Introduction to Remote Collar Training for Dogs

The initial stage of remote collar training for dogs involves short sessions of 5 to 10 minutes where the dog is called towards the owner and rewarded with food to create a positive association with the collar sensation. Common mistakes include releasing the long line too early, so it's crucial to start with a short leash and gradually progress to a longer line for recall training. The dog should be familiar with the collar and how to respond to it before any corrections are introduced. The long line is used for accountability in the early stages, ensuring the dog comprehends the training before advancing. The long line is gradually phased out over the first four days of training, leading to more realistic recalls. Consistent practice multiple times a day typically results in successfully introducing the remote collar within a week and mastering it within two weeks.
