I took Chizzie to an obedience class where the instructor was a high level agility trainer who had a long list of suggested equipment - she gained a huge amount of respect from me when she said -- I recommend equipment that I have found to be effective -- BUT Chizzie is YOUR dog and you have to use the equipment that is best for her. 
I would also like to add -- GOOD LUCK WITH TRAINING YOUR SWEETIE!! |
She didnt tell me to use the collar, she just recommended it. I said I would try it, but obviously at the end of the day its my own choice. She just probably thinks it will be more beneficial training wise for her.
