like an undoable task but if you will train consistently, it will take
only a short time.
Substitution: This is where we use a stimulus to cause a response
and then add another stimulus simultaneously until the second
stimulus evokes the same response as the first. You might
remember Dr. Pavlov’s work with ringing the dinner bell as he was
feeding his dog. It did not take long before simply ringing the
dinner bell caused the dog to salivate. You will use this same
practice in training your dog, beginning with a leash, progressing to
words and then finishing with electrical stimulation. It may sound
overwhelming right now but you will be successful and your dog
will accept this without question if you follow the steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the stimulation safe for my dog? While the stimulation is
unpleasant (it produces a static shock like we sometimes
experience as humans), it is harmless to your dog. These
devices also require interaction and training from the owner
to achieve desired results.
