SMALL DOG TRAINER COLLAR FULL

I met them half way down my driveway and still had to run full speed to catch her. Just today my across the highway neighbor had to walk across the street so she would follow her away from the road, (barking and running circles around her), toward home. She BOLTS across neighbors yards, I call her to come back she runs further. I have a 6 month old Yorkie who does NOT listen to anything I say or do to discipline or train her. As we move into the future and people discover how much easier on the dog remote collar training actually is, I do believe we will see more e-collars designed with these little guys in mind. But I am sure the technology will keep advancing and someday it will not be a concern.įor now, dogs in the 10 pound range can very easily wear a remote collar and even smaller than that can be done with some minor adjustments made to the collar. For really tiny dogs there is just no way to get a really good and comfortable fit. In order for the collar to work properly it has to fit so that both contact points touch the dog’s neck. The only real consideration when asking the question “Can I use a remote collar for training a toy breed dog?” is “Will it fit and can the dog comfortably carry the weight of it?” Sure techniques can vary slightly from individual to individual that is what makes training an art as well as a science, but there is enough in common that the tool can remain the same. Regardless of size, dogs are dogs and they all learn the same way. Big dogs and little dogs don’t seem to come when called, do lots of jumping on visitors, go bolting out the door, chew up the carpet and joyfully participate in plenty of frivolous barking. Regardless of size, most dog owners struggle with similar problems. Honestly, why shouldn’t these little pixies enjoy just as much safe, off leash fun as the big dogs? And why should pet owners sell themselves short on having a really well mannered companion just because their pooch is pint sized? Plus, I believe there is a certain amount of worry that somehow the electricity is *scary* or could hurt a smaller dog.įirst off, the collars are totally safe just like the medical professions TENS unit (more on this topic later) Secondly, anyone that has discovered the need for training a toy breed dog can attest to how much mischief they can get into!

I do understand there is a fairly common perception that little dogs somehow need less training and so a collar “wouldn’t be necessary”. The short version answer is: Yes, of course. Remote collar training a toy breed dog? Can it be done?
