When Can I Take The Collar Off? Training That Sticks.
In this episode of “Off Leash and Unfiltered,” Kati Peppe emphasizes the importance of lifelong accountability in dog training. She advises dog owners to expect permanent behavior changes as a result of their training program, and explains how to evaluate its effectiveness in instilling discipline in your dog. Peppe notes that accountability needs to be constant and consistent. Kati also argues against reward-based programs as inadequate on their own because they don’t provide for long-term behavior management. Instead, she advocates for E-Collar training, which she believes is more adaptable and practical. Peppe warns that any training program will be ineffective if the owners aren’t educated on how to implement it. She concludes with advice for her listeners – be as consistent and meaningful as a fence, and never stop enforcing boundaries for desired behavior in your dog.
