The Keeper Collars® Hidden Prong Collar is not simply a cover for a prong collar. The prong is built directly into the collar, allowing for unmatched functionality and camouflaging of the prong. How to Fit a Prong Collar

Important Leerburg strongly recommends using a backup collar any time you use a prong collar. Prong collars can come apart (especially if not fit properly). With a backup collar, you can ensure that your dog will remain leashed. We recommend using a Dominant Dog Collar as a backup. Paired alongside with the Prong Collar Leash, your backup leash won't interfere with prong collar corrections. A retractable leash should not be used with prong collars. For more information on proper prong collar use, view our article on Should I Use a Prong Collar on My Dog?

In this video, Ed Frawley sits down with Travis Olson from Keeper Collars® to discuss the quality product that is Keeper Collars. They dive into the mission of Keeper Collars, how to measure your dog for a Keeper Collar, and which keeper collar is best for you based on the various options available. The Keeper Collars® Hidden Prong Collar is not simply a cover for a prong collar. The prong is built directly into the collar, allowing for unmatched functionality and camouflaging of the prong. These collars are designed to easily be put on and taken off. Gone are the days of struggling to pinch the prongs together. For those people who do not have a ton of dexterity in their fingers, this is going to be a huge benefit. Because you are no longer pinching the prongs to put the collar on and take off, you do not have to worry about them eventually wearing out and becoming loose. This also eliminates the worry of your prong coming apart when you need it most. With that, you no longer need to use a backup collar. Leerburg has always recommended using a backup collar with a prong. Simply because if and when the prong fails it will fail when you need it most and maintaining control over your dog in those instances is crucial. With the Keeper Collar, there is no way for the prongs to come apart. Even if they did, the leather flat strap doubles as your back up collar.

Training Dogs with Food Rewards - Version 2024 There is something every new trainer needs to know. If your dog won't take food, if it's not interested in your high-value food reward, it's either: 1 - full and not hungry 2 - it's distracted 3 - it's stressed If my dog is paying attention to the screaming kids next door the dog will often find the kids more interesting than the food reward we have. If my dog is stressed, because of the environment I have chosen to train in, the dog will not take food. Look at it like this: if you are scared do you feel like eating? Probably not. If you are mad, do you feel like eating, probably not. STRESS KILLS FOOD DRIVE.

Michael Ellis PRINCIPLES OF DOG TRAINING 1 and 2 New Lower Prices with much more content! WAS $1,000.00 - NOW $750.00 We have recently lowered the price and added a good deal of additional content to our two courses that we produced with Michael Ellis titled PRINCIPLES OF DOG TRAINING 1 and PRINCIPLES OF DOG TRAINING 2. We began offering these courses in 2015, selling them as self-study or interactive courses. We are no longer offering interactive courses. We have recently expanded the self-study course to include 284 past student videos in PODT 1 and 120 past student videos in PODT 2. Our older self-study courses did not have any past student videos. PODT1 has 187 instructional videos with Michael Ellis and his dogs. These videos total 16 hours of training. PODT2 has 179 instructional videos with Michael Ellis and his dogs. These videos total 10 hours of instruction. It has always been our feeling that new students learn a great deal by watching other "new trainers working with an untrained dog”. We all make the same mistakes when we learn how to train new behaviors. The past student videos and feedback in both of these courses are well-organized and will increase your understanding of the hurdles you will face when moving through the modules and segments of our course. The price of both PODT1 and PODT2 self study courses has been lowered from $1,000.00 to $750.00. When students finish taking these courses, they will be issued a Leerburg Certificate of Completion for their training records. Enroll in PODT 1 Enroll in PODT 2

Training Dogs with Food Rewards - Version 2024 It may seem counterintuitive to say that we don't want to use our dogs highest value food reward, but with some dogs there may be times in teaching a behavior where that's exactly what we need to do. The same thing may happen with dogs that are transitioned to toy rewards. Let's say we have an extremely high high food drive dog that gets so amped up when it knows you have steak that it's brain stops working and the steak becomes more of a distraction. So much so that we need to add pressure to calm the dog down so we can help it learn. If that ever becomes the case with your dog, then change your food rewards to a lesser value food reward, maybe kibble. Once the dog knows the behavior and once it has gone through impulse control training, you will be able to go back and use steak again. At that point, the dog understands that the road to steak is to stay focused and offer the behavior we ask for.

When we ask our dog for a hand-touch we expect the dog to touch their nose to the palm of our hand. The hand-touch becomes a fun game that our dogs love to play at home and on walks. In fact, with many dogs, the hand-touch itself becomes a reward. Once our dog becomes fluent with the hand-touch we can use it to redirect the dog away from unwanted distractions like other dogs, people, or things that make them nervous or reactive. This video came out of a new 5 hour online course from Leerburg.com titled Training Your Dog With High Value Food Rewards with Ed Frawley. The course has over 100 videos in it.
