@@Herdingandhounds very tough, I’m also not free on time and wish I could use my own noises on the collar, i absolutely do love the GPS tracking, it has saved me many of times
It does if you choose to use it. The shocks aren't potent from what I understand. I've never even placed the probes on my Halo to check them out, only to show them on video. My dogs were bothered enough by the vibration and tone that I was able to use that to train them.
@@WorldAnimalFdn Thank you for the reply. I have a rat terrier who is very smart, very obedient - but sneaky when I'm not looking. Considering a non-shock training device.
It depends on the dog. Some dogs train quicker than others. I have Dobermans and I wanna say it took a few training sessions each day for two days for my male and three or four days for my female (she's more stubborn lol). Its not necessarily a matter of teaching them where the boundary is, just how to react to the collar's output. When the collar is going off, you want them facing the direction of home and heading toward it.
Usually it meant leaving one indoors, distracted by a family member. However, they often observe each other closely and get jealous of attention, attempting to do the same thing the other is doing while being taught. It helps. Not all dog pairings are like that but if Ares was acting particularly jealous, I would have him inside, with one of the kids distracting him with toys or treats or whatever. Sometimes, it worked out that I could do both at the same time, provided they were both relaxed enough.
attempting to train my dog today, who loves to run off regardless, wish me luck, thank you for the video, I will be back for updates
Best of luck!
How’d it go?

Nice looking dogs.
Does it emit a shock?

Generally, how long does it take to train a dog using the HALO Collar?

Tell us more about how you trained two of them at the same time.
