KEEP THAT COLLAR ON!
At some time, you will get to a point where you feel like your dog no longer needs to wear the e-collar because it never
makes a mistake. Congratulations on a job well done! However, your dog should always wear the e-collar when in
environments that contain distractions. Would you drive your car across the country without automobile liability
insurance? You should now think of the e-collar as your insurance policy in case you and your dog get into a wreck. It
gives your dog a way out of trouble in an orderly fashion that it understands even when its instincts are telling it to do
something else. What does it hurt for your dog to wear the e-collar when you go to the park, Grandma comes for a visit,
it is time to go to the vet, or a million other unknown distractions? You taught that the e-collar means the two of you are
getting ready to do something fun, so keep the e-collar on.
ENJOY THE TRIP
You have now learned how to start down the road to a life of enjoyment with your dog. Some of these steps may need to be
covered again if your dog has repeated failures. That is no problem as long as you take it easy and enjoy the ride together.
Arriving is one of our goals but the trip that takes you there will be fi lled with memorable times that will cement you and
your dog’s relationship forever.
