Does your dog have a shock collar?

[WolvesRawk]

They work for some dogs but not for others. I used one on my dog, she hated it and rebelled. My neibor used one and her dog behaved very well. My other neibor used a invisible fence and now the dog tries to attack people on the street because he connected the people with the shocks when he was just comeing to say hi. Some dogs react differently to the shock collars, sort of like some react differently to choke chains.

A shock collar is not an option I would ever consider.

I voted the wrong one. There should be a no option. I have considered tone training long range collars for Niño but he ran through scat mats several times at a friend's house, so I don't think it would really effect him

i'm not for nor against them.A shock collar would be a last resort for me.

[k9krazee]

I don't have one, never used one, never have seen one used and I probably would never own/use one in the future (at least I hope not). I do see it as an absolute last resort but it actually shouldn't come to that.

I belive there are much better ways of training a dog.

same here. they are cruel and shouldn't be used on ANY dog IMO!!

Autumn has one for when my stepdad gets grumpy about her siren bark. It doesn't hurt bad, I've been shocked by it, but I don't like the things that stick into the neck. It has to be uncomfortable for those things to be poking your neck, it has to be tight to work properly. I've been working with her and my stepdad though and she's getting better. He gets into this angry jealous rage because she only barks at men and he's the only man in the house.

Nope, I would never put one on my dogs. There are better, more positive ways of training then sending shocks through their body.

A friend of mine put up the shock fencing and we both held the collar to the fence and it ave me a good shock.....i threw the colar it scared me so much not in a million years could i do that

Well I have to say I "tried" to use one on Bon.

We tried everything to get him to quit jumping on the window of the house but nothing worked, so I asked a friend of mine if I could borrow hers.
Oh, it will make him get off but it scares the crap out of him. We tried it a couple of times and that was it.

It may work for some dogs and it possibly could have even worked for him but I just couldn't stand it. Nope...never again.

I didn't check one, as my answer is a simple no, as it wasn't needed. He wasn't fenced in & he never left the yard, so there was never a reason to get one. However I've seen them on dogs before & all was well.

i wouldn't put one on my dogs. you can contain your dogs in other ways than a shock collar.
