The progression (in order)
Do not skip. The order is what keeps this safe.
- Step 0: On-leash foundations. Sit, Down, Come, Heel, and Place from leash pressure alone, plus loose-leash walking and thresholds.
- Step 1: Lowest level + off switch. Find the smallest level your dog feels, then teach that doing the command turns the pressure off.
- Step 2: Working level + leash. Pair stim with the leash so your dog already knows the way out. Spend the longest time here.
- Step 3: Fade the leash. Use the e-collar alone, and keep the correction level rare for blown known commands.
- Step 4: Proof on leash. Raise distraction one step at a time. Stay in proofing for the life of your dog.
- Step 5: Remove the leash. Start low risk. If anything falls apart, put the leash back on and return to Step 4.
Example training videos are linked throughout the handbook for each step.
Before you start
This program builds on leash work. Finish the on-leash foundations in the Board & Train Handbook before you begin.
If your dog is reactive, work through the Reactivity Handbook as well. The e-collar is never used to punish reactivity or other serious behavior problems. There is too much room for handler error.
