Week 4 Ecollar Cheat Sheet

   

Mannerly Mutts E-Collar Usage Notes (Educator)

  
  1. Turning E-Collar on and off.
    1. Two red dots (one on collar and one on remote) are magnets.  This turns off (or on) the collar only.
    2. Line them up.
    3. Test with vibration button, which is the lone button on the side
2.  Turning the remote on and off
                a.  Large button on back turns off collar (small button changes mode so don't touch that).
                b.  Hold the large button down until you see the screen on the front come on (or go off if                           you are shutting it off for the evening.
  1. Charging E-Collar Daily.
    1. Turn collar off AND remote before putting it on charger.
    2. Charger used with collar and remote.
    3. Round hole covered by rubber in back or side (remote) is where it plus in.
  2. Correct fastening of the E-Collar.
    1. Should be very tight around dog’s neck.   You will think it’s too tight, but should not cut off air supply or interfere with eating or swallowing. (Would be very hard to do).   Note:  I would put a dab of nail polish where it should be.
    2. Metal points on back need to be flush with neck in order for the correct level of stimulation to get to the dog.
    3. NEVER EVER FASTEN LEASH TO E-COLLAR.   LEASH SHOULD ALWAYS BE FASTENED TO FLAT COLLAR (or metal training collar).  OTHERWISE LEASH PRESSURE POINTS ON E-COLLAR ARE TOO MUCH FOR DOG, AS THERE IS NO EVEN PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION.
  3.   What are the problems of not fastening the E-collar correctly?
    1. Irritation to the neck.
    2. Arks caused by electrical stim not contacting correctly, or no stim at all.   Inconsistent and wrong corrections.

Week 1 Long Place

  Explanation and Goal:   This teaches your dog that you might very well be in a seated position when they are in a place (while the third step has started the idea that you may be moving around the room).   This is tricky for dogs as they usually want to be petted or cuddled when you take a seat, but it is important that owners have time to read, work, eat a meal, and so on without constantly needing to pay attention to their dog.   Usually this is eventually used for a half hour or an hour.  It is like a crate without walls.  It allows your dog to feel more included, but they are responsible for staying there until released.  This command is valuable when you need to move them out of the way to do chores and/or you have company over.     Long place is technically the 4th step in teaching the place command:      First step is intro.  Intro is just walking the dog and letting them pass over it.  "Place"...
