In fact during formal work it is off more than it is one at the advanced training level.

Every single second. The collar chargers reside on top of the crates and they are put on as soon as the door opens and taken off right before it closes. I trust my dogs and I trust my training. What I don't trust is my 8 month old, the cats, the teenager next door that taunts them, and in the case of my bitch, any dog of any sex of any persuasion that so much as looks her way. I just like to have back-up, as only one perfect Person ever walked the earth and the stakes are waaaaay to high with the type of dogs I own to risk imperfection.
