Why Balanced Training?
At Olympia Dog Training, we believe in a balanced training approach that combines positive reinforcement with clear, consistent corrections to guide dogs toward desired behaviors. This approach ensures that dogs receive clear signals about what is expected of them, helping to build a strong, balanced, and appropriate relationship with their owners. By using a balanced method, we can address a wider range of behaviors and achieve lasting results.
WHAT ARE E-COLLARS
E-collars, or electronic collars, are a valuable tool in our training program. When used correctly, they help reinforce commands and correct unwanted behaviors. Our trainers ensure that the use of e-collars is both safe and effective, enhancing communication between you and your dog.
Effective Communication Tool
E-collars are used to provide clear, consistent communication between you and your dog. By delivering gentle muscle stimulation, similar to a TENS unit, they help reinforce commands, particularly in off-leash situations, ensuring reliable obedience across various environments.
