Yes, I agree with you, you need to find someone who's experienced in positive reinforcement, it takes longer, but it doesn't bring out bad side effects. You don’t need a collar in order to train a dog, they are taking too many shortcuts. Too many humans want to see results fast, and this type of training often brings fast results, but it's not always long lasting and can produce an anxious dog. Hope you can find a trainer that you like.
