[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not opposed to e collars and use them myself. But, the training needs to be done correctly or aggression/anxiety are common results.

The hitting and growling are very concerning. If you have kids, I would not allow them around those dogs. Do you know what the dogs were growling at specifically?

If I were you, I’d bring a pocketful of treats when I visited and dispense them to the dogs throughout the visit so they form a good association with you. [/quote]

Same. E-collars are a Godsend for certain dogs and in certain situations, but this seems like an abusive situation. I wouldn't go back there again, and I'd tell them why.

Np. [b]Lets call them what they are shock collars.  You are a lazy owner if you use them and I judge you very harshly.[/b]

Op I would report your SIl and her spouse for animal abuse[/quote]

Some dogs need them. My dog doesn't respond to treats or positive reinforcement AT ALL. Walks were a nightmare and got to the point where I couldn't even walk her.

I've tested the collar on myself and it doesn't even hurt. We keep it at a very low level and it works great to snap her out of it when she gets too hyperfocused on other things on walks, before she starts lunging/jumping.

Just to show how mild it is, she actually hates the vibration setting WAY more than the electronic setting, so much that we don't even use the vibration (and that setting doesn't even hurt). The actual "shock" is far more mild than vibration. [/quote]
