exactly what I was looking for to work on behavior with my pug
I purchased the remote shock control pet dog training collar for my 26 pound pug. I decided to do some research prior to using the collar. There are some good youtube videos with instructions. The best thing I have learned and implemented is encouraging what behavior you want, not saying "no" to the bad behavior. The biggest thing I wanted to work on with my pug was jumping on me when I walk in the door. For weeks, I would said "off" or "no jump" when I walked in the door with no change in his behavior. Instead, now I encourage him to sit with a positive voice. He knows he needs to sit before I will pet him when I walk in the door.
Using the collar, I came in and out of my front door many, many times in a row. I would instruct him to sit, and if he did not, I would use the vibration mode to get his attention, again tell him to sit, and then praise him. This has worked extremely well!
There are 100 vibration settings, 100 shock settings, and a beep setting. The vibration at 1 or 2 out of 100 gets his attention. I save the shock at a 1 or 2 out of 100 for when the vibration does not get his attention and his behavior is unacceptable, such as when I am out walking him and he is barking/lunging at someone. The remote is very easy to use. The collar will fit a very wide range of necks.
Remember to always give positive praise after the desired behavior is shown. I highly recommend this product.
Update: the collar holds charge for weeks when sitting.
