E-Collar Dog Training in Little Rock / Chenal Valley, AR

Dog collars are useful for identifying your dog and providing information in case they ever get lost, and of course, they’re useful for attaching a leash to walk your dog. They can also be a fun way for your pooch to make a fashion statement.

Certain kinds of dog collars can be utilized for training purposes, such as head collars, electronic collars, and vibration collars. These are all humane electronic dog collar training choices.

Training collars are just another tool in the toolbox for helping dogs learn appropriate behaviors on their way to becoming loyal, lifelong companions. At Dog Training Elite, we use e-collar dog training in Little Rock / Chenal Valley, AR as part of our training programs.

Shock Collars vs. Electronic Dog Collars

Read More
Read Less

As the name suggests, shock collars give a dog a “shock” via an electric current passing through metal contact points on the collar. The electrical signal can range from mild to painful. Shock collars are often used to try and teach a dog a certain behavior, such as barking or attacking other dogs, is inappropriate.

However, not all dogs will submit when they experience a shock, and it is impossible to predict how a dog will react. Some dogs may react aggressively, worsening the situation. Receiving a shock from their collar can produce an anxious reaction in dogs and potentially have long-term negative effects on a dog’s behavior.

The Role of Positive Reinforcement

Read More
Read Less

Research clearly shows that training through Positive Reinforcement schedules is the most effective in teaching positive behaviors that will last long-term. Other reinforcement schedules, like Positive or Negative Punishment, can result in immediate compliance but are not effective in the long run.

At Dog Training Elite, we use electronic dog collar training in tandem with positive reinforcement. The electronic collar we use is not a shock collar and does not harm the dog. Instead, it is a vibration collar that provides a sensation like the gentle tug of a leash. It is only used to get a dog’s attention and is never used for punishment.

The Dog Training Elite Difference

Read More
Read Less

When you sign up to train your dog with Dog Training Elite Little Rock, our electronic dog collar training is part of the package.

The Dog Training Elite training theory is based on classical conditioning, also known as the Pavlovian method or respondent conditioning. This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when an owner says "down," their dog automatically sits without thinking about it.

Our method uses commands and an electronic collar to teach dogs to respond immediately. This approach nurtures their natural obedience and strengthens the bond with their owner, creating a dog that truly wants to please rather than one trained through fear.

    My experience with Puppy training has been fantastic! Holly has been so patient and sweet to Tilly, it’s been a wonderful experience! Both Tilly and myself are learning a ton of good habits! Holly trained us again today and she was patient and kind with Tilly. She is such a positive influence, it makes the training seem effortless! I highly recommend her as a trainer! Holly trained Tilly today. It was great. She reinforced things we’ve been working on and taught us a few new commands. Things are really going well and I couldn’t be happier!

    Had a great training session with Debbie. Not only did she train our dog, she also gave us instructions on how to be a better pet owner and how to train our dog.

    Bailey worked very well with our older German shepherd we recently obtained with some behavior problems around other dogs. She was able to get him to behave around her dog, Joker. Our German shepherd is a little over 6, so I wasn't sure if he could be trained and she was able to show that he can be worked with.

    Bailey came from Little Rock to Heber Springs for our evaluation and went above and beyond to show us that our aggressive Labrador Retriever (Rocko) could be trained! We were amazed by her ability and strength to control every situation that Rocko displayed. We appreciate her commitment and dedication throughout the training. We intend to commit to the training though Bailey and Elite. Thank you Bailey and Dog Training Elite for all you do!

    Putting our lab into dog training with Dog Training Elite has been one of the best decisions we have made. She is learning so much—I am learning so much! We are very happy with the results so far and are excited about working with them in the future!

    Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? YES!! My reactive and aggressive dog (at 6 years old) has improved so much. She’s been taking treats from strangers and letting them pet her! (With a few minutes of building trust) when she used to jump at them and bite instead.

    Bailey has been working with my pup Arrow for just a few months and already has him leagues ahead of his peers. This training has been life changing for both Arrow and myself. Super grateful. Thanks Bailey and Dog Training Elite for the system dn care you bring to the table.

    Debbie provided all the info I didn’t know I needed and answered all questions I had. Debbie confirmed my inquiries as valid, and I wasn’t just a task to check off the list. She made sure I was seen and heard in an uncertain time where I am, it seems, pulling teeth for answers from others. Debbie is a wealth of knowledge and compassion and will, I’m certain, continue to be pillar unto which I lean during this transition in my life.
