Generally, we do not start e-collar training on a dog until it is at least 5 months old.
They live at the trainers home in a 4' x 6' climate controlled kennel with access to a dog door to go in and out. If they want sun they can go outside and if they want to sleep they can walk inside.

An "e-collar" is essentially a collar equipped with a stimulation feature, akin to E-Stim therapy at a chiropractor's office. The collar is operated via a remote held by the handler, allowing complete control over the dog up to 400 yards away. This grants the dog considerable freedom and alleviates concerns about the dog wandering off. The e-collar is not intended for punishment or to "shock" the dog, as is commonly misconceived, but rather serves as a communication tool for training. It emits a gentle electrical pulse between two contact points on the collar, which is comparable to a "tickle." Historically, such collars were known as "shock collars" and were misused by some to intimidate dogs into obedience. However, in the training methods we endorse, the dog is not "shocked into submission" or mistreated. The e-collar's purpose is to capture the dog's attention and ensure focus on the handler, similar to a tap on the shoulder or a phone set to vibrate to signal an incoming call. We train dogs to heed these "taps" as cues to pay attention.
The utilization of e-collars in training by premier law enforcement, military, and federal agencies, including those involved in patrol, detection, and search and rescue, underscores their effectiveness.!
