Sport Junior Dog Training Guide

er to use “Here” or “Come” is a personal

one. “Here” is more typical for hunting

dogs and “Come” is more typical for

family pets; it’s your choice—just be

consistent. In this booklet we will call it

the “Here” command.
Many owners don’t continue their dogs’

e-collar training beyond the Here com-

mand, and that’s perfectly fine. A dog

who comes reliably when he’s called

has all the obedience that many people

need for a fine hunting dog or family pet.

We’ve included other basic commands

in case you want to take your dog’s e-

collar training further.
Don’t try to introduce e-collar train-

ing to your dog on all the commands at

the same time or in the same session.

Let your dog get confident at one com-

mand before adding the next. The excep-

tion to this is working on Heel, which

can come in after the 2

or 3

session on

Here if your dog is making good prog-

ress on Here. E-collar work on “Heel”

can overlap e-collar work on “Here.”

Dogs learn in small, sequential steps.

We’ve divided the training plan for each

command into Lessons. Plan to have

several training sessions on each Les-

son before your dog moves on to the

next Lesson. Each session should review

some of the material your dog has al-

ready learned.
Since dogs learn from repetition, it is

good to have a training session with your

Sport Junior every day or at least several
