Mr. Biggles bit me this morning

And make a rule what that collar is used for.. Its not to terriorize the dogs.. You bought that collar for barking- thats it..
This is why I disapprove of shock collars.. Its too easy for the dog to have displaced/misplaced aggression problems if not used for one specific thing.. Even then- ANY TRAINING takes time.. Even a shock collar is NOT a instant cure..

I never wanted to go that route as you know. I hate the bloody thing. But I was desperate to get him to stop barking in a forcefully fast time.

Pleas tell me I didn't ruin him permently & that I can get my little man back?

I have lots of time to correct all problems he may have or get (just not the barking) So I'm willing to try just about anything (except the behavourist, as stated above, unless I want Mr. biggles PTS, which I don't!!!)
