A tool for freedom, not force

At Empire Dogs, we understand that the topic of e-collars can spark debate. But when used correctly — as part of a balanced training approach — they can be an incredibly effective and humane tool.
Balanced trainers like Seb use e-collars not as punishment, but as a way to communicate clearly with your dog at a distance. This is especially useful for dogs who enjoy off-lead walks, but need a reliable recall in high-distraction or rural environments.
We offer a structured, 31-day e-collar training programme designed to introduce the tool safely, teach clear communication, build off-lead reliability, and prioritise welfare, engagement and confidence.
You'll also receive personalised guidance on choosing the right Dogtra model for your dog — and an exclusive discount on all Dogtra products when you train with us. It's very important that your dog understands a recall command before e-collar training...if your dog doesn't understand this recall command we'll train this first as part of the package.
