How to train your dog the easy way – dog remote trainers and dog training collars


Do you have a dog with a problem behaviour? Maybe they dig all your roses up, chew your shoes or sofa, jump up at people all the time, kill wildlife in your garden or try to hump your male friends?

Well fear not – because dog remote trainers are here to help. Unfortunately, dog remote trainers are not little men who pop out of nowhere to correct your dog’s bad behaviour. They are an advanced technology involving dog training collars with a remote control - which makes it an awesome piece of gear to fix problem behaviours.

You might be happy to know that professional trainers use these dog training collars, so they must be good at making your dog behave.

HOW DOG TRAINING COLLARS WORK
Your dog wears a receiver on their collar and you have a remote control. Every time you see your dog doing something they shouldn’t – something important like digging massive holes in your yard, not looking at you cross-eyed – you press the remote control and they get a harmless, but seriously uncomfortable stimulation.

They soon learn that what they are doing is no longer a good idea. These dog remote trainers are also great if you are teaching your dog to walk off-lead as they associate the stimulation with a command.

The key to making this work is that you are consistent and that you do not abuse it. You should only use the dog training collars to correct inappropriate behaviour, not for amusement or to abuse your dog. I know you would never do that, but there are some people that may.

So whenever you buy one of these dog remote trainers be sure that you are doing it for the right reasons. And keep the remote out of the hands of young children or people who may think it funny to zip zap your poor dog for no good reason.

Wandering dog containment systems and stop barking collars for dogs


If you have a problem dog, one way to fix them is to pay for one-on-one consultations with a pet expert or book them into a boarding kennel which will train them for you, but both of these can cost a pretty penny.

Other options for common problems, such as roaming dogs or nuisance barking, are dog containment systems (dog containment fence) for wandering dogs and stop barking collars for dogs with excessive barking.


DOG CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS
Properties that are inadequately fenced are great for dogs that like to wander through the neighbourhood. Sometimes the dog digs under a perfectly good fence, escapes through an open gate or the property can be far too large to fence well enough to stop a dog wandering.

Dog containment systems solve these problems by having a wire that runs around your property line or smaller defined area on large properties. This creates a dog containment fence (it can be buried as well) and a FM radio frequency is then run through the wire with a receiver attached to your dog’s collar.

The collar beeps when the dog comes close to the wire and gives them a harmless stimulation if they don’t stop. Dogs aren’t completely daft – they soon learn to wander the fence line at just the right distance so they don’t get stimulated by the collar. Many people find they can remove the receiver after a while and their dog still stays within their perimeter line.


STOP BARKING COLLARS FOR DOGS
Nuisance barking during the day or night, sometimes can’t be stopped even with training, long walks before you go to work and lots of toys to keep them busy during the day.

Stop barking collars for dogs are similar to the dog containment fences. When your dog barks the sensor on their collar beeps and if they don’t stop barking, gives them a stimulation after 30 seconds.  Continual barking within 30 seconds gives them an increasing level of stimulation. As with the dog containment systems, they learn very quickly that barking after a beep is not very clever.
