E-collar Training
BearGuy1:
Hello all,
I am in the process of training my 7-month-old Weimaraner to be an upland pointer and just acquired a Sportdog 1275 e-collar. The last few months, I have been bird training with him, and he is already holding point and bringing birds back to me upon command. His recall is phenomenal and his whoa is already pretty good.
My goal with the e-collar is really just to call him back when he gets too far away or goes after a bird that flushes and gets too far away to be able to hear my voice.
I am quite disappointed in Sportdog's lack of training instructions on their collars and am looking at the best way to start training him. Currently, he has an invisible fence at home that has a warning tone instead of a vibration, so I would like to use the new collar with a tone, then static correction if he ignores the beep.
Any input on how to go about training on this new collar would be greatly appreciated!

You will not have success using a collar for what you described.

Again, using internet lessons and not first person training will not end well with an e collar.
I will emphasize, especially on a Weim

I use an e-collar for exactly this purpose with my griff. 99% of the time this is using tone only (i.e., no electric stimulus). So, yes it is possible. However, so is the opportunity for creating new different problems if you don't know what you're doing.
If you send me a pm with your contact info I'm willing to talk you through how I went about my training. It mostly mimics the free video I received when I bought my 1st e-collar set up through Gundog Supply .com. I think the woman's name is Robin McFarlane. If you can find this on the interwebs or buy it through GDS, it will be a useful reference.
