ditto could not agree more when it comes to small breeds. However I do think they serve a purpose with larger dogs. There are lots of places in our country that will not allow people to have fences. Many of my friends use them successfuly without having to hardly use a shock, most eventually have it dialed way down and it beeps several feet before they go over the line. I feel if used properly it is much better than having a dog stuck on a tie out or couped on in the house or having the dog get run over.
