Advanced Obedience (E collar/Off leash)

Service Description

This advanced class is designed for teams ready to take their training beyond the leash using properly conditioned, proper level e-collar communication. At Bigfork Dog Training, the e-collar is used as a communication and accountability tool — never punishment. Our focus is clarity, consistency, and safety in real-world environments where off-leash reliability matters. ​Important Note on Our E-Collar Philosophy Low-level, humane use (this level varies by each dog) Clear conditioning before expectations Used to reinforce known behaviors Never used for fear, pain, or intimidation Dog welfare and emotional stability come first This class is not appropriate for beginners or dogs without solid foundational skills. Prerequisites Handler and dog Completion of Basic and Intermediate Obedience with Bigfork Dog Training and be approved by Trainer ​ Dog is emotionally stable in group environments Owner commitment to follow training guidelines E-collar required (specific models approved by Bigfork Dog Training).
