Easy to follow and comprehensive guide

Revisado: 10-22-19

Ted is a very nice person, who is passionate about dog training and helping people to have a happy and well-behaved dog. His audio book is a very well structured guide about the e-collar (also known as remote collar). His English is clear and easy to understand (I am not a native English speaker). He explains the principle behind this tool, which is one of the most misunderstood tools in the dog training world. This is probably caused by the first e-collar models, which were usually used to punish a dog...this is the reason the legacy "shocking collar" term. I do recommend to listen this book before You buy an e-collar as Ted points out the most important features of a good remote collar, which should be considered. E-collar is an incredible tool in the dog training process, but it can be harmful if not used correctly or if the remote collar is a crappy one. Be aware of this, as there is a lot of crappy models in the market.The e-collar based training represented in this book is tailor-made for pet dogs, which can be more sensitive. It is a bit different, than the majority YouTube videos about dog friendly e-collar training. The principle is the same, but Ted represents a gentler approach based on his rich dog training experiences. The main part of the book is a well structured guide about off leash training. 
In addition to this Ted provides a guide for perimeter training with the remote collar. Perimeter training represented in the book can supersede an in-ground fence system, so it can save your money and a high quality e-collar provides a more dog friendly way of perimeter training than a shocking collar provided for in-ground fence systems.
Finally Ted provides a guide and many advice about removing undesired behaviors like leash pulling, poop eating, jumping, etc.
As a bonus, Ted created a nice video series about the off-leash training represented in the book and also a printable homework sheet about the required steps. Ted will tell You the link in the book. To summarize, it is a nice, easy to understand book with a good structure. It is written for dog owners, who consider to reach out for e-collar. Your dog will probably not love the e-collar itself, as the principle used in e-collar training is based on negative reinforcement. However overall your dog will be much happier and will love off leash freedom. You will have a higher control on your dog, so he will not harm itself or others and You will be a less frustrated dog owner, which is one of the biggest sources of dogs' happiness.
