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. Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast uses an electronic collar as part of its positive reinforcement-based training program.
Not all training packages may be available at our Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast location, please reference our pricing page for complete information on services offered.

Shock Collars vs. Electronic Dog Collars
Like 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 behavior, like 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 a 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.
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.
Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast uses electronic dog collar training in tandem with positive reinforcement. The electronic collar used by Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast 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.

Our Balanced Theory
We base our training around the "Classical Conditioning" model (a.k.a. "Pavlovian" or "respondent conditioning"). This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when the owner says "sit," the dog automatically sits without thinking about it. Our unique techniques ensure our program is a success no matter what behavior we encounter.

Tina has been training my dog to be a service animal and has done phenomenal. I took my husky in and he was walking me and just had very bad behavior. It caused me so much stress and anxiety. I now have been able to take him places with no stress or worry! It has grown not only his confidence, but mine as well! I full heartedly recommend this place if you’re looking for training. I’d say they can train anything you are looking for and will do a very excellent job. Also, Tina drives an hour away just to ensure my dog is ready to pass his test. She shows up and goes out of her way to make sure that he is well equipped for his test! Her heart is pure and she’s given me great advice and knowledge!!!— Lexi Hart

Wow, Tina is an amazing dog trainer!!! From the very first session, my one-year-old pug, Pixie, began following commands. Tina made all of the sessions simple, comfortable, non-intimidating and relaxing to both my dog and me! Of course, as Tina calls it, there is homework, and it must be practiced before the next follow-up session (one week apart). This is all done at one's home which is very convenient. There are group sessions also but due to medical issues, Tina worked out a specific home program for me. If you need any behavior worked on for your dog, I strongly urge you to contact Dog Training Elite. You and your dog will forever be thankful! Thank you so much, Tina! Evelyn— Evelyn Perillo

The Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast Difference
When you sign up to train your dog with Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast, the electronic dog collar training is part of the package. The collar is one of many tools Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast used when training dogs. Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast focuses on positive reinforcement training.
The Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast training theory is based around 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 "sit," their dog automatically sits without thinking about it.
Through a combination of commands and the electronic collar, dogs learn to follow commands at once. Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast’s method nurtures a dog's loving and naturally obedient nature and helps strengthen the bond between dog and owner. The difference becomes clear when comparing a dog that is trained out of anxiety and intimidation vs. a dog who truly desires to please from the inside out.
