why are all the dogs wearing shock collars?

[badolan]

Sit Happens (now renamed) does e-collar training. You can adjust the collar intensity level which is set at the lowest level that the dog responds to. Hunting dogs have been trained with e-collars for decades. The police are also now regularly using them. If you try one in your hand, you'd see that they are not cruelly used. In the video, mine wasn't turned on.

Take care ...

i've done what he says - shock my hand with my cousin's dog's e collar. it doesn't hurt at a low setting, but would get your attention. i don't use one on my dog but i wouldn't be against it, as long as it wasn't set high enough to hurt.

It's nice to know that someone has an open mind. Good for you! You actually tested it out for yourself. I'm impressed. You are correct. The e-collar is mainly used to keep the dog's attention. It is not intended to be turned up enough to hurt the dog. It should be considered more like a pager for your dog.

Very observant of ou. I never noticed the colar until I read your post. I don't know however wether the shock collars actually hurt them or not. I would deffiently try it on myself before trying one on my dog. If it hurts me, my dog would never see it!

I'm having difficulty with crooked sit's!

I train alone most of the time as I've been unable to find a class that will allow me to bring my pit.

His he is coming along nicely, but swings his ass out on the automatic sit...I think so he can see the treat in my hand....

if I use a wall or another person he does it fine, but as soon as there is nothing there he sit's crooked.

Any suggestions?

Shock collars are bandaids. By forming a bond with your dog, and training the dog you can achieve the same results. Shock collars are nothing more than a bandaid for people who don't want to take the time to train a dog to pay attention to them despite distraction. None of those dogs would be calm sans the e-collars. I'm not impressed.

Sorry to troll but @ .21 you say "sit" and she starts "down" then you say "down", lol no worries it sometimes happends>!

[CuChiBaRaCuNdiNgA]

@badolan correct me if I'm wrong but the UKC registers APBT and the AKC registers AmStaffs, they go by the exact same standards Pits go>!

[CuChiBaRaCuNdiNgA]

@vikingjustice15 not an expert but this seems to be learned behavior... MAYBE you (or someone else) pets her of does something she likes when she does that, and so she wants to be petted... MAYBE>!

my AmStaff does this sometimes but it is important to remember that you give food, water, play, and love when YOU want not when she ask =)
