Lesson 1: Introduce the Training Collar
|
|

|
|---|---|---|

Bundle the leash in your left hand so the dog has 2 feet of slack. |
If your dog pulls away, bring your leash hand back to your side and shorten the leash if necessary. |
If your dog chooses to lay down, let him. |
The Purposeful Walk
The keystone of our program is a deliberate and structured exercise we call the Purposeful Walk. During a Purposeful Walk, your dog walks at your side with her head, neck, or shoulder (depending on your and her preference) close to your left leg. As Pack Leader, you are in charge of determining the following critical factors even for your little pack of two:
- The pace or speed of the walk
- The direction we go
- Which distractions we ignore and which we engage with

This book truly helps make your “good” dog “great”!!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2020
I have read all of Marc and the Monks books since my dog was a pup. They really helped me lay a solid foundation of consistency that helped mold Weller(90 pound mastiff mix) into a “good” dog. Admittedly, we moved and got away from daily training and developed some bad habits that ultimately made walking and going out for a patio drink, quite the ordeal. I have been considering E collars for awhile now but couldn’t find any info that was consistent or with any explanation. I was terrified of “messing my dog up”. A couple chapters in and my worries were put to bed. I have followed almost every lesson to a tee(the no couch and furniture rule got denied by the wife😂) using a Starmark training collar and I could not believe how quick he learn and how subtle and graceful it felt. We have now completed our first outdoor walk encountering several situations where he would normally blow me off, instead, he checked in with me and we continued with no issue. I cannot believe this is my dog already and I’m looking forward to finishing the 6 weeks. Thank you Marc and Brothers, this is an excellent book that I believe will not only give more dogs a better life but will also save many dogs lives. Looking forward to someday attending an in person seminar or course with you.

There is a plethora of opinions on dog-raising. This book (with the use of an e-collar) is a great guide to enjoying and respecting your dog. No hurt or harm to you or your pet. Clear, concrete, and concise instruction for a harmonious relationship.

Initially we bought the Kindle edition, we enjoyed it so much, we bought a hard copy too! This book teaches you how to use the ecollar as a communication device, in a very gentle, straight forward manner. Marc also has a Facebook group in relation to the book. Lots of support offered from him personally and the very knowledgeable members! Never once felt alone in our journey.Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on August 10, 2021
Highly recommend for anyone interested in ecollar training!
