I have to disagree somewhat. E-Collars are great training tools in the right hands. They should not be used to "fix a dog". They are used to reinforce KNOWN commands. If you are not 100% positive that a dog understands a command, then the collar is totally out of the question for correction for that command.

Teach then Reinforce with the tools of the trade, ie; pinch collar, stick, lead, or E-collar. Hey Charlie, maybe we need to be the dog training Mods on this site????

Maybe, if there is such a thing. I really have been out of the training loop for a while but I still remember a few things. It really annoys me when people give others looking for advice information like what's been stated above.

Yup, dis guy knows what he talking about. You cannot teach a dog anything with a shock collar.

Most people i see that are having problems with their dog just dont give the dog enuff patience and try other tools that just mess the dog up. They think a dog gonna learn stuff way to fast and they just get frustrated with them. Traing a dog takes a lot of time and patience and some people just cant handle it IMO.
