The choices are , short spray, longer spray and a soft tone to use during good behavior. When she calmed down and sat, I pressed the tone option and gave the reward. My aim is to eventually have her at a place where she will see another dog and instead of going crazy, will sit and wait for a treat as opposed to getting a spray in the face. Well I can dream can't I? LOL
You mentioned two other products in your response. I am not familiar with either one. I wanted a remote because, we take Lola on the beach almost every day and this works up to 250 feet away. Most of the dogs on the beach are so well behaved. I am always embarassed by her behavior. She is only off leash when no one is around. Now, providing this is the answer, she will not be as nasty when she sees another dog and I won't have to be as nervous if a dog does appear in the distance.
This is all very new, I'll keep you posted. Thanks for responding. |
Tritronics and Dogtra are the two best brands of Ecollar. Read what Lblax is telling you, I think you've accidently reinforced the bad behavior. Don't reward her until she is avoiding looking at another dog on her own and hopefully looking to you. One nice thing to think about with an ecollar is you can give a correction without showing any emotion, nice and calm on your end. The timing can be easier and when she knows what the correction is for you can use a low enough level that people probably won't even know whats going on.
