: recall.

Recall is when your dog comes back to you every time that you call him/her, regardless of distractions in the surrounding environment. 

Alissa says that recall is one of the most common reasons that people seek out her training services. Off-leash recall reliability is one of the #1 reasons that dog owners choose remote-control electric collar training. In this episode, Alissa explains how to do the remote collar training process to achieve consistent, reliable recall with a dog.

In this episode, Alissa and Dona explain the E-Collar that Mountain Dog Spa uses for training.

These high-quality remote collars are from E-Collar Technologies, and they give dog owners the ability to control the level of stimulation. The levels range from 1-100, and most dogs are taught commands on levels in the single digits - the very lowest level that the dog can perceive. The patented blunt stimulation of the E-Collar speaks to dogs in a clear language they truly understand. 

Using low-level pressure-on-pressure-off theory, dogs in Mountain Dog Spa's balanced training program are able to learn skills such as reliable recall (coming back every time the owner calls him/her). 

Join in next week as we build upon the ideas discussed in this E-Collar episode when Alissa teaches the step-by-step way to achieve a reliable recall with dogs.
