You can tell it didn't hurt the dog, it just made her be like "oh man, better not do that anymore!" With dogs like that big and strong, I don't really believe it's doing any damage to them. I do think shock collars should only be used as a last resort, though. I would never use a shock collar on a little dog. And he wasn't abusing the shock collar. He used it a few times to get the lesson straight, and then the dog clearly understood so he didn't have to use the collar anymore. I just don't think it's that bad in certain cases but it all depends. |
Then it will not work... goes back to please read excelarted learning( I can pull the right spelling and name again if you need it. To use the collar and make it work you need to zap it once and blow the dog right off its feet. You do zaps at ever slowly increasing ok that word will not come out my fingures....humm resay. ok if you start mild and get stronger the dog darn another word I can not spell resay.... gets used to it so that they do not get effected by the zaps at all and the coller does not have the efect you think it should. Now I can back that up with research out of ok that name gone too. I can pull it if you need to.
Zapers need to be set high very very high for them to stay working and then turned down.
What I am saying it that zapping works but the very first correction with it needs to darn near kill the dog to have a lasting change... and you better do it on the right dog or the wrong one will rediect a bite and get you or the dog will crumble. Wrong dog spends it life cringing at the beep warning that their is a zap coming or a phone beep that a messsage is waiting.. I seen it and we have one that will go to a bite on a beep cause of a zap coller. ( times out of ten that zap that strog will end it it is the tenth time that the dog crubles and you have to repair and work with the rest of your and its life that makes then not ok.
Ok I think that made sence.
