Okay I know many people are going to think this is a really bad training method. Please don't critize me. Im just trying to help. I belive in positive reinforcement, but I got a shock collar after my dog almost got hit by a car (because she wasn't listening to me). I beileve the use of a shock collar has helped my dogs training and safty. I have shocked myself with it it doesn't hurt just startles you. Anyway the only thing I use it for is little stuff like that. Some things like that positive reinforcement just is not effective. It only took two times of catching her in the litter box, and she never went in there again. I would say that in 6 months I have only shocked my dog maybe 20 times and it has really helped her obediance.

Please don't critize me for this training method. Im just trying to give you possible ideas that may help.
