Teaching Dogs to Respond Quickly to Commands


Summary


Dear Adam,

I've read the first 125 pages of your book and noticed several references to a "training collar." Could you clarify if you mean a pinch collar or one that delivers a shock? Your methods have been very successful for us. The "get busy" command has worked within three days for bathroom training, and our dog sits well, though he occasionally needs a hand signal. We're currently teaching him the down position. The book has been truly inspiring. I have one more question: We recently installed an invisible fence for our 33-pound, 15-week-old English yellow Lab. When should we start using it?

Thanks,
Brian

Dear Brian,

Thank you for reaching out.

When I mention a "training collar," I'm generally referring to a pinch collar.

Regarding the "sit" command, it's important to give the command before applying any correction. Waiting to see if the dog complies first will inadvertently teach him that slow responses are acceptable, which isn't our goal. We want to instill quick, immediate responses.

Once your dog is reliably responsive and anticipates the command before the correction, you can scale back on corrections.

As for the invisible fence, I'd recommend waiting until he's around 6 to 7 months old.

Best,
Adam
