    e collar for 6 month old

    my friend is selling me his e collar because he need a two dog system. I think its a Delta . It has vibration
    feature on it. Wyatt is doing ok on coming about 60% of the time. Would the vibration feature help with the
    other 40% time not listen.

    I am not sure if he has the instruction manual or not. Does anyone have any tips for me on the correct way to use it?

    I attached a long line to train recall with chili in combination with an ecollar. when i give the command to "come" i would hold down the vibrate/page button and pull the line/chili in to me. upon arrival I would release the page/vibrate button. their are youtube videos on the subject. if you dont use a line to pull your dog to you, the vibration could freak out your dog and make him scared, so make sure you have a plan before you start this kind of training. I messed up with chili the 1st time not using a line and chili ran under a chair to hide. using the long line to pull him towards me taught him what to do and where to go when that collar vibrates. nick/shock arent needed at all for recall imo and are very serious tools not to be used lightly.

    We have had great luck with our sportdog 825. Our trainer has said that he likes the page better. Bacon has about 99% recall with just the page, I rarely have to use stimulation anymore.

    how did you start him on it did you use a check cord? Did you let him wear the collar a few days before using the page?
    I was hoping to call him and if he didn't come call him again hitting the vibrate button? Do you hold the vibrate button till he gets back to you or just a quick hit to get his attention?

    Did you check the company website for a downloadable user manual? They should at least have a toll-free number to use for specific questions.

    If you're going to use the vibrate method I suggest following Kelly McCoy's method. We lost all the videos on here during the Great Server Fry but all her videos can be found on YouTube under the name panzertoo. I really like how she uses the e collar and it was really effective for my mini dachshund.

    Started with saying come + page and then pulling on a check chord. soon, he would come with just the page. our collar came with a instructional video so that helped a lot.

    Finding and following a program is step #1 to make sure you are doing it right.
