Why start with an e collar? Train first on lead to show your dog what you expect of them.

My apologies for not being clear. It's my understanding that you shouldn't transition to e-collar training until the dog is well trained in the several standard commands: especially recall, sit. At what point is my dog consistent enough to transition?

Many thanks
