USE OF TRAINING /BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION TOOLS: With an overwhelming request from our current clientele- we do include the use of e-collars. While in the care of House of Wag, we do work on behavior training, and what is appropriate and what is not. We work to correct negative group behavior and socialization with redirection techniques, verbal commands, noise distraction, and when necessary, the use of e-collars. While we have our own supply of them- owners may also bring in their own. The collars we have and those that are provided by owners MUST have the option for us to turn OFF the shock option. We use them as an aid to correct and control excessive barking, "police" barking, impulse control, and/or overly aggressive behavior in play using the vibration mode and beep mode exclusively. Since the dogs we use them on- already use them at home, they are aware of the warning vibrations and beeps. The collars are never used for "capital punishment." They are extremely useful aids at helping to target with a beep, a vibration, or a combination a specific dog, instead of having to place a dog in isolation out of group play, set a negative vibe because we're constantly having to verbally correct the excessive barking due to the dog's play nature, over stimulation, excessive humping, etc. They respond to correction, get positive reinforcement verbally for continuing positive play. House of Wag has extensive experience with reading dog body language, training and working with multi-dog group play and continuously researching and learning different techniques to help keep our play groups fun, enriching, and safe. Not every dog needs or requires the use of the e-collar. By signing this form, you acknowledge that you understand and accept the terms and conditions set forth by this agreement.
