Ten Common Outing Mistakes

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

• Drills to teach your dog to give up something to get something. 

• Utilizing multiple types of reinforcement to increase positive behaviors. 

• Adjusting e-collar settings to change the type of pressure on the dog. 

• Differences in different models of e-collars and how your dog may react to them. 

• Pre-empting the mistakes that you can. 

 

Key Takeaways:

• A lot of common outing mistakes have to do with e-collars and the misuse of certain functions for outing behaviors. 

• Consider going lower on stimulation and longer on the taps of the e-collar rather than a high stimulation with an extremely short duration. This will change the type of pressure on the dog. 

• Avoid habituating your dog to the higher levels of stimulation. These dogs are bred to fight through adversity, you don’t want to stress innoculate the dog to the e-collar pressure. 

• Try a few different types of e-collars on and see which one they respond better to based on their temperament and the sharpness or bluntness of the e-collar. Experiment and see what works best with the minimum force rule. 

 

"Outs must be rewarded. No behavior will be maintained without some form of reinforcement." —  Jerry Bradshaw
