| Re: E-collars
Seems to me the people who're singing you the praises of e-collars are selling them.
Let's say you put an e-collar on Chopper. He starts off after something or other. You stim him. He stops. You call him. He doesn't come to you.
Do you propose to stim him again? What if he still doesn't come to you when you call?? You're going to have to go after him and if he sees you coming after him, he may take off. Are you going to stim him??
I think you'd be better advised to continue training, put up a fence, or put your dogs on a long line--it doesn't seem to me you've thought thru exactly why you're looking at such a solution to what appears to be an issue better addresssed by more training. |
