To use the program described in this book, you should have a remote training collar with continuous stimulation,
variable intensity, and selectable intensity at the transmitter.
We prefer the Tri-Tronics Pro 100 and Pro 500 models for
this type of training because these models have lower levels of selectable continuous stimulation than the Flyway Special,
Pro 200, Upland Special, Sportsman or Companion.
*Continuous Stimulation - The stimulation stays on as long as the transmitter button is held down up to a maximum of 8-10 seconds.
*Variable Intensity - The trainer can change the level of intensity of stimulation by changing an intensity plus, a contact point, a dial on the transmitter or selecting a different key (button).
*Selectable Intensity at the Transmitter - The handler can modify the stimulation level by pressing different buttons or keys on the transmitter.
Tri-Tronics Retriever Training presents, for the first time, a thorough explanation of the proper use of Tri-Tronics electronic collars in training retrievers. The techniques emphasize humane methods based on a solid foundation of canine psychology.
Jim and Phyllis Dobbs take the reader through their step-by-step program for retriever training which emphasizes, above all, "making it easy for dogs to learn."
Included are sections on how to select a pup with good working potential and how to get started early with "puppy headstart" training that awakens the pup's desire to learn. The reader is then carefully educated on the proper introduction of the Tri-Tronics collar. The collar introduction program utilizes Jim and Phyllis' highly successful techniques for teaching reliable responses to commands, while not impairing the dog's enthusiasm and style.
The book covers in detail how to proceed with the young retriever's field work, develop its marking skills, prepare it for hunting situations and finally advance it through a handling program. The important question of when and how to use the Tri-Tronics collar and when not to use it is answered for each stage of training. Over 200 photographs, together with detailed diagrams of the handling drills, are also included.
This book is written paticularly for the retriever owner who wants to train his own dog for hunting, hunting tests and field trials. In addition, anyone interested in knowing more about how electronic training collars can be used to enhance effective dog training will want to take advantage of this book.
