Advantages of static stimulation trainingUsing modern electronic training devices offers several benefits over other standalone behavior modification methods such as leash or clicker training. Because today's electronic training devices offer a range of stimulation settings, it is always advised that dog owners begin training on the lowest setting and observe the dog closely to gauge its response.Speed/timing of stimulation With a remote trainer, owners can deliver the appropriate signal at the exact instant they want to get the dog's attention. "There is no time delay like there is associated with a treat, or taking up slack on a leash, or catching the dog if it is far away," explains Keith Benson of Triple Crown Dog Training Academy, the largest canine training and behavior center in America. Effective for any size combination of person and dog Unlike leash training, which can require significant size and strength to use safely and effectively, electronic training devices may even be used by persons with disabilities. In all human/dog training situations, regardless of size, the goal, Benson explains, is "to remind the dog that it is part of a team, not acting alone." Consistency - Can be used at all times in all appropriate situations As many who rely on food treats as rewards will probably attest, it can quickly become difficult to motivate some dogs to work for anything other than food. Still other dogs are model students in obedience classes but seem to forget all they have learned once they are in the "real world." Use of a remote trainer ensures that the owner can consistently correct or reward the dog instantly without having to feed a constant stream of treats, manage an extremely long leash, or chase the dog down to remind it to cooperate. Also, with the bark collars and containment systems, since the are automatic and do not rely on the presence of a human, they deliver a stimulation consistency when the unwanted behavior appears. Control - Allows the handler to maintain gentle, effective control of the dog even at a distance In certain situations, such as animal assisted therapy or police dog work, it is of the utmost importance to all involved that a dog be under near-failsafe control at all times. Observations such as the following illustrate the value and flexibility of the electronic training option for almost any kind of situation when used properly. "I belong to a volunteer K-9 Search and Rescue team in Michigan. Our members train dogs to locate lost or missing persons in wilderness and disaster settings. Because we often work along busy highways and amidst dangerous rubble, our dogs must be immediately responsive to our commands. After training for a short time with static stimulation collars, my site hound has totally modified his behavior. He is now attentive and responsive to my commands and much more interactive with me. This product has absolutely solidified my relationship with my dog and I am sure it will ultimately save his life. I had been to several trainers and behaviorists and had resigned myself to the fact that I would never be able to modify this behavior. I am so happy to find this solution" -- Pat, President, K-9 ONE Search and Rescue
