I've seen a lot of people reference using it to train agility contacts. How hard is it to fade away the trainer? Can you use it to train entry on WP?

i don't know about fade away but I know it is helpful on WP especially if you have a mobility problem and want to do 2 by 2's

I use mine for Obedience training, so I cannot be of a lot of help. If you go to the AKC website under agility there will be agility people who may be able to answer this question. They are called mentors.

Not hard to fade away from using at all. Sometimes we train with it, sometimes not.

it's not hard to fade as long as you've done enough reps. in my experience people who have trouble fading lures and cues have trouble with the concept of training to muscle memory. on the weave poles I would use the two by two method with the manners minder.

This is a training device. It will help you train your dogs to respond to your commands better. You should expect to spend a fair amount of time training them. It is not meant to strap it on right out of the package and push the button when they don't listen. they will not know how to respond to that. It comes with very good instructions on how to train

Hmmm, this is a whacky system of Q&A;, as I see nothing relating to the product in question onscreen. I can only assume that it's for the petsafe wireless fencing system, because I reviewed it a long time ago. In which case, I'd recommend searching youtube "how to set up petsafe wireless fencing system" or something along those lines. That is what I did, and found not only that but also visuals on how to train the animal to it....and, just to add to my last review a year ago, thank you, Petsafe, for continually providing some of the best customer service that I have ever experienced.

Yes you can direct the correction of your animal one at a time I have been using it now for about a month almost everyday. I have two boxers and both of them already had the drill down, so they react to the tone very rapidly. I had a SportDog training color it was made better and more waterproof than this unit but it was only for one dog. I think if you don't get it wet and keep it charged you'll be happy. Just keep in mind the trick is not to have to use the electrical feature, maybe try the the vibration feature it works. But be careful because the electrical feature is right next to the vibration feature don't get them mixed up by mistake.

I was worried about that also. However I have needed up using it differently. I record training conferences and what I ended up doing was recording in much smaller sections, 1) for ease of location of material that I needed and 2) the finished project was little videos on an intranet site. So while I record over 5 days worth of content stretching over 9 hours a day, I never ran into this problem since I found it easier to make the files smaller for ease of use and finding the exact content I needed. I know this does not help exactly, but look at how you will actually do the recording it may become moot as it did for me. Great device though, very handy.

Think of the vibration as the lowest setting. No shock whatsoever. Just like your phone vibrating. I'll use it as my first "tug". If no immediate response, I'll give a shock stim on very low level. I think it's a very helpful feature. I thought the DVD was simple and to the point. I had done some training with my older dog years ago, and this DVD brought that all back to me and showed how to transition properly to the E Collar.Good luck!

Simple answer NO, I do not like this trainer watch for that reason. It has 3 sesnitivity levels and they are either off by too much distance for high sensitivity lor to little for moderate or low sensitivity. And I mean off by a LOT.

***CAUTION*** If you have to manually operate the slide to reset the trigger, you should only use this as a trainer for the first shot. If you get into the habit of shooting and racking the slide this could be a bad habit. "Train like you fight; fight like you train" In stressful situations you always revert to your training!!

I pull the Take down pin out, remove the barrel, insert the laser trainer, then reassemble, conduct my training, and disassemble to remove it. I know this seems like a pain (believe me, I know) but it allows you to save $$ on ammo and still get much needed training with a firearm that has extremely low profile sights; where the user needs to be well trained to rapidly acquire a fairly accurate point-and-shoot muscle memory for defensive employment. Plus, let's face it, without gloves, this is a fairly uncomfortable pistol to shoot-the grips feel like sandpaper, the gun moves a lot in your hand no matter what grip style you employ to hold it, and recoil suppression is nonexistent. As a result, people don't train a lot live-fire with the P3AT. Disassembly is an inconvenience to use the LaserLyte trainer but in the end it provides quality time and training with a pistol that most won't endure at the range. (as a side note-the disassembly also ensures that no live rounds are present in the firearm and prevents live ammo from accidentally being chambered during practice)

Its been a while since I have used it. I mostly used it close range for initial training, but now I don't have to use it. It is great to reinforce the heel command (once they know it), come (obviously that is where the range comes in and I think that it didn't work all that far - maybe 50-75 ft. But you can train them real well close range and they listen better at long range anyway), any negative behavior like getting on furniture you don't want them on, digging, etc... I only use it to reinforce what is already taught though, otherwise you can really confuse the dog. . .

Somewhat. You really need to have some basic obedience commands already down before you start to use this tool. This is not a starting point. Basic commands need to already be instilled by you to your dog. Only after those commands are learned & reinforced, can you move forward with this as a training tool. Great product I highly recommend it. Problem is too many people want to start with it.

Hello Amie, you can train up to 3 dogs separately. There are individual buttons for each dog and different programs regarding vibration and shock settings. The intensity of the stimulation can also be selected. The device is overall very sturdy and made for long lasting. The only downside is that it does not turn an and off automatically. It needs to be turned on and off each time manually. I got used to it now and it doesn't bother me anymore. This brand is my favorite trainer now. Greetings! S.

Remember first, this is a training device not a cure all. You should remove the collar when in the home or if you are around to supervise her actions. Don't leave it on the dog turned off, this defeats the purpose. You and your children need to set aside 10 minutes a day and reinforce the positive result (treats, petting, lavish attention) when the collar is removed so she will still bark when appropriate (intruders, protecting...etc.) but not at certain times. It won't take long for her to associate her behaviors with the collar for certain times. Dogs are very smart and will pick up good, consistent training because you are the leader, the collar doesn't train her, it is only a tool. If you train her behaviors now you will only have to refresh her commands maybe once a week or month so she never forgets. But the collar I used for my cocker spaniel was only needed for 3-4 months. After that she had learned there was no barking at the required time of day (my work hours). I also taught her basic commands (sit, come, stay) and walked her consistently at specific times so she knew what was expected of her. It sounds hard but after a few weeks or months, dogs are conditioned in their thinking as long as YOU take control and it gets easier because they feel more secure.

Easy walk harness? Great for dogs that pull when you walk.. Not designed to train loose leash walking or heeling... I think it is a bit restrictive and I would not want my dog running with it. It really is just best for helping people control dogs that pull too hard on walks and don't have time or ability to train loose leash or heeling behaviors.

That is what I bought it for. It works great for me. You can also setup the profile in ED the way you prefer. Takes a little adjusting and tweeking. So when you first start in ED use the trainer to test and get all the buttons assigned the way you want. I did not like the canned ED setup for the X52. So I did a custom setup and tested in the trainer before using it in game. Good luck

I Don't Use Mine For That: It Is More Of Training Tool. I Have Two, First On Broke, Second One Still Works Good. Like Anything Else You Have To Take Care Of It.

It's been a few weeks since I read the manual. My best recollection is that it has 31(?) "transition" times per 24 hour period that you can program into it. A transition is from off to on, or from on to off. To do this for 24 hours would require 48 transition times. So, I guess the answer is no. You could use 2 of them with the contacts connected in series. Program 1 unit for 12 hours of transitions, and the other unit for the other 12 hours. ***REVISION*** OK, I just looked at the manual, and it has 17 on/off transitions, NOT 31. So you would need 3 of these connected in series if you want 24-hour operation of on/off every 15 minutes.
