E-Collar Dog Training in Salt Lake City, UT

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 Salt Lake City, UT 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 Salt Lake City, 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.

    I have a smart, sneaky dog who has responded so well to training with DTE and private sessions with Dallin. My dog and I have better boundaries, behavior, and understanding now. It gives me priceless peace of mind.

    Dallin came to our home for a training session, and I’m amazed with the amount of training that we could cover in the time he was here! Luna is so smart and does a great job when she has a focus, but she is our most anxious dog by far! Just seeing her reactions to noises in our home, he was able to suggest and practice some things to help build confidence. He gave us so many suggestions on how to help her through firework season, I’m really excited to help her feel calmer during those really big stresses! Dallin took us on a walk, and was not only able to help with Luna’s confidence while walking, but mine too! In just a short walk down the street and some practice, there was a significant difference in how Luna reacted to other dogs! We’ve been struggling to keep Luna’s muzzle on, but Dallin helped us work through the big issues! Thank you so much DTE, and Dallin for all you’ve done for us! We are so excited to see her continual growth!!

    Excellent presentation. We look forward to the training program. Jeff was great at explaining the program and demonstrating with his dog. We are excited to get started.Dallin did a great job training our Duke. He was exhausted after his first session 😊 Second session with Meggie. Duke loved Meggie. She taught him how to place. Now no more barking and charging the door. She was patient with Duke but he caught on pretty quick. She is a great trainer. Thank you! Third lesson with Meggie. She is so patient with our boy Duke. He did so good with his sits and door manners. He was great walking and sitting with Happy!!! Thanks so much Duke is learning so much!

    Great experience with Dog Training Elite! McCall was the handler with our American Akita for two weeks. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about dogs. From day one, she took the time to understand our dog’s unique personality and tailored the training to fit his needs. American Akitas can be very stubborn and that was definitely the case with our dog. We saw a huge improvement in behavior, focus, and confidence after just a few sessions. What really stood out was her ability to teach us how to better communicate with our dog — it made all the difference. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and genuinely caring dog trainer.

    Dexter went through his 2 week discipline training (Bootcamp) McCall was his trainer and did a fantastic job. If 10 is the best she is a solid 10. You can see quite a difference in him. Thank you McCall and thank you Dog Training Elite!!! 100% recommendation!!!

    Dog Training Elite were wonderful trainers and I would recommend them to anyone who loves their dog. Our little one year old miniature Shih Tzu weighs 4.2 pounds and we were scared that he might not get the help he needed. And, it seemed very expensive to us. BUT, not only did he get the best help but the price now seems very reasonable for what we have gained. I highly recommend this training to anyone who wants their dog trained. These people LOVE dogs and it shows!!

    Dallin is above and beyond! You can tell he is a true dog lover, and someone who will ACTUALLY make a difference in a dogs life. Within 30 minutes, I knew that this was the company to train my little dog and hopefully get him on the way to service training. When they say “the last dog trainer you’ll ever need” they mean it. Every single person I’ve worked with at the studio has been WONDERFUL and truly have outdone the training expectations. I feel so confident in their program I would recommend it to anyone no matter what dog they have. I’m so grateful to have found such incredible people!!! Thank you DTE!!!

    Dallin has worked wonders for pup! Dwayne has come so far and continues to improve every session and every group class! I was skeptical of the group class at first because our dog had some reactivity issues, but after 4 classes with Dallin, Meggie and Jeff- we have seen a world of difference! Dallin listens to what is important to us (like taking our dog on trails, etc) and he brought Matilda tonight and we were able to have the best little hike with them both while working on skills!

    Jeff gave us confidence that the training program will work for our lab! His attitude was very positive, and, after he demonstrated some behaviors with his own dog and showed us the collar used, we felt sure this was the right place for Ruby! We like the combination of at-home and in class training and the option for spot checks and help down the road.
