Review for Basic Obedience Ecollar Training by Robin MacFarlane DVD -- Pro Dog Trainer

It was too much obedience training and not enough hunt training.

It was a bit slow, but the info was solid. Specifically setting the intensity of stimulation to "match" your dog and how to condition your dog to respond to commands using the e collar. Good Work!

The Ecollar video gives you a great perspective of how to begin and continue using it correctly. My dog is now 10 months old and although she wears the collar a lot, I do not have to activate it too much. She is not at all afraid of it and when we put it on she knows that we are going to have fun. I believe using the collar correctly is what makes training her so easy. The video shows you how to do all of this. The dog needs the basic obedience before you use this on her. After that with a little training, it is just a reminder. No yelling needed. This Ecollar video made my training a pleasure. Thanks

It reaffirms what I use the collar for. I only use it to reinforce my wirehairs to hunt close. I mainly use them for grouse, woodcock, and pheasant. Grouse don't hold very well as you already know.

A very nice product, and works as advertised. The instructional DVD was very helpful. For training my pup, I had never used a collar such as this. Now, I will never be without it. A superior product that I will always have. Nice job by Steve and Robin!

Excellent advise for the beginner. It made possible the instant use of the collar. My French Brittany is a very independent dog and the Ecollar has provided the 'long distance' leash capable of reinforcing instructions beyond the useful range of the physical leash. That is, he darn well knows when he is off leash.

Loved the green dot that showed the button pushes and you could really tell what was going on and the reaction of dog.

I learned several things and really liked the video when a dog is under a real hunting situation they are a little more distracted and you could see how the trainer uses the e collar, when the nose is on the brain is off!

The guidance on how to gauge the intensity of the collar impulses with the reaction of the dog is key to use it humanely.

Excellent, very informative and educational video. Ms. Robin MacFarlane is an excellent trainer and teacher. The way video has been created it made very easy to understand the idea behind the e-collar training. Repetitions in a variety of situations with different dogs helped me a lot to understand and follow instruction. I have never used e-collar in the past. Watching this great training tool helped me a lot to be able and train my dog. Without video, I would not be able to know, how to even start using this collar. I sincerely appreciate that this video has been included in the e-collar package. THANK YOU A LOT!

I already see good results. Vizslas are very active and sensitive. They don't take well to training that is harsh or too stern. McFarlane's method is really useful for breeds like this. The video's focus is on training your dog to be a good pet. I wish she would expand her technique into specifics for retrievers and pointers.

I didn't realize that Robin used the collar to train the dog. I prefer to use only positive reinforcement to teach the dog, and then reinforce with stimulation.

The DVD has some interesting points. I think that the DVD is over price for the material provided.

Pretty basic information. Not worth $40 in my opinion. After watching the DVD I would say it's worth more like $25. If there was a series of DVD's that covered basic, intermediate and advanced instruction I think it would be of more value and would be worth more.

Basic overview. Good start for the person who never used an E Collar before. For me it was mostly just a refresher on basics, but I did learn at least one new trick, so it was worthwhile.

Basic is the key word. It offered good discussion points, but not nearly as robust on actual training methods for the different commands or problem solving issues with duration, distance and distraction. I got more from free Internet searches on the topic than from this $40 video.

Very clear, easy to follow basic instructions. I also like the fact that she uses untrained pups in her videos.

Good video and audio quality. Excellent instructions from Robin. She trains humans to train dogs. This is basic stuff, but well worth reviewing each time you start with a new dog or puppy. I'll recommend to others who want to use an e-collar for training.

Already had a dog that had a good grasp of all the basic commands and the video with a collar just brought everything together.

Excellent teaching DVD showing how to PROPERLY use an E-collar with all kinds of dogs. This clearly illustrates what to look for when first introducing an E-collar, as well as how to find the right level, and most important, what to do when the dog gives you a bit of a challenge. The B and W replays are superb, as well as the green button showing precisely when the stim is applied. EXCELLENT WORK!!!!!
