Which should you train your dog to learn first? The remote trainer or the underground fence barrier?

We bought an underground fence with a collar that also can be used as a remote trainer. Should we train the dog to learn the electric fence barrier or start by using the remote trainer. (Will the dog be confused if we start one before the other?)

Neither.

The remote trainer is far too easily misused and IMO should not even be available to the general public. They are only useful for training hunting dogs who are working hundreds of yards away from their handlers, and then they are used only sparingly. Electric collars can only give your dog punishment. While he's being trained, he should get a minimum of punishment and a maximum of praise. The collar can't do that.

I read of a training club that rented a zap collar to teach their tracking dogs to be afraid of snakes, since their area (Florida) had many kinds. They put a rattler in a cage, collared the dogs one at a time, and let the dog find the cage. When the dog approached the cage, and the snake moved, the handler zapped the dog at full power. Many of the dogs cried and ran for their owners... but they never again would willingly approach a snake, and that was the point of the exercise: to save the dogs from dying of snakebite.

Invisible fences only confine small and meek-willed dogs. Any dog chasing a squirrel is going to run right through the fence and then, if the dog survives and tries to come home, the fence will punish the dog for trying to come home. And they don't protect your dog from stray dogs, wild animals or humans bent on hurting or stealing your dog.

Return them both and get your money back. Invest instead in a plain buckle or martingale collar and three leashs: 6ft, 12ft and 30ft. Buy a real wire fence and T-posts to put it up.

Take the money you have left and take the puppy to puppy kindergarten and then to beginners obedience classes. It's much more effective than an electric collar.

Electronic dog collars have come a long way in the past 50 years to a stage where they are very sophisticated pieces of dog training equipment.

There was a time when they were referred to as shock collars and for very good reason. If the same style of collar was used today then there would be a large huon cry among animal lovers.

Today's electronic dog collars don't shock; in fact, they are described as using a stimulating sensor which the dog at any given level of training knows when to respond to.

Does One Size Collar Fit All?

There is a misconception that one collar will suit all types of dogs. This is not exactly true. You see, each dog has a differently personality and has different levels of tolerance. Some dogs are happy-go-lucky while others convey a gruff exterior and aren't as easy to get along with.

Researchers understood this when designing electronic dog collars and had to incorporate this into the product. Different sensitivities and tolerances had to be catered to so a collar had to have levels of adjustment built in to enable a trainer to adjust it to reflect an individual dog's sensitivity.

The beauty with having this type of flexibility within the collar's structure means trainers now have the ability to correct the behavior of the dog in question by simply altering the levels of stimulation within the collar.

Suddenly, the options for trainers increased in regards to remote training situations. The use of electronic dog collars in obedience class situations and competitions has increased. In fact, in the area of competition, they have been invaluable in a dog's lead up preparation.

Competitions can be distracting for dogs in a number of ways and no matter how obedient a canine appears to be, most will agree their levels of concentration can sometimes be tested.

When a dog first enters training, electronic collars are used to encourage the animal to recognize the right actions with the appropriate commands. Again, the speed at which this is achieved depends a lot on the temperament of the canine.

Those with quality temperaments will learn quickly especially learning to negotiate obstacle courses while others with lesser temperaments will take a little longer. The aim of using the electronic equipment is to train the dog to get into a habit until the training it receives is committed to memory.

The aim of the trainer is to get his animal to stage where the collar is permanently removed. By this time, it is then ready to enter the field of competition.
