-- Helping a dog (http://forums.ukcdogs.com/showthread.php?threadid=928556217)
I too was guilty of ruining a dog with the first tritronics system I used. What works for me is using a check cord in the yard. I let the dog get to the end of the 25’ cord. Then I call the dog’s name and pull the dog to me. Once they get to I give them a treat and pet em up.
Next I’ll walk around and gradually let them get to the end of the check cord again and repeat the process. When I do use stimulation it’s only at the level that causes the dog’s ears to peak up a little. For example on my Alpha system it’s normally on low 6.
Most of the time it only takes 2-3 times repeating the process. Every time the comes to me I pet em up and make a big deal out of it.
The technology we have available is wonderful when used correctly. I’m too old and too fat to chase one down and use my old thrashing whip on. I referred to the thrashing whip as a poor man’s shocking collar.
The beauty of the training collar is that when used correctly the dog never associates the correction with the handler.
Sounds like you’re on the right track.
