I am starting a training program with Camo, my show boy. He is a bit on the spoiled side, but has manners in public. He has an issue with the ball, not knowing when to stop. I do realize, all of this is my fault and I am now trying to start him in Herding and want to gain more control and learn more about training.
The guy that I will be working with sometimes uses a tool called an E collar. I had never even seen one before going to his kennel. I tested it on my hand and it wasnt very harsh, but my question is, do alot of you use this tool when training?
My dogs ball is kind of like a babys pacifier. I use it to keep him under control. I understand that this is ass backwards. He is supposed to get the ball as a reward for being under control and that is why I am asking this guy for help.
The center and this trainer are highly reccomeneded and the Humane society for our county even uses them to help dogs they are trying to adopt out, with phobias and different behavior problems. I do trust these people, I just wanted to hear about others experiences.
