Week 2 of our board & train program is one of the most important phases in the entire process.
This is where we take the skills the dogs learned in Week 1 and begin building real stability, reliability, and impulse control.
In this video we’re working with:
• Norma – Great Dane
• Stetson – Black Lab
• Todd – Terrier Mix
We begin introducing controlled distractions, increasing duration and clarity in known commands, and starting our methodical e-collar conditioning process.
E-collar training should never be confusing, fearful, or chaotic.
If a dog doesn’t understand:
– Where the sensation came from
– What it means
– How to respond
– How to avoid it
…then it’s useless in real-world off-leash situations.
Our goal is clarity, confidence, and enthusiasm.
When done correctly, this is a fun and empowering process for the dog.
