True, dogs never have a problem distinguishing between the warning tone and the beeper but why take the If you MUST use the warning method, better to use PV as the warning. I only use PV for praise. When yard work as discussed on this other articles I've written, you add the use of PV to let your dog know it did something right. To accomplish this, give your ordinary reward of verbal praise and gentle stroking of the side, shoulder to flank and simultaneously press the V button Remember, DO THIS ALL SIMULTANEOUSLY. After a few 'refresher' yard working sessions with the addition of PV, the dog quickly learns that PV is a reward just like sweet talk and stroking. Do not be surprised if your dog shakes his head with his first application of PV. Vibration tickles and this reaction is normal. They'll learn to accept it without shaking their head. After I have blended PV the yard, we go to the field and reinforce with work on the check cord. Remember to use PV every time you give verbal or tactile praise. This is how we show the dog that PV is the same as verbal praise at distances away from us. Let's say your are practicing whoa out the field. You command whoa and he stops. Let's say you ordinarily say 'Good Boy Whoa'. Then all you have to do is add PV simultaneously. Remember, you must go back to yard work to blend PV from the beginning or he be confused as to what the PV sensation is all about. if we've done all this correctly, the dog now understands that PV verbal praise and stroking, no matter how far he is away from you. Remember you are giving this praise WHILE HE IS THE ACT OF DOING IT CORRECTLY! The vibration becomes affirmation of what I am asking him to do! other words, he expects that when I ask him to turn, whoa, come whatever, I also give him a positive vibration for doing it! Awesome huh?..... Of course you use less and less PV as your dog becomes more experienced and better trained. PV is only a tool to let him know he's doing it right during a time his training when things can get confusing. It's a terrific transition tool during early training. Let me give you one more example of why it is awesome. Every good trainer knows that while your dog is learning to hunt forward that too much praise and 'handling' cause the dog to yo-yo because it passively encourages the dog to come back over and over to you for your praise or handling. With PV, you can give the dog a distance affirmation that he is doing things right without risking the creation of a yo-yo'er. assuming that you have already blended low level e-stimulation previous yard and field working situations as well as PV, let's proceed with our training discussion. Practical Application Let's go back to yard work and ask him to do something he fails at from time to time. Example, 'whoa'. Let's ask him to whoa. When he whoa's properly, give him simultaneous PV. If he fails to do it, we do not use PV, we immediately use his 'response' level of e-stimulation because we are the yard away from distractions You substitute e-stimulation with the 'check' of the check cord and or verbal hand commands. We asked him to do something, something he already understands, and corrected him if he didn't do it, but NOT with PV. If he did it correctly, we used PV. Let's say your dog is at whoa now for the last 2 minutes and is standing quietly the yard waiting for your next command. Let's assume you are standing there watching him, waiting for him to make a mistake. Let's also assume that you know your dog well enough now to recognize when he is getting distracted and is about to move from whoa without being given permission. AT THAT MOMENT, you have a choice, negative stimulus or PV. But why negative if he hasn't done anything wrong yet? The dog just about to mess up is 50 can be influenced with PV. times, if the PV foundation has been laid carefully, you can use PV to remind him he is at whoa. PV interrupt his 'second to second' thought processes enough to let him think about what he is doing. It doesn't mean he won't go ahead and do something wrong, but it does give him a to think about it and not commit the offense. Some D.T. systems models such as the Micro IDT and the SPT 2400 series offer vibration and stimulation one single button and a second vibration only button. I prefer to keep the two separate method of training using PV. I
