Understanding Educator E-Collar Tone Training Mode

Educator Collar’s innovative training technology includes an advanced Pavlovian Conditioning mode. This helps your dog associate the tone with the desired command or behavior. Utilize tone training to reinforce auditory and visual commands and tailor your dog’s training.

  • Tone Followed by Stimulation: After pressing the button, the collar emits a short tone. If the button is held for longer than 1.2 seconds, a continuous tone for up to 10 seconds is activated.
  • Tone-Only: If released before 1.2 seconds, your dog only hears a short tone, reinforcing commands without stimulation.

Benefits of Tone Training

  • Vibration-free e-collar tone training: Provides a humane alternative to static correction.
  • Clear communication: Reinforces commands without confusion or discomfort.
  • Effective association: Your dog quickly associates the tone with desired behaviors or commands.

Step-by-Step Guide: Using Tone to Reinforce Commands

Step 1: Introduce the Tone Mode

Begin training sessions by associating the tone with positive reinforcement:

  • Press the tone briefly, less than 1.2 seconds.
  • Immediately follow with praise, treats, pets, or play.

Step 2: Combine Tone with Basic Commands

Introduce commands your dog already knows, like “come” or “sit”:

  • Provide your command as you would without an e-collar.
  • Press the tone button for up to 1.2 seconds while providing your command.
  • Reward your dog for every correct command.

Step 3: Utilize Pavlovian Stimulation (If Needed)

If your dog hesitates or ignores commands:

  • Give it a few more tries, as the tone is new and they’re still adjusting.
  • If they continue to hesitate or ignore commands, press for more than 1.2 seconds to activate low-level stimulation.
  • Release as soon as your dog responds correctly.
  • Provide praise and treats to reinforce learning.

Step 4: Practice in Various Environments

  • Begin off-leash e-collar tone mode training in familiar environments with minimal distractions. As you’re your dog excels, test new commands in new areas and areas with more distractions.
  • Consistency is key, so revisit new commands regularly. Always pair tone training with verbal or visual commands and timely rewards, including praise, treats, play, and petting.
Tips for Success
  • Remain calm and positive, and train when your dog is calm and happy.
  • Be consistent with timing and rewards to reinforce the command-tone association.
  • Begin with a short tone and increase the tone duration if your dog doesn’t respond. Adjust the tone settings as your dog learns their new command.
