I have a question. I am getting a collar for one of my very hyper dogs just like the one in the video. Will I always have to use the collar or will this train them so well that I will not need to use it after so much time?

@Iamcorrectingyou The goal of any training tool is to assist you in building a better relationship and teaching the dog to pay attention to you and listen when you give a command/cue. However, how reliable your dog becomes depends how much effective practice you put in and on the dog themselves. Some are far more biddable than others. You may want to have the e-collar on your dog when out and about just as extra insurance in case you need it to remind him/her.

I don't use an ecollar myself, but have enjoyed watching your video's and the great work you are doing. Putting yourself out there to try and educate people on the proper use of this tool is commendable. Personally I could not remain anywhere near as levelheaded and polite in my responses to the many uneducated and hostile responses you get to your work. I think you are a credit to yourself and your profession.

@2000pgscott Thank you, I appreciate those words very much.

@fetterArsch I am sorry you feel that anyone that uses an e-collar is impatient, stupid, sadistic and lazy, that certainly paints millions of people with a nasty brush. But I guess we will have to agree to disagree. Electronics make our lives easier, they make training dog's easier. Of course any tool can be misused or abused, but I am doing my best to educate that is doesn't have to be that way. You might find my blog, TheTruthAboutShockCollars of interest. Anyway, have a great day.

Dogs trained with shock collars and invisible fences may develop fears or aggression toward what they believe is the source of the shock (e.g., kids on their bikes, the mail carrier, the dog next door, etc.). Dogs have been known to run through invisible barriers when frightened by fireworks or when chasing a squirrel and then be too scared to cross back through the barrier to return home.

@2000pgscott An "ecollar"? Isn't that what vets use to keep the animal from biting at surgery sites and the such? Also known as the "cone" by lay people? I thought ecollar is short hand term for Elizabeth collar...

Thank you for such a great video! I really feel like your method of training is superb. I can see all types of training, and not all types of training work for every dog. Some dogs truly do respond better to these types of stimulations, and i applaud you for trying to get TRUE, GOOD information out there.

Don't know much about it, do you? I wore it myself before I used it on my dog. It's just an attention getter.

shock collars are only as inhumane as the trainer, have you tried a level 1 shock? its not that bad.... me and my friends screw around with each other with those novelty prank toys (a stick of gum when you pull the stick it shocks you) which are way worse than those collars. im sure you could shock the shit out of a small dog on full level, but who in their right mind would do that? like i said it's only as inhumane as the trainers.
