Sure do! Tried it on my arm at level 100 one night when I was drunk. Let’s just say my dog will never see level 50...They hurt like hell cranked all the way up.
They hurt like hell cranked all the way up.
That trainer had no idea what he was doing...Brought my dog a long time ago to a trainer that used the collar. My dog was so stressed out afterwards and had diarrhea for a day. Slept the whole ride home and was a mess. I’ll never use one.
I wanted to try them on my kids but the ex vetoed that....wife was out with the dog today and saw a guy using an e-collar to train his dog. Was wondering if anyone here had any experience with one.. thanks.
Pretty much, he was a hackThat trainer had no idea what he was doing...
A fellow man of culture.You're not kidding. Used on my wife once....let's just say dinner has never been late since.
Lol ex you say....I had my EX put a bark collar on once without telling her I installed the battery. That was fun.
Thankfully!Lol ex you say....
In all fairness she probably tells her friends about and ex she has that use to zap her with a bark collar and plays the abused card.Thankfully!
Exactly right. Use the minimum stimulation that gives the desired response. Once dogs get collar conditioned and understand them, they usually respond to less stimulation. The collars are NOT about pain. When used correctly, they are tremendous tools.We have one that as levels, beeps, then vibrates the zaps. Each of those have levels of intensity. We turned the zap off completely, we have small dogs so just beep and vibration get the reinforcement across.
I didn't think it hurt that much. I kinda got used to it and enjoyed itThey hurt like hell cranked all the way up.
I tried it with my last lab. He absolutely knew when the collar was on. Threw the collar away. He ended up being one of the smartest dogs I've ever known.An important thing is also to put it on your dog and leave it on for a couple weeks before using any feature
Make sure the dog doesn't become collar smart
