hi I’m Jay Paul Jackson of Lonoke
retrievers in Dyersburg Tennessee
congratulations on your purchase of a
nutria onyx electronic training collar
the purpose of this video is to help get
you started down the right road of good
electronic collar use in the beginning
using an electronic collar can be a
little bit intimidating however when
used properly the collar can be one of
the most effective training tools you
have in helping your dog reach his full
potential the fact that you’ve taken the
time to watch this video shows you care
about using it properly and we hope in
this video to show you how to train your
dog some basic commands utilizing your
new collar let’s get started by putting
the collar on the dog I like to attach
the collar high on the dog’s neck and in
a nice snug position all try Tronics
collars come from the factory with both
short and long contact points should
your dog have a very dense or a long
coat you may want to replace those short
contact points with the longer ones it’s
also appropriate at this time to mention
collar wiseness that is to say the dog
that knows when the collar zone and
gives the appropriate behavior but then
reverts to undesired behavior when it’s
off in order to avoid this common
problem it’s very very important that
you have the dog wear the collar at all
times during the early training stages
another form of collar wiseness is the
dog that’s collar shy again to avoid
this you want to have the dog wear the
collar at all times in training and you
want to adhere to a sound collar
training program not leaving any steps
out let’s talk a little bit about
choosing the appropriate intensity level
of stimulation for your dog I like to
start my dogs on the lowest level of
stimulation and gradually work my way up
until I get a good positive reaction
from the dog this can be indicated by a
simple ear twitch a little Bob of the
head something to let me know that the
dog fills the stimulation
without actually being overwhelmed by
vocalization is usually an indication
that the intensity level is too high and
should be turned down a little bit if
watch your dog closely you will learn
over time what stimulation level works
best for him and helping him to learn as
a professional trainer
I like the try tronics pro 200 model
however all Trotter onyx models can be
used very effectively in teaching basic
commands dogs learn in a couple of
different ways first they learn by
association and in this video you’re
going to see some examples of that
primarily however dogs learn through
repetition that’s why any good training
program takes a systematic step-by-step
approach it’s very important to keep
repeating those steps until your dog has
learned the desired behavior it’s
equally important to incorporate praise
into all of your training it helps keep
the dog with an upbeat attitude and
let’s face it it makes training a whole
lot more fun for both you and the animal
in that right buddy
good boy before we begin training with
the collar we first need to teach the
dog a few basic obedience commands on
lead namely he’ll sit stay and here we
begin with the heel command on lead
because it allows us to gain a little
bit of control over the dog from there
we progress to the sit stay command and
finally perhaps the most important
obedience command of all the here
command so let’s get started with the
heel command heel heel good girl
heel when teaching the dog he’ll heel we
want to be sure and give her plenty of
encouragement for a job well done
heel we want the dog during this
training to learn to walk along beside
it’s calmly on the slack lead heel the
dog should not lag along behind heel
heel but the dog should also not walk
the handler heel could go good girl
heel good girl heel good once the dog
becomes comfortable walking at our side
on lead it’s time to progress on to the
sit stay command heel good girl we teach
sit stay while the dog is walking in our
side heel by gently tugging up on the
lead and giving the command like so sit
good
girl heel good girl heel heel sit good
good girl heel good girl sit good girl
heel good heel good girl
sit during this training we’re telling
the dog to sit heel and stay is implied
heel good girl good girl heel sit after
the dog learns to reliably sit upon
command it’s time to move on to the here
portion of the training sit we want to
first sit the dog out in front of us
move awaits it move what see it move
away from the dog and encourage her to
come here with a gentle tug on the lead
good girl good girl
remember to incorporate plenty of praise
into your training here good girl sit
sit here because we want the dog to know
that coming to us when called it’s the
greatest thing she can ever do good girl
heel good
