-Shock Collars-

I had the same problem with my dogs chasing small animals. I have been using an e-training collar for about 2 wks and it has worked well. I use just enough of a pulse to get their attention back on me. Then give the recall and its works well. I use the sportdog 400 collar.

 

i have a dog here that wouldnt be able to stay here without one, most will get buzzed a few times and then know better. All I have to do is hold the collar out the door and show them and they shut up or if I have to put it on I can leave the power off most the time.

some stupid dogs will continue to bark but it works for some dogs

here's the one I use, $60

Essential Pet PDBC-300 Deluxe Bark Collar

 

yea i was thinking about one of those too, but im talkin bout the shock collars for obediance purposes.
for instance, i take them out to ride the trails in the rice fields behind my house. most part of the year there is NOBODY out there which is the only reason i take em off the leash & let them run next to me. but there was a time i seen some hunters with theyre labs about 150 yrds away, i jumped off the bike and grabbed loco and put him on the leash real quick.
im affraid if that happened again i may not be so quick to notice and things would prolly have gotten ugly.
now i dont expect a shock to deterr a super hot dog from scratchin into another.
but hell, it cant hurt to try! lol

 

Laced, now that I know you aren't an ax murderer, I can show you how to use an e-collar and you can test to see if it works with Loco or not. lol I've got a Dogtra 200 NCP Gold.

 

how do you know im not an ax murderer??? lol

yea you should come by one of these times ill be out there, you know where its at now.

 

it didnt phase my dogs they kept on running,, one would even foam at the mouth but didnt pay no attention to the collier:rolleyes:

 

Then it wasn't used properly. You should get, at bare minimum, on any dog at least an ear flick in acknowledgment to the sharp shock feeling.

Oh, and BBB, you've got a phenomenal collar. That's the one I use.

 

Ive tried the shock collar on my Pitty before but I have come to the conclusion that you have to put the settings kinda higher for her compared to other dogs. So I stopped using it

 

:eek: shcoked.

 

damn i cant believe this thread is still circulating.

 

LOL! I can't believe it's on two forums! Did ya ever go out to Dobbs in Marysville? Oh +2 on the Dogtra collars, best bang for the buck!

 

yea i went out there, it was the shittiest shithole i ever seen lol

ok, i spent an hour trying to find the place. when i did it was a hole in the wall, literally.
it was literally a 50 x 50 ft shed on the side of the road. lol

 

E-collars are awesome for proofing, too many people use them improperly for training though. Yes you can zap the hell out of a dog to get it to do something but it isn't really learning just avoiding.

 

LOL!!! It might be small, but it has allot of good gear for hunting dogs and the best selection of professional shock collars... or at least it did back in 2001. It sounds like it shrunk a little. :dunno:

Oh, did I tell ya it was out in the middle of BFE!

 

lol no you forgot to mention that part, lol unfortunately i had to learn the hardway, the cold part about it was it was closed when i got there!:cool:

 

Collar used to get dogs attention like a choker does or a prong.To be used with a correction. look up videos on you tube titled thats my dog by robin macfarlane.

 

choke chains dont belong on bulldogs, anyways the point was so i can take them running off leash & what not.
but im not even really interested anymore this is an old thread

 

they sale a 9 volt collar its the only one that has worked on my dogs and let me tell ya it hurts the others dont even get a flinch out of my dogs if they are fired up but the 9 volt gets there attention!!!!!!!!

 

:rofl2:I laughed so hard when I read this I think i pissed myself a little bit! I did the same thing, but I was only going from Lincoln. I yelled at the wife that she was making us late and when I got there it was closed. 2 funny!

 

never said choke chains belonged on em my dogs are all off the leash trained ..ur not interested in having them nicely trained any more just trying to help a old brother out
