Big things are in the works for Paradigm K9's Dog Training Community. Get in the comments and offer up your opinions, questions, suggestions. I'm here for you guys and I wanna hear from ya!

I have a Dogtra Pathfinder 2, which has some cool features for live viewing of your dog’s location up to 5 miles away mapped on your phone, but it’s a hassle to connect the connector to both the phone and collar (crappy Bluetooth connection protocols). What models do you like for basic e-collar obedience work? Thanks!

Hi @Jeff Thomson , Eleven is doing well with the leash pop recall, and I'm getting close to start using the e-collar here in a few days when she's really got it cemented in. I have a good understanding of introducing the low level correction, but one thing we didn't discuss was your thoughts are on beeps and vibrations. Should i consider using them at this entry stage of e-collar work at all?

Eleven has been getting all her food exclusively from me during morning and evening training sessions since the begging of the year (with a weekend break when I was traveling). Really like how “stay” is baked into the commands. She’s never been so responsive to commands. She’s also really getting good with heel positioning in just a few days. Sounds like recall games, leash pressure and introducing distractions coming up next. Excited to see where are go from here. Thanks @Jeff Thomson for the guidance.

I know it doesn't bother some people, but there are times when I do not want my my dog (3 yo yellow lab) licking my hands, arms, legs, etc. I know this is a core way they like to express affection, but are there good ways to train this out of them? "No lick" commands are decent, but would like this to be more trained into her so she doesn't even start with it. Have not used much negative reinforcment except shooing her away and telling her "no lick" when she starts at it.
