Dogs in the wild if they show pain are dead in minutes so they are very guarded in what they show.
There is no reason to use any method on a dog that causes pain of any kind ever !!!!

thank you for the info about the pain med help with healing. i didn't know that.
yes, i think its bad to use pain as a teaching method.
and just because they have one part of their body designed so that their moms can carry them by their necks doesnt mean they aren't sensitive to pain.
little baby milu wines all the time if something hurt her. so i feel that they are sensitive to pain.
i love my milu so much, i cannot imagine putting a bark collar on her!
the key is to work with them on the "speak" and "quiet" commands - which i should be working with milu on as well, i haven't done it yet because she is not a barker.
