I was nervous about using an e collar at first, but the starter guide helped me build my confidence. - Sara
The E Collar Starter Guide has helped Noodle’s and my relationship grow! It’s designed beautifully and provided all the information that I needed to get started! I love that it’s easy to read and it makes me feel understood and perfectly normal. I felt like I was failing as a dog mom, but the e collar starter guide has helped me understand that it’s all a learning process and taking the leap is more than worth it!

“Your guide is so darn clear and explains every little detail and I just wanted to say thank you. I have tried using video guides and they miss so many steps that you clearly outline in the guide.”
You can't go wrong with the E Collar Starter Guide. At over 100 pages, it's basically a cookbook for e-collar training. Weird comparison, I know, but I love cookbooks (I mean, food is the best) because they give you clear, step-by-step instructions. That's exactly what this guide does.
It was the perfect guide to walk me through step by step how to teach my coonhound balanced training.
The E Collar Starter Guide completely changed how we viewed training. I never thought in a million years we would have a dog who could heel during a walk! Place has been such a game changer too for our food crazy hound. Mindset was super important for her to calm her mind down. We plan to use the guide to train our puppy next! Thank you Bethany! - Meg
You’ve tried tips. You’ve watched the videos. You’ve over-researched every tool out there.
And still…
The barking.
The pacing.
The chaotic walk that leaves you embarrassed and exhausted.
I’ve been there.
And I built this guide for you.
It gave me the push and confidence I desperately needed!
The ecollar starter guide was a game changer and definitely the best purchase. It broke down all the steps and phases to get started and don’t even get me started on the visuals!! Love it!
Before starting the guide I felt nervous and intimidated by the ecollar. Now I feel motivated and excited! I really recommend it! - Diana
Bethany’s E Collar Starter Guide is so helpful!
She does a great job at laying out the fundamentals as well as giving examples for different situations. Not to mention how aesthetically pleasing it is to look at.
I recommend it to all of my friends and it’s truly helped create a strong relationship and understanding between my dogs and I. - Val
The E Collar guide that finally makes sense. No overwhelm. No guesswork. Just everything you actually need.
FAQ ABOUT THE E COLLAR
-
I love to use the Mini Educator from E Collar technologies. Our guide works best when you’re using an E Collar that has at least 100 levels. Another reason we prefer the mini educator is its tone function - when you switch the vibrate button to tone (a sound). I love to use tone paired with stim (short for stimulation referring to the 100 levels) for recall. The combo is so helpful when teaching dogs to prioritize their recall command.

Yes! Reactivity is tough. The E Collar Starter Guide is structured to give you a solid training foundation in the first parts of the guide.
After that foundation, I recommend checking out our Reactive Dog Handbook to support you with those specific behaviors. -
We cover this in the Problem Solver Guide. From barking in the kennel, reactivity on walks, barking in your home - we cover it all!

It helps when a dog knows certain commands (sit, down, their name), but your dog does not need to know place or heel. You can teach those commands when starting with the E Collar. I actually prefer to teach place when introducing the E Collar. I find that the combo helps a dog understand things quicker.

6-8 months is the age I recommend starting. And I have a yet to meet a dog who is too old to start E Collar training. Dogs of all ages can benefit from this training. And owners, too!
