Dear Don, I want to thank you for the comprehensive information on your site regarding e collars. In desperation, we purchased one for our dog. Unlike many folks referenced in the studies, I read a lot about how to use it before ever putting it on my dog. I then worked a few days using only the beep. Then I tried the next phase using the lowest setting. I did not like the results. Cagney showed me some apprehension toward me. (which is totally unacceptable and the last thing I ever want). I took the collar off immediately. After a bit, I was petting him and noticed he felt warmer on his belly and below. The whole thing didn't feel right so I am returning the collar. Cagney has a big problem with doorway behavior. He is extremely protective of me and my husband when anyone enters. And he has nipped at people when they have gotten up from the couch and walk across the room. I intend to go back to either my former behaviorist or someone else. But not to these collars. I thank you so much for sharing this info as I know you care deeply for dogs. Bless you. Now I will work on the guilt I have for even purchasing this item. I need to do the work of working with my dog....not relying on a quick fix. Sincerely, Jo Anna K. – January 2015 |
