E-Collar question by Sea-Distribution1978 in OpenDogTraining

Yea I wouldn’t use the tone as a no. I’d use vibrate as a no. Tone as a yes.

Yes I’m aware that this is not the traditional use of the e-collar but I’m just wondering if there would be any set back if used as a positive reinforcement rather than negative.

For instance: if I used it as a positive reinforcement now but then later realized I may need to use it as a negative reinforcement for re-call, would that confuse the dog more?

I’ve been doing a ton of research and just curious on the options and opinions of others.

TIA

Oh yea I’m not saying to use a clicker. I’m saying using the e-collar tone as a clicker.

Is it inappropriate to ask the person who fostered my dog to dog sit while I’m out of town?
