Testimonials
Twenty-nine years as a professional Decoy I have been on the receiving end of thousands of LE and Military Working Dogs and as an instructor of animal behavior, I have been known to scorn the community of those that have improperly introduced, maintained and deployed with electronic collars. They have quoted reliability but realistically only built stress in their K9 counterparts, offering them no solution on how to complete the simplest of task. In 2010, I attended a course of instruction given by George Hickox on animal behavior and his theories of collar conditioning. No two words best define his class better than Clarity and Sharpness. For the first time I observed working dogs not only understand the task, but also were pleasured by performing and completing the task! Each K9’s level of titration is not ignored but respected in building sharpness and overall performance. Simply put, George’s class offers a clear solution for all handlers who want to incorporate an Electronic Collar as a TOOL versus a CRUTCH. Thank you George!
