OK I only got to page two on the responses to this. It is not torture to use a shock collar.
My Teddy the love of my life wears one all the time. He is just over three and if I take it off he barks even in his sleep. I do know how to train a dog and have been around dogs for over 50 years including breeding. Some times there is no other choice.
Teddy doesn't bark with the collar on with it off he will bark non stop.
I would not use it on a Yorkie under 8 LBS as it would be to strong for them Teddy is around 16 lbs and it is fine.
My little Chelsey at just over 5 lbs barks alot but her bark is nothing like Teddys barking I can live with it. And it is not constant.
I really hate when people are way to opinionated and say things like it is torture, I find this offensive!!!!!
