E-Collar Dog Training in Frisco, TX

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 Frisco, TX 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 Frisco, 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 have a 7 months Dutch shepherd mix, I am very happy with the training, already can see improvements on my dog and Ali our trainer is so nice, she is always on time and very kind but firm. We are still at the beginning of the journey but so far I’m happy and excited for the future. Thank you so much. Today was my last class, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. My puppy and I worked with three different trainers: Ali, Trey, and Austin, and each one exceeded my expectations. What really stands out is that they took the time to understand both me and my dog as individuals, tailoring each session to our specific needs, pace, and level of maturity. I always felt seen, supported, and understood. Their communication as a team is also exceptional, no matter which trainer you work with, they’re all on the same page and aware of your progress and goals. I 100% recommend Elite. We’re even hoping to move toward service dog training next, so hopefully more to come soon!

    They have changed the staff and ever since they are more engaging without never following up with you. “Ali” a new dog trainer is amazing. They need more people like her that are passionate to teach and know what they’re doing. Ever since I had training sessions with her my dog and I have been behaving tremendously well and are improving fast. When I started that wasn’t the case. I grateful for having Ali with us. She is a sleeping gem.They need people like her that want to be there and not just show up to the session and do the minimum and leave. The only con is that they never follow up or find you to keep rescheduling. If you never contact them they will never contact you. That’s the only issue I see but other than that good people. Now things look Better with “Kelly” the scheduler as she leaves reminders and figures out how to go around your schedule and make your needs met for the dog to be trained.

    I’ve had a few in home trainings now with Ali. She’s great! Super knowledgeable, is able to command authority and show sweetness to my dog at the same time! Shes confident and dedicated to the training. One time my dog was being a little testy and she patiently continued to give a command until he responded. And then she loved on him and rewarded him! She’s a great teacher for me as well! She helps me understand how to implement the same training Elite does with my dog at home and at work. 10/10 Recommend Ali and Elite!!

    I cannot say enough good things about this training facility!!! They were flexible and encouraging as we worked thru the training and my dogs anxiety. Ali, specifically, has been a life saver and has really connected with my pup. She has made training fun and even possible (which was questionable at first). I highly recommend training here!!

    We have worked with several trainers from here and they have all been great. Ali is exceptional. She is very professional, kind and wise. Our dog has gone from an absolutely unmanageable puppy, to an under control lovable boy. He has transformed under their great training and we are SO grateful! We love him, and we love Dog Training Elite!

    My dog and I loved working with Ali. She was patient and attentive to our needs. She utilized positive training methods, which I appreciated. She worked with us both at home and in the community to ensure that my dog had the skills to be a service dog. I have worked with several dog trainers over the years and she has been the best. I highly recommend her.

    Dog Training Elite has been exceptional! They helped us with our crazy schedule by being flexible while my wife was pregnant. We got to work our puppy in facility and at home with multiple trainers. They all were great, knowledgable and worked well with our Malinois puppy. Ali was for sure my wife’s favorite trainer who went above and beyond with us!

    I cannot say enough how pleased I am with Dog Training Elite and the training they provided for my pup (and me:) Kelly was always so gracious to take the time to answer my questions when I called the office, or to check with one of the trainers if needed. Felicity was an absolutely PHENOMENAL trainer. She really is the “puppy whisperer!” She equipped me the with the skills I needed and worked with me until I was confident using them. It was worth every penny and I would definitely use them again! Excited to continue our training with the group lessons soon!!!

    Tori Severance from Dog Training Elite Frisco was my dog’s trainer for all 6 of her training appointments (Gold Obedience package). Our last appointment was today and I am so incredibly grateful for Tori - she changed my life & my dog’s life! My Goldie is an ~2 year old Shar Pei rescue and had such terrible anxiety before. Goldie not only learned “come”, “sit” & “place” with an implied stay, to “heel” / have good leash manners but she is also no longer afraid of her crate (no more ocean of drool after being crated). Goldie’s confidence has grown so much & I am sooo proud of her!! I cannot recommend Dog Training Elite Frisco or Tori enough! Worth every penny and then some! Thank you so much, Tori, for being so incredible! Goldie & I are looking forward to seeing you again in the future :) We’ll also be at Saturday group trainings soon!

    We had an amazing experience with Dog Training Elite. All of the trainers were great but our dogs, Theory and Newton, really took a liking to Felicity. She is very knowledgeable and you can tell that she really cares about the training that your dogs receive. All sessions were thorough, she made sure that we were confident with the commands and answered all questions that we had before leaving. The Saturday sessions are also a good opportunity to get some more practice with distractions. It was worth our money and we would recommend.

    Small dogs can be headstrong and tough to trainer. But that didn’t slow down Tori from getting Ellie to be the best pup she can. We started with with puppy in home private sessions at 3 months old and saw such great results we continued with the platinum package and couldn’t be more thrilled. Tori helped bring out her confidence, improve behaviors, and thrive with obedience training all with patience while we asked for help. Now a day short of 6 months, Ellie is better trained than most dogs 4x her age. It is critical for the owners to take an active role and continue to the great work of the trainers, or the dog will regress. We can wait to see what Ellie learns next!

    What can I say about dog training elite? The trained our first two dogs together at the same time & I have to say from the very first training session with Trey our dogs behaviors already began to change. We had the pleasure of Jordan really commanding the room with atlas & helping so much on distractions our dogs if they are in command they stay at attention. Felicity when I say our dogs can place on command & even have my dog ignore a cat in a bush.. I was like whoa! Kyler helped with heel & this command definitely isn’t easy but literally within ten minutes our dogs now can stay off leash & heel without breaking command. With all this being said we now have two new ones & with so much of DTEs initial help we have been able to train our two from the continued training that we kept with our first two. They all are amazing trainers & such a great company!

    Have to complement Megan on her work. She has done fantastic working with biscuits and teaching me how to work with her as well. I was so proud of this video, I had to share. Biscuits is 17 weeks old Shar-pie, Basset Hound & Pug Blend. Thanks Megan for all your help!

    Tori and Jordan have been working with my Malinois Max for 3 weeks now. Within that time we brought a newborn baby home. We have been so amazed with the progress that Dog Training Elite and the trainers have done with Max. He is a completely different dog already. Best investment we have made in a very long time. Thank you so much for your help and patience. -Patrick J Murray Sergeant USMC (Ret)

    😬Animal control was called out to my home . My Bernadoodle tends to take his job of protecting our home a little, (well, maybe a lot) too seriously. So, we hired some trainers out at dog training elite to come and give us some new tools in our training (or lack there of.) 🤗We have a new dog! He is so much fun to be around. A HUGE 🗣️shout out to Tra, Felicity and Yuni Who helped making the dog of our dreams a reality!
