Shock collars

Just because we can use this type of punishment, does not mean we should.

This dog stopped eating when
boarded with a male trainer.

I am once again called upon to help with a rescue dog that wants to attack humans.  Not just bite, I mean lunge, snarl and do what ever it needs to do to keep any man from coming near him.  


Ask your self why would a dog be so hostile and angry with a man coming near it?  Because we are now familiar with this dogs history, like many before, we again are faced with the unfortunate fact that a trainer, in this case a male tried to punish a fearful dog.


Please make sure that any "trainer" you employ is Certified with the Association Of Pet Dog Trainers and is able to provide you with a Positive Rewards Based Training Plan.

Why does Sheila not trust hands?

Sure you CAN shock your dog for barking at your neighbor each morning, but do not be surprised when your dog bites that man who he now associates with punishment.


There are reams of studies and stories from trainers, scientists and behaviorists that lead me to believe e-collars and/or remote collars have a great potential for misuse, whether intended or unintended.  So before you use this correction on your dog, I suggest you use it on yourself or even one of your children if you dare.  It is not pleasant, nor is it effective.
