Frequently Asked Questions
What is an E-Collar?
An e-collar, sometimes called a remote collar, is a tool used to transmit Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to deliver a stimulation to the neck muscles. This causes the neck muscles to tingle, or at higher levels, to contract. This is NOT the same as a “shock collar” which typically only has 3-5 levels of painful static shocks. We use e-collars from E-Collar Technologies; each unit has at least 100 levels of stimulation. The correct usage of an e collar yield amazing outcomes for you and your dog.
What do I need to bring?
Just your dog's food and a flat buckle collar.
Will I get to come visit my dog during training?
Yes, after the first week I allow structured walks with me and your dog. It is an opportunity to start transferring the respect from trainer to owner.
Why do they need to be crate trained?
Crate training is a vital tool when working with your dog. It creates a clear boundary for your dog and gives them a place that is their own.
Where does my dog stay?
Primal Mountain K9 is a home-based business. Your dog will board with my family and me, which helps them learn appropriate behavior in real-life home situations.
