E-Touch ™ Training Orem, UT
E-Touch ™ is a method developed by Martin Deeley, former Executive Director of the International Association of Canine Professionals and Director of the International School for Dog Trainers. Heather Beck was taught this method by Martin Deeley and Bethany was lucky enough to be certified as an E-Touch ™ trainer from Heather Beck.
“E-Touch™, which Martin Deeley developed, is not a magic method it is a catalyst which can be incorporated within training approaches to train even better. In training a dog we may use food, verbal rewards, tactile rewards, or whatever. The e-collar is a tool that can be added to the mixture to create something special. But with E-Touch™ the main principles of good training do not disappear, we stay creative, we do not depend on the e-collar for everything, there is no one best approach, it is not a race to see who can train the fastest. And most of all we work within the temperament and pace of the dog – reading the dog, and by doing so maintaining a true companion relationship is essential. We want a dog that will be a dog, will make decisions, and basically acts as a dog while remaining a partner and companion. E-Touch™ makes this possible, it is the most non confrontational and gentlest way.”

The remote dog training collar is NOT a “shock collar,” the collar Bethany uses gives off a very gentle stimulation, is extremely consistent, water proof, has a range of half a mile, and is rechargeable. Not only that, we will also train your dog to respond on very low stimulation levels, levels that can barely be felt on a persons hand, so that your dog is not getting injured.
Along with our private E-Touch ™ training package, we also have our Group E-touch ™ class and Speedy E-Touch ™ class.
