Anyone stepped away from using the e collar and then gone back to it? Or started using one well after the basic training phase is past?
Tips on going back to using an e collar after several months not using one?
Got the mini educator ET-300ZEN and starting to get myself familiar with it. Don't plan to use it for a couple more weeks, just trying to get myself as educated as possible on the collar. I don't want to screw up the progress we have made.
The last couple of weeks....drilling home the basics again..is working.
His focus is getting much better, his response time to a command is getting better....in a controlled environment....the yard or what little bit of work area we have here near the house. We haven't ventured out away from the "known" areas at all.
Pinch collar is helping a lot with the getting distracted/ tugging while walking, he doesn't like it......but he is cooperating.
We used an e collar from about 14 to 23 months, but it was a malfunctioning piece of junk , it got to the point it wouldn't hold a charge for more than a couple of hours and I just gave up. At that point he was doing well with recall and focus and the collar just didn't seem necessary but UGH..hind site is 20/20...firdmanshore.
