[QUOTE="Andy, post: 562169, member: 5096"] That is why we really hesitated. We did the home work and asked our professional for advise and to train us on the proper use. It can easily be abused and that scared us. Shock collars have a purpose and must be used properly. There are still no guarantees as to how it will effect the dog. Our dog whisperer warned us that Chewy may get rebellious when the collar is off. She is smart enough to get back at us for using it. He also emphasized the importance in increasing the positive attention given as well as very minimal use of the collar. If Chewy kept pushing the limits, instead of receiving more and more shocks, she is removed from the area. She would be taken inside and try again later. I truly believe this worked for us because of the positive attention difficult child gives Chewy. She does not fear going outside or not knowing her boundaries. Each dog is different and the neighbor's dog seems so depressed and unhappy all the time. I never see the kids play with him. Too many people think that is the easy answer but it does not work that way. [/QUOTE]
