Do some research before starting with it, one of the guys on here should be able to tell you everything you need to know. I've always just put the colar on the dog everytime we would do anything work related. He'll get used to at least wearing it and learn that it's not a bad thing, it means when it's on he gets to do something. Over time he'll get jacked when he sees you take it out and grow to like it. After that I've always made sure it knows the kennel command well, and would proceed to use the colar on the lightest setting that the dog would give the slightest response to. Heel the dog, hold the continuous shock down and give them the "kennel" command once he gets in let off. Bring him back to heel and repeat. He will figure out if he follows the command he can turn off the shock. Then move to another command. This is just what I've always done to introduce them to it. I'm sure some of the actual dog trainers on here have better time tested procedures. Listen to them

Interesting, didn't realize it's only a water resistant remote. My lab is the same way, he only wears the collar when it's time to work. He gets all jacked up and knows he's about to have all kinds of fun when I put the collar on him. He'll spin I'm circles with excitement and get a little dizzy at first then a switch flips and he's ready. It's pretty funny to watch.
