Helping your bird dog
Bird dogs are sometimes soft of attitude so an easy introduction to the e-collar is essential. Adjust the transmitter to the lowest level of stimulation for which a slight response is seen.
Refrain from using e-collar corrections while on point or during a retrieve so the dog does not associate the correction with the bird.
When teaching whistle commands and hand signals give the dog one chance to do it correctly. Then, if the correction is to be given make it correspond to the whistle (time and duration) using the continuous control on your transmitter. By using this method your bird dog will quickly associate the correction to the whistle and hand signal. Praise your dog after the task has been successfully completed. In this method the whistle makes the correction and never the trainer.
E-Collar
Timing is important in giving the dog a correction in the field
Just the same as in training, try to coordinate stimulation quickly after the dog fails to follow a command. Give the correction quickly and repeat the command.
A dog that seems to almost cower at times when wearing the collar while hunting
The dog must be motivated to have a good hunt. You want him to like his job. Be sure to use lots of “fun bumpers” in training and lots of encouraging praise and “good dog” excited voice in both training and hunting. Remember the dog wants to work for and with you. Be calm and don’t yell. Be positive and don’t overdo. Concentrate on the dog’s behavior.
Using the e-collar in the water versus on Land
Do not go overboard or too heavily on corrections in the water. Go with a lighter nick and see if you get the desired result.
Not getting any response from a Golden Retriever when using the stim buttons
The collars come with short contact points installed from the factory. Replace the short points with the long points that are included in the package and make sure the collar is on tight enough so it will not move around the dog’s neck.
Collar tightness while hunting
The collar should not rotate on the dog’s neck. Two fingers (flat) should be able to go under/between the collar and the neck.
Using a collar while hunting
Remote training collars work well while hunting. However, be sure to teach the dog the commands before taking it hunting. Use the collar to enforce the command after the dog has been taught. Example: When training a dog to be steady, work the dog with a short check cord holding him back. The dog learns that he must wait until he is sent. After the dog understands he must wait, then we can use direct pressure to correct the dog if he moves before being sent. This is all done before the dog is taken into the field.
