OK so i have this puppy at home named Koda i adore him so much although he can be a handfull sometimes :S i need some really good tips on how i can train him to be a good dog.. like what age can he be to use a training collar and for you people out there that thinks it's mean it's not it help subourn dogs like my one to train better the only time that its mean is if you put the collar up to when it could hurt him.. if it's at a low stage it gives him a lil shock like a lil soft smake on the nose. but back to what i was saying um i also have this other dog at home he is train but when Koda is around this other dog he doesnt behave at all :S and yes the other dog might be distracting him but koda has to learn to behave me even if there is another dog around. I would love it if anyone had any links or anything that you could post for me.. thanks XX

Online Dog Training - Train Your Dog Using Your Computer - Seriously!
Recommended Answer:
Training collars I think are a waste of time. First of all punishment only subdues bad behavior when it is on the animal. But when it's off, the behavior is not guaranteed gone.
To train effectively, you the trainer must be dedicated. I would suggest a clicker (they're less than a dollar at Pet Smart) and a snack that your dog likes. Reward ANY behavior you want your dog to have. Start off with the small things, such as sit. Show the treat. Say the command. Click. (Dog sits) And then award treat.
Usually, the best time to train is before they eat their next meal, so that they are alert. And repetition is key.
Remember punishment should not be used as a tool for behavioral correction! Example why. Cop pulls over guy for speeding. Scared so the guy doesn't speed for the rest of the day. Next day, he goes back to regular behavior which in this case was speeding. No lesson was learned.
Dog Training School to Help Solve Dog Behavioral Problems
- For the price of an e-collar, you could enroll in a good basic obedience course with your puppy.
Why would you not want to do that first, if you really love your dog so much?
E-collars are not an acceptable tool for a pup. We are not getting the wrong idea, you are. Do more research and talk to some trainers, please. - Yes, Victoria Stillwell or Cesar Milan or Barbara Wodehouse.Patience and consistency, for the love of GOD/DOG NO shock collar.
- I don't know if you've heard of her, but Victoria Stillwell is an amazing dog trainer. I've trained by Weimeraner and Doberman by using the tips she gave in her show "It's Me or the Dog".
- Remote collars are great if properly used, and for me that means long distance off-leash obedience work on a VIBRATION SETTING to get the dog's attention when necessary, mostly to obtain successful recall in a crowded an/or noisy environment such as a beach. They are not a good tool for achieving basic obedience.
You need to train Koda away from the other dog at first, then try distraction proofing him. There are many ways to achieve this, but down/stays in a distracting environment are a good place to start.
I wouldn't bother watching Victoria Stillwell. She's fine with dogs that have minor training issues, but she often gives up and recommends euthanization for dogs with curable aggression problems. - The instructions on shock collars say not to use them on puppies under 6 months old. If you love your dog to death, don't use them. I've seen burn wounds from malfunctioning collars (happens more often than you'd think). I've seen dogs who weren't aggressive become aggressive because when they barked at new people or dogs, they felt a shock. Instead of knowing that the bark was the bad thing, they thought the people or the dogs were the reason for the shock.
