Clicker is good

the best thing about clicker training is that it is actually fun for the dog because there is no punishment involved meaning the dog doesnt fear training and is actually using its drive to please to do the commands as opposed to his fear of getting hurt for not doing them. The dogs that i have seen with remote training are actually usually very great dogs but when they hear that beep of the remote thier body drop low and they brace for the shock, even if it is just a warning. it can really scare them, I do however condone them when used with proper training for YOU bya professional, it saved the life of one of my past dobies. It is something only for extremely hard dogs that dont respond to other forms of training, and i feel a last resort.

stick with the click. I think you will like the dog that comes out of it. and the dog will love you for not shocking the @#*& out of it.
