Personally I think a beagle is too small for a shock collar, and that particular breed is know to bay when bored. She should have either taken him to a doggy day care or not picked out that breed (I personally believe this breed is a family dog since it requres so much stimulation to keep it pleasant).
Most of these collars come with notes that state that if the dog does more than twitch his ear or look at you when the shocking is initiated then it is too strong of a current for the dog. If he was yelping that that was def. too high of a setting for him and needed to be lowered, and if it was on the lowest setting it just goes to show what I stated before, it's not a good solution for a toy breed. They're just too small...I'm so sorry for that beagle, she was using it as a torture device and not using it as it should have been. |
