we've used them for years training our labs and bird dogs, used the right way it is no different than a whistle. ecollars are for getting attention, not for punishment and as many have already stated education is the key, and by education i mean you fullly charge the unit and hold it in your hand and see how much is takes to get your own attention, i have personally done this cause i am the type tht will never do anything to my dogs that i wouldnt do to myself. ecollars are very useful tools and yes if it is used incorrectly it will damage a dog, but a person has to knw the limits. People tht own them should seriously try the differnt levels on themselves and see that it is low voltage and it gives more of a tingle then a shock, and if you cann't test it on yourself then you have no right to put it on your dog...
jus my 2cents....
