ONly because he's shocking the crap out of the dog and forcing him into compliance.
I can get the same work and better quality out of my dog just by clicker training him.
THe dog hasn't learned how to heel correctly. All he knows is he's avoiding the shock. Certainly not a way to form a bond with the dog.
E-Collars have their time and place, and I've used one myself, but to teach simple walking? That's just laziness.

Fred Hassan admits to not knowing anything about behavior, nor does he care. He merely cares that the dog makes his ego feel better by being compliant.
I could put a shock collar on Fred, if I could remove his ability to take the collar off, I could get Fred to do ANYTHING I WANTED.
Except like or trust me.

I just signed my dog up with Sit means Sit and after the first lesson I was able to leave and come home and NOT be jumped all over for the first time in three years! I'm looking forward to our next lesson immensely! The collar in no way hurts my dog...he's not afraid of it, he's not unhappy while wearing it. My dog is a big SOFTIE too.

Many people totally misunderstand what this trainer is doing! This guy knows his stuff and deserves respect for his work which is highly effective and because he uses these methods properly is nowhere near the cruel method that the closed minded would have us believe. I know "trainers" who complain about the use of E Collars as cruel yet think nothing of beating the shit out of a dog or worse still reject or avoid strong dogs as untrainable. Unbelievable. Get real, dogs are NOT little people!!

works for weims too, a bit firmer when it comes time to tone down anxiety or excitement
for the pit breeds a soft hand with a strong mind does it
i love the sit means sit videos but i cant fucks with the shock collar, even if its just to train
i seen ppl strap them on to dogs all day and night hoping that they stop barking before the hair on their necks falls off. ridiculous
but power if its a tool for you.

The gentle leader leash is a very good training tool in this kind of situation.. I tried it to my rotty and i am very happy of the results.

and you may be asking why I stated clickers can cause damage? I use the example of the dog park for several reasons...one being that many people who have graduated from classes (there are plenty of these "classes" in my area) do not have reliable dogs. I am not saying that clicker training produces unreliable dogs, but rather that clickers (when used in the wrong hands) can produce unreliable dogs which in turn are a danger to themselves and others.

e-collars are banned in many countries simply because people do not understand them. They are pure Americana, developed for hunting dogs.
Any tool when used in the wrong hands can cause damage. Yup, even a god damn clicker! Don't believe me? Go walk down to your local dog park and watch how many people call their dogs multiple times. Many of these people have attended classes where "positive methods only" are used.

You got me there..hmm never thought of it like that. Well thats why you get paid the big bucks... Hopefully one day you'll higher me lol
How can you use a form of stimuli whether you have it on the lightest setting or not. Dogs are more intune to our feelings and emotions than many will ever understand. they do not come into our lives knowing the boundaries and how we want them to behave. We must show leadership and tell them what we are asking not shock it into them...

Do you have any videos of your dogs in action? Perhaps we can get a better visual picture of your outstanding dog training that way. If you don't have any, perhaps we'll pick the discussion back up when you do. Always looking for a better way, but not a useless argument.
