To the previous pps If you were in Britiain you would not be allowed to use your torture device.  They don't care that it is on vibrate. They don't care that your dog "happily comes to you" IT IS CONSIDERED CRUEL AND YOU ARE HORRIBLE HUMANS[/quote]

NP.  My guess is you have no clue how the vast majority of these actually work.  They have settings for the power level and are used by many to simply to buzz or beep - which gets your dog's attention and causes ZERO discomfort.  I literally put the collar we bought a few years ago on myself and tested the settings which went from like 0 to 50.  YES!  Anything above say 40 would feel like a pinch/shock - and while tolerable, I would never do that to my dogs.  But at levels 0 to 25 it just buzzes like those pucks restaurants used to give you so you know when they are ready to seat you.  There is NOTHING cruel or inhuman about a buzz and/or beep.  And everyone I've known who use them 1) do not set them so they 'shock' their dog and 2) often only need to use them for a brief period of time while training.  We used one for training maybe 4 months and never touched it again.  But it was enough to help us teach our very large dog not to jump on the neighborhood children.

I agree that these can be used in an abusive manner by people who ARE cruel and inhumane.  Just like alcohol, guns and many other things in life.  A reasonable person would acknowledge this and not call everyone that uses them cruel and horrible humans. [/quote]
