No offense but I find it hypocritical to want to place what's essentially a torture device on a dog and coming on a discussion forum that is dedicated to dog lovers! I did not call YOU anything, I was using these words to describe these shock collars and the people that have invented them! To give you the benefit of the doubt; you have not used this shock collar yet on your dog but the fact that you're even entertaining the idea repulses people! If you love your dog then you should want what's best and healthy for him and not want to punish him with a shock collar for behavior that is YOUR fault in the first place by clearly confusing him by sending mixed messages! Some great resources for research has been provided for you but you don't seem to even be remotely interested in discussing or admitting that what you have been doing so far is not working for you or your dog and searching for a better way! Instead, you blame your dog and haven't even considered that it might be your own fault! Wouldn't it be great if you could learn how to make your dog behave again without the use of these collars?????!!!! Societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, PETA, no kill shelters..... google it and you will find many such places, many opinions and arguments
against the use of such collars!

So if there are any owners out there who have used these collars in the past, I would greatly appreciate the feedback.
Having said that, I hope anyone who is against these collars is a vegan. Otherwise they're just being hypocritical. |
