But he doesn't hate the collar.. he gets all wiggly butt when I go to put it on him... I honestly don't think he knows its the collar shocking him.

It doesnt matter- I would bet you this is what happened- the dog has already learned that a bark makes a shock- surprise or pain- its a shock.. The dog would have barked at you when you tried to grab him, and dogs are not stupid- knew a shock was coming- and retaliated against you... I WOULD BET YOU.. Its called " displaced" or" misplaced" aggression...

And- the dog has not had the collar long enough to know it only happens if the collar is on-...

Ohhhhh... Shat, not good... But he does know he can whin, howl, & do low barks, as we were playing with him last night & thats what he was doing.

I just thought of something.. I SCREAMED at Andrew last night. Mr. Biggles was on our couch & Andrew command him off & Mr. Biggles ignored him like always. So Andrew grabbed Mr. Biggles shock collar & tried to pull him off the couch, but Mr. Biggles was pulling back as it was hurting his throat (DUH) 3 flat objects would hurt my throat too of pulled on like that

I was pretty pissed off, as I told both guys NOT to touch his shock collar period, it has to be taken off before his harness is put on & his regular collar has to stay off until he no longer needs the shock collar.

Do you think his throat was still sore from being pulled hard like that?? My poor little man

I hate how Andrew never ever listens & never uses his head
