@tashi was that intentionally supposed to come off as a snide comment or was that just inadvertent? My dog walks on a loose leash, ignores other dogs and people when i tell it to and can sit in a room with a bunch of other dogs off leash and hold a stay. he stops at thresholds for me. knows...

@tashi the point of the post was looking for advice/suggestions on how to work through it, not give up completely.

@axolotl i will check for irritation/sores. It definitely works properly i tried it on my self and test it pretty regularly.

@imagebeastmarkbeast i have a pretty good understanding of how to layer pressure into the training and he responds well to it but if you have a good specific resource/video in mind i'd be happy to check it ou. because this collar has so many contact points, i can just add more to reduce the...

@imagebeastmarkbeast Its a few hours since and i took him out for a potty break and did some heeling and recalls with no e collar on, tons of enthusiasm and when released he just wanted to run around insanely like a bat out of hell, tons of energy. Did you watch the second video to the point...

@xyz2412 haha indeed! if you have any other questions let me know!

@xyz2412 yea i mean theres ssomething to be said for 100/100+ stim levels which is nice but honestly I've never noticed a point where it goes from the dog blows it off and then you go up one and he yelps or something. having that level of precision is nice but it seems like overkill to me. in a...

@imagebeastmarkbeast i rewarded with high value food every time the e collar was used. here are the videos since google drive doesn't work apparently:

@7thdayrest yes exactly, i noticed the body shake which indicates exactly what you described, and no, i was not 'using' it at all during the video, it was merely physically on him. I will try that for now i think. Thank you, much appreciated!

@xyz2412 haha thanks i honestly love tinkering with stuff and modding things so its fun. Its hard to find info on these because almost everyone gets mini educators and dogtra so I'll give you everything i know. Larry does have a video on them but its not that specific. so theres a few combos...

@nyr94 yes i tried it on my skin i actually put it on my neck. 1 is liek a barely perceptible tickle on the neck, 2 is a tiny bit more intense, 3 is a very slight sting, 4 is where you start to actually have a bit of muscle twitch but not pain. 5 is a pretty strong muscle twtich when engaged...

@xyz2412 thanks! yeah i can tend to get carried away. i started off with a mini educator got frustrated with not being able to make consistent contact through his pomsky mane and somehow wound up here lol.

@the_family_monastery yeah I think I basically just spent too much time in the conditioning phase thinking it would help but it was just becoming confusing for him. I switched to only nick if non compliance after the command and he seems better already.

@xyz2412 you have the right idea especially if you are following larry krohns method. it worked really well for my dog. i'd wait till she's not in heat though. 7 months is not too young, i'd say six+ is fine but it obviously depends on the dog. I have the Martin Systems Chameleon III and i...

@kakumei and also yea, i was thinking maybe its just the 'fear' period though. he got spooked by the bike at first but we worked through it and he enjoys running along with the bike now. its just weird how he will snap out of it as soon as its off. (i dont normally just take it off if he's being...

@kakumei yes i've been doing a ton of stays (his stay requires a physical release and i dont care whether he stands, sits, or lays down but he can't move) and then his sit and down are both implied stays meaning hold the command until i release you or giev you another command but he'll take a...

I have been conditioning my dog to the e collar for about a month now. following larry krohns method and everything was going fine until recently he started just shutting down whenever its physically on him. since i've been conditioning it i have been basically putting it on him all the time...

@rorypond haha excellent. it was so satisfying to do with what i had yesterday. It seems to have less CFM than the other models in the price range (metro air blaster, flying pig) but claims higher velocity (i guess the nozzle or hose is smaller?) Interestingly enough the k9 III actually has...

@rorypond so it can easily blow out the undercoat without needing to manually brush it like in the youtube video i linked at the bottom of the OP?

@rorypond interesting, now i'm seeing another figure FPM... and i realize that the shernbao actually has 61k FPM whereas the flying pig and the metro are both mid-high 20k FPM. It seems like this would be pretty important in terms of really focusing the air in tight areas to blow out the...
