BEFORE TRAINING YOUR DOG WITH THIS PRODUCT
You will have the most success using this Remote Trainer if you always remember to teach a command before trying to
reinforce the command with a Remote Trainer. We recommend that you read the following Basic Training instructions
before training with this Remote Trainer. Your training will be easier and proceed faster if you follow these guidelines.
BASIC TRAINING WITH PRO TRAINER CHARLIE JURNEY
TRAINING YOUR DOG TO PERFORM OBEDIENCE COMMANDS ON A LEASH
It is mandatory that you control your dog’s actions during every training session. Initially, controlling your dog during
obedience training sessions is accomplished in two ways: 1) the leash and 2) the tone of your voice. While on the leash,
your dog does not have an opportunity to escape through the instinctive mechanisms all canines possess. Bolting,
biting, and quitting are no longer options. Your tone of voice will later take the place of the leash. Later the e-collar will
replace both and you will be able to put the leash away until you train your next dog.
Your dog should always work for you because you are the most important relationship in its life, and pleasing you
should be at the top of its priority list. The positive reward any dog appreciates most from a trainer is a thank you in the
form of a loving shoulder stroke, aff ectionate eye contact, and a sincere “good dog.” If your dog does not light up on any
of those three, you need to reevaluate your relationship. Each command should be followed with a positive reward of
some fashion when your dog follows your lead.
THE FIRST COMMAND: NO
The fi rst command your dog will learn is “No.” Usually your dog will understand this command by the end of its fi rst
day with you. Your dog hears this command each time it is doing something wrong and it comprehends the command
by the way you say it. Your dog may have been running around the house with your wife’s pantyhose in its mouth or
chewing on your prized decoy when it hears that dreadful word. Intonation expresses your feelings to your dog in a
language that is universal. The tone of your voice tells your dog that it is in trouble and through repetitive use, the word
“No” comes to mean the same thing. Voila! Our fi rst conditioned response! (Thank you, Dr. Pavlov).
“No” means stop what you are doing immediately. Put yourself in your dog’s place when it hears this command and
understands it. The dog is thinking it must quickly stop what it is doing. Your dog would gladly obey you, if it only knew
what you desired. For this reason, when your dog does stop doing whatever it was that bothered you, you must give
another command expressing what will please you. “No” is always followed with something that will make you happy.
When you are happy, your dog will see it through your eyes, feel it by your touch, and hear it in your tone. And, that
is your dog’s positive reward. Even when it makes a mistake and is corrected by the word “No,” it receives a reward by
following your next command. This is a simple and foolproof method.
