I think he's got it completely backwards. I think that the dog may show a bit of hesitancy at first (especially if you're just using the Ecollar as a correction tool, as most do) but then he'll get over it and forget it's there. That's what you want in the long run anyway, for the dog to ignore it.

If he does have it on, he goes into another room, avoiding the stimulis of the other dog "picking a fight". |
I'd say that you've not used the Ecollar as I advocate. As to whether that's "wrong" I can't say. But it doesn't seem to have given you what you want. Based on that, I'd call it wrong. You might want to take a look at my articles and see if they make sense to you.
