Incorporating play (in this case Tug) with Theo to help recondition his ecollar to being a positive as opposed to being a negative. When he first came to me, even putting his collar ON would cause him to completely shut down, so we are showing him that the stim is a positive thing that starts the game of tug! Overlaying a prior language that used to be poorly understood takes time to build a better association. By making it FUN and at very low levels we are able to show Theo that it is ALSO a gas pedal as opposed to only a correction.

Once you have understanding and clarity it’s just like a seatbelt. There if you need it.
