I set out to do a podcast episode explaining why I choose not to use an electric collar with my dogs and with my students' dogs. It sent me down a spiral of research and careful consideration. So, after nearly 40 hours reviewing videos from trainers who use e-collars, I'm sharing observations about the wide spectrum of electric collar use in the training world. From excellent conditioning protocols to concerning misuse, what I discovered may surprise both those who use shock collars and those who don't.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
• About hours spent watching videos of training with electric collars. • The types of electric devices available for dog training. • About the growing e-collar market in North America. • My thoughts about bans on dog training tools. • About the possibilities of learning from each other. • My observations on the use of shock collars. • The question of dopamine and what’s really being reinforced for the trainer. • Why all dogs need solid training foundations and layered learning. • How reducing the divide in dog training helps us all.
