Advanced Training Tips For Refining Your Dog

Tom asked me some very interesting questions regarding his dog training, here are some of the questions and their respective answers:Hello Trevor;I have noticed the substance behind your advice regarding the buckle collar. It seems, Dog Tip, that if he is wearing this collar permanently, he will become used to it and soon forget all about it. This issue bothers me a bit because I would like to have the dog behave himself regardless of the type of collar he is wearing. All this fuzz between the buckle collar and the pinch collar is a bit confusing, and if by chance the pet owner were to forget which one to use at any particular time he would lose control of the dog, not to mention ruining his training.



[Trevor Replies] That is not quite right, taking off the collar for a while will not affect the dog to much, and he certainly will not forget his training.I was wondering if you ever went back to using the buckle collar on a dog that is happy with his training, and seems to be obeying his commands.[Trevor Replies] I certainly, Dog Tip, do, a dog that is happy with, Dog Tip, his training will obey and perform his, Dog Tip, commands, however, in time he will become tempted and this id when reconditioning needs to take place.



We become unconsciously accustomed to certain, Dog Tip, behavior no matter the circumstances. For example, when you wake up in the morning and walk to the bathroom, you turn to the right door every morning, never to the left door, which is the way out. However, if you where to sleep in a different room where the circumstances where different, say the bathroom door was on the left, you would probably continue reaching for the right door and find yourself in the hallway more often than not. Changing these pre conceived notions of your surroundings is what we call reconditioning.



Making your mind aware of certain changes so that it reacts accordingly.In many ways you could compare the example above with the issue with the pinch and buckle collar. When the dog becomes comfortable with the pinch collar, he will no longer notice that a discomfort is there. Changing the surrounding circumstances will make him aware of differences and the need for reconditioning will arise. If you switch a dog back to the buckle collar, you will be allowing yourself and the dog to use the pinch collar again sometime in the future with certain degree of effectiveness.
