This would be a VERY bad idea. These collars were not and are not designed to be used for these behaviors. You run the risk of creating a fearful or aggressive dog.
1. Enroll him in basic obedience classes.
2. Work on what you are taught in class DAILY.
3. Play with your dog.
4. Walk your dog.
5. Crate your dog if you can not watch him.
6. "Wear" your dog. This means attaching a leash to your belt loop and clip it to the dog's collar. You will know where your dog is at all times, control where he goes, and know when he needs to potty.
A remote collar is not the way to go.
I'm a professional trainer and behaviorist, and work with a lot of dogs. There is not a single one that I would ever tell to use a remote collar like this with.
However, my dad does a lot of off leash work with his dog. In this case, a remote collar is used ONLY as a back up!!! It is NOT a replacement for good obedience training. |
