And there are dogs, as SAR dogs, who you can't give them the choice. You need them to work unleashed and you'll need, sooner or later, to work near cattle.

Exactly!! All the e-collar did was stop them from "checking out" and getting wild at a great distance. I lived on 10 acres at the time, with 3 fully fenced.
