E-Collar Dog Training in Cincinnati, OH

Dog collars are useful for identifying your dog and providing information in case they ever get lost, and of course, they’re useful for attaching a leash to walk your dog. They can also be a fun way for your pooch to make a fashion statement.

Certain kinds of dog collars can be utilized for training purposes, such as head collars, electronic collars, and vibration collars. These are all humane electronic dog collar training choices.

Training collars are just another tool in the toolbox for helping dogs learn appropriate behaviors on their way to becoming loyal, lifelong companions. At Dog Training Elite, we use e-collar dog training in Cincinnati, OH as part of our training programs.

Shock Collars vs. Electronic Dog Collars

Read More
Read Less

As the name suggests, shock collars give a dog a “shock” via an electric current passing through metal contact points on the collar. The electrical signal can range from mild to painful. Shock collars are often used to try and teach a dog a certain behavior, such as barking or attacking other dogs, is inappropriate.

However, not all dogs will submit when they experience a shock, and it is impossible to predict how a dog will react. Some dogs may react aggressively, worsening the situation. Receiving a shock from their collar can produce an anxious reaction in dogs and potentially have long-term negative effects on a dog’s behavior.

The Role of Positive Reinforcement

Read More
Read Less

Research clearly shows that training through Positive Reinforcement schedules is the most effective in teaching positive behaviors that will last long-term. Other reinforcement schedules, like Positive or Negative Punishment, can result in immediate compliance but are not effective in the long run.

At Dog Training Elite, we use electronic dog collar training in tandem with positive reinforcement. The electronic collar we use is not a shock collar and does not harm the dog. Instead, it is a vibration collar that provides a sensation like the gentle tug of a leash. It is only used to get a dog’s attention and is never used for punishment.

The Dog Training Elite Difference

Read More
Read Less

When you sign up to train your dog with Dog Training Elite Greater Cincinnati, our electronic dog collar training is part of the package.

The Dog Training Elite training theory is based on classical conditioning, also known as the Pavlovian method or respondent conditioning. This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when an owner says "down," their dog automatically sits without thinking about it.

Our method uses commands and an electronic collar to teach dogs to respond immediately. This approach nurtures their natural obedience and strengthens the bond with their owner, creating a dog that truly wants to please rather than one trained through fear.

    I’ve worked with Scott for about a month now, and it’s been time well spent. He’s a great trainer: calm, patient, and a fun personality dogs really respond to. We’re three sessions in, and it’s already made a big difference in my anxious GSD’s confidence, which is a huge relief to me. Excellent training philosophy!

    Scott and Jen are AMAZING to work with. When they came to the house to meet us and evaluate my Neko, they took the time to get to know her, her personality, and listened to my concerns about Neko's behavior and my expectations about her training. Scott gave me a couple of tips and things to do with her that I started on following their initial visit. I could already see a change in her behavior. I was nervous about how Neko would act at our first group session, but her behavior had changed so much (for the better) that I actually cried tears of joy when it was over. I cannot thank both of them enough and am extremely grateful to them for their understanding, help, and support. You cannot go wrong with DTE!

    We highly recommend Scott and Jenn at Dog Training Elite! We started training with them when our puppy, Hudson, was very young, and the progress he's made has been amazing. Hudson is now working toward his service dog certification, and we couldn't have asked for better trainers. Between the one-on-one sessions and group classes, Scott and Jenn gave both Hudson and me the tools and confidence to succeed. They are knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in helping both the dog and the owner. We are so grateful for everything they've done and highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for exceptional training.

    Dog Training Elite with Scott and Jen has been an amazing experience for both my dog Baxter and myself. Since starting with DTE, Baxter has experienced leaps and bounds with his training in both basic obedience but also for certification. They are very knowledgeable, personable, and ensures the owner has the right tools and tricks to help them and their dog succeed.

    We were preventing our Golden Retriever from living her best life: she has a STRONG drive to visit with any human or dog within 100 yards. Her urges put her in many unsafe situations with moving traffic and uncomfortable non-dog lovers. After an unsuccessful session of obedience school, we took a leap of faith investing in DTE. We are so glad we did, and after a few short weeks with the team, our dog's potential became so obvious that we pursued a therapy certification. Now we have the ability to bring joy to others in nursing homes and schools while allowing our dog to do her heart's desire: visit with others. People are amazed at her behavior and compliment us often. And, I no longer worry about her darting across the street on our daily 1 mile off-leash walks! The investment was SO worth it!

    Dog Training Elite helped us so much with our reactive dog. I was so blown away that we got results so quickly. Wish I would've done this sooner

    Dog Training Elite (Scott and Jen) are truly exceptional. They are knowledgeable, down-to-earth, practical, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire training process. We just completed their puppy courses and now feel confident that our puppy has a strong foundation for the next stage of training. What sets them apart is not only their expertise, but also their kindness, patience, and genuine care for both the dogs and their owners. They are trustworthy, encouraging, and clearly passionate about what they do. Every session was organized, helpful, and tailored in a way that made training feel manageable and successful. I truly can’t say enough positive things about Scott, Jen, and the services they provide. We are so grateful for everything we learned and highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for high-quality, effective dog training.

    Scott has been a great trainer to work with and is willing to take the time to work through things to help me get it right when I work with Toby. I have noticed an overall improvement and feel more confident on the work I am doing between sessions.

    Scott was absolutely amazing! Patient, kind, and knowledgeable. My dog had a biting incident and while most would've thought this dog needs major help, Scott met with him and saw my dog just needed a few minor corrections and not some overly expensive, drawn out training program. Couldn't recommend someone better!

    Fantastic experience with Scott and Jen! Helping us take back the control of our middle aged dogs at our own home where the behaviors are seen naturally. No boarding or over charging, honest and fair estimates. And giving you and your dog their full attention at every session, moving at the pace you are comfortable with. It’s never too late to teach your old dogs new tricks with their help!

    Cannot be more thankful to have found Dog Training Elite and Scott and Jen. After some bad interactions left Walter on edge, nervous, and reactive, Scott and Jen gave me the tools to help build Walter’s confidence and to help communicate with him when he’s nervous or on edge! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

    Thank you, Scott and Jen, for offering professional dog training to all the happy dogs in our region. From the one-on-one training to the super fun group classes, you are keeping it challenging and fun. You always respond quickly to my questions with the details needed to keep me and my Cece dog on track.

    Scott and Jen are the best! Training was at our house and our toy poodle named Sophie bonded with Jen immediately. She was fantastic. The group classes are fun also and it's great to see her behave around other dogs. We all enjoy them! I can't recommend them enough. They are great people and great trainers!

    My Daughter Elizabeth was 14 years old with special needs when she started with Dog training Elite. She started training her Dog Goose when he was just 12 weeks old. Scott and Jen have been wonderful not just as trainers but their patience and understanding with my daughter and her needs as well.They both are so knowledgeable! I can't recommend Dog Elite enough! 200% would recommend for all dog training needs.

    Dog Training Elite has made me confident in life since the amazing training program for my service dog Paisley. Scott and Jen are so patient and had multiple methods of training for my girl to be a successful service dog. Their professionalism and techniques have enabled us to feel normal again. Dog Training Elite deserves all the praise in the world! Thank You, Holly and Paisley

    Scott and Jen have taught my dog and I how to communicate with each other very effectively. Training sessions are fun for both of us. We can now go everywhere together. We highly recommend them!

    This training program not only works it makes sense to both my dog and I! Yes most people can have relatively good dogs on their own. (I had 3) However-WOW, you don’t realize the true potential of your dog until you are in this program. I am definitely regretting skipping professional training with my first 3 pups!!! Augie and I are loving this program and can’t wait to start our journey as a therapy team.
