Linda H. sent us this sincere thank you for providing her information about the remote collar training system or what she calls the “tap tap training, like a tap on the shoulder.” Michigan Dog Trainer is here to not only train dogs but also to educate owners as to the most effective and humane way of training dogs which often times includes the remote collar set at a low level that is just noticeable by the dog but not painful. This creates an effective two way communication system or as Robin MacFarlane, a professional dog trainer in Dubuque, Iowa describes like having a GPS system for training your dog.
“Michael, these posts on your site were very helpful in educating me on the use of collars. I’m glad I took the time to read the information you provided and it gave me the knowledge to make my decision to have you train Knucklehead with the collar. When you allowed me the opportunity to test the collar on myself that was definitely my “ah ha” moment. In explaining the type of training Knucklehead is in I am referring to the training as tap training. “No it’s not a shock collar, it’s a tap tap collar – just like if someone tapped you on the shoulder”….Linda H of W.
