I agree that if you don't teach your dog what he did wrong he will not know how to behave and will replace the behavior with fear or aggression. It stands to reason that is the same way anyone has to train even a child, by repetition, praise and reward.
I have done this with Cooper and I also do not believe that I will have to use this device more than another day or two. Thankfully it was loaned to me and I did Not have to purchase it.
I have had good luck with this and stand firm in my decision to use it. I Again emphase that I did not use the Shock portion only once and IF I had to purchase one or in the future do purchase one I will by the kind that has the tone correction only and that is hand held.
I do aprecieate that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. |
