Review on 🐶 Remote Dog Training Collar - Rechargeable Waterproof Electric Collar with Beep, Vibration, Shock and LED Light Training Modes, Range of 1500 Feet - Bark Collar for Small, Medium, and Large Dogs by Daniel Boudreau

First of all I would like to say that a shock collar is definitely not my first choice. I disagree with your premise. BUT, my black lab/pit rescue was almost put to sleep due to aggression toward humans and other dogs. The day I brought him home, I was his last chance. And this dog is so beautiful in so many ways. He gets along well with children. With us he never gets ugly. He is sweet and loving. He also gets along well with cats. However, I have never gotten him to be okay with men or other dogs no matter what I tried and I have had him for a few years now. He's probably around 5. I can't take him anywhere, which is very sad. It's made for sports. He can't go for a walk. He loves water. I can't take it to the lake. And recently he broke one of my windows to get at a man walking his dog. :/ At the moment the dog is a danger to himself and others, so I consulted the vet. The vet said the medication wasn't working and had him put to sleep. :/ Then I consulted with a trainer who works with aggressive dogs. They said they could help, but it would cost $3,000. I then found out that the trainer was using an electronic collar and against the advice of several trainers who said I was likely to make the dog more aggressive I decided to try it myself. "I actually bought a book on gentle dog training with an electronic collar. He gave me step-by-step instructions on choosing the right tools and training. This collar didn't have everything they said I needed, but it was pretty close and the price was right. First of all, I don't use the collar "as a punishment" or as a punishment. The book I use says to treat it like a pat on the back - use the lowest possible setting to get the dog's attention if he's not responding, and there's plenty of practice getting the dog used to that Collar and hearing to get used. Commands/which waits a long time before pressing the button. Without that kind of setup and preparation, I wouldn't feel comfortable using this. I should also add that I actually tried it on myself on lower settings before putting it on my dog. It sounds crazy, but it took me that confidence to know exactly what I was doing to the dog before I did it to the dog. On low settings I don't feel it at all. I'm not recommending people to do what I did, but I can safely say it didn't "hurt" at the level I used it at. We are still in the early stages of the training program and the dog usually responds quickly and without prompting. but when i tap on it, it shows no pain. However, he begins to do what he needs to. All of this work should form the basis for the aggression training that follows, so I can't say for sure if we're getting to the point where he will obey. than growling or following, but as a primary learning tool I can say it was very helpful. I appreciate that it has multiple intensity levels and has kept it very low so far. No hassles charging or flipping the collar. It's only worn in short bursts (up to an hour or so) during active training.
