E-Collar Dog Training in Little Rock / Chenal Valley, AR

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 Little Rock / Chenal Valley, AR 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 Little Rock, 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.

    Bailey has been working her MAGIC with my sweet dutchess, the progress is so insane just after a few sessions- today we worked with her dogs (joker and delta) and my dutchess (pitbull) felt so calm with them and immediately all the training started to click. Truly working wonders!

    Working with Bailey has been such a positive experience. Her understanding of the individual dog's behavior & instincts is amazing. Her perspective & approach helped me connect with my Belgian Malinois on a whole new level. I’ve always had rescue dogs but this breed is oh-so very different. I realized very quickly I was going to need help. He (Bronson) is extremely smart, driven & quick to test all boundaries. Since he was a rescue I needed help w/ socialization & correcting some *very* challenging behavior problems. Bailey helped with confidence and firmness before my pup could outsmart me. Her guidance has made such a difference. She has taught me how to handle & understand him & his unique needs. She’s very caring toward both the owner and the dog and she’s enlightened me on training techniques I didn’t even know existed. I’m beyond grateful for her knowledge, patience and dedication. My sweet baby boy Bronson & I are very appreciative. High recommendations!

    We completed our 2nd session with Bailey and couldn't be happier with the results so far. Our Owen is making excellent progress, and we feel confident we'll get over the reactivity hurdle soon.

    We’ve had the best experience with Dog Training Elite. Bailey is fantastic. She is dependable and knows exactly what to do with our pup. She is intentional with her time and has been a great help to us, the owners, as we continue her good work when she leaves. I know our dog is in the best hands with Bailey, and we totally trust her guidance. Two thumbs up!

    Had a great first visit. Buddy was a a little nervous but warmed up to them quickly. It was great to see how quickly he can learn good behaviors.

    Bailey is absolutely phenomenal. She has worked tirelessly with our Cane Corso Monocco and has transformed her into a well behaved baby. At only 5 months old she has learned so very much and I could not be more proud of all the progress and hard work Bailey has put into our girl!!

    I was very pleased with the first session. She was able to bring him down stairs in which he would not come downstairs for 9 months. We are on the road to recovery.

    Debbie came to our home to evaluate our new puppy as a serviced dog for me. He will be trained to sevice Parkinson’s (mobility issues) and PTSD (Anxiety). Debbie was very helpful, knowledgeable, and our pup responded to her quickly. He did throw a puppy temper tantrum while she was here. Even with his full on puppy rage, (teething and not being weaned properly from his mother), she quickly put him in check and demonstrated how to handle him and de-escalate the situation. I was extremely impressed and look forward to seeing what’s next for us.

    I was so sad and disturbed because my precious, very traumatized little one was not progressing much. I was desperate for help! I simply didn’t know what to do next. Then I found these people. Oh how thankful I felt! Still I wasn’t sure, but I had to try. I’m so hopeful now. Thank you very much, Debbie!

    My sweet (to me) Iris has recently started training with Jess. She’s already come a long way. Our first encounter was a bit scary. I thought Jess may become a puppy treat. Just a few weeks later, Iris & Jess are playing catch in the backyard. With her help, my time with Iris is becoming a much more pleasurable experience.

    I can’t say enough good things about Bailey at Dog Training Elite! She is everything I hoped for in a dog trainer—professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what she does. You can tell she’s truly educated in this field. What impressed me most is that she brought her own dog with her, and we were able to see her training methods in action. It gave me so much confidence in her approach. If you’re looking for a trainer who knows dogs and genuinely cares, ask for Bailey. She’s the real deal!
