how do you teach your dog to come to you using a sport dog collar?
My one year old goldendoodle has been to pet training classes, he is fairly well behaved at home.
When people come home, he jumps on them and scares kids with his excitement. All the training tips from the class isn't working. Another major problem I have is, he is way too playful. At the dog park, he tries to play with all dogs, most of them play with him well, but some older dogs get annoyed by his puppy energy. They snap at him and some even bite him, my pup still doesn't learn to back off.I thought over time, he will learn this, but every trip to the dog park is very stressful for me. I am worried that he might get bitten by some other dog. He doesn't come to me when I call during such situations. That is the reason why we invested in an expensive "sportdog training collar".
Now with this collar, we use it at the lowest vibrate level, once my dog feels the vibrations, he just sits down or just go in different direction. He doesn't obey instructions, he just shutsdown. please hel
I don't want to hurt him, but at the same time I want him to be safe. I feel bad to increase the vibrations. Don't know what level is tolerable for him, since he is shuting down or resisting strongly for the lowest vibration itself.

I’d say after a few times of shocking the lil guy he’d get use to it and you could just show him that your going to shock him and make him stop.. Most dogs don’t like to be shocked, kinda painful… But partly he’s still a young one ya know… Don’t give up hope on this one, keep working with him.. And don’t waste any more money on training him or having someone else train him… your chasing good money after bad in my opinion.. GOOD LUCK!!!

We take our puppy to dog parks and she doesn’t listen well when she is busy either. If things continue then hopefully he will learn not to mess with certain dogs. Kayce is 15 months old and she is still learning how to behave at the dog park. Maybe if he doesn’t figure it out he will learn about the collar. Every time you set off the collar call his name right before you do it and hold out the clicker so he can see it. Then, hopefully, eventually just the act of calling his name and showing him the clicker will stop the behavior before you even have to push the button. I have seen several people do this with their dogs…
But he is young and full of energy…and biting and rough housing is how they play. I just watch my puppy carefully and if she gets into rough housing where there is whining or yelping or it looks too rough then I step in…but otherwise I let them deal with it because if I don’t then she will not learn. All the dog will learn if the owner keeps stepping in is that the owner has their back if anything goes wrong so they don’t have to be concerned with whatever happens.
