    Does your dog have a shock collar?

    I personally think they are cruel, especialy for small dogs.

    They actually don't recommend them on dogs under 15 pounds :P

    Anyway is there just a "no" option? I'm neither for nor against them. But I've never had to use one with any of my pups so lol But they do seem to work VERY well with some dogs

    No, I don't see a need for them plus they hurt quite a bit (I tried one on myself when my friend bought one for her dog just to see what the dog would feel). I don't mind the citronella collars but I still don't see a need for them either. I think most dogs should be able to learn to stop barking on command.

    I really don't like them, there are better methods of training. Unless if a dog is truly out of control and will only respond to the shocks, then I think they are generally used by people who are too lazy to take time to actually train their dogs themselves.

    No, I agree that their are better ways to train your dog.
    I'm not exactly for them, but I don't think people are evil or cruel for using them. My dad often kids with me and says he's going to buy Ethan one since Ethan has a barking issue when he goes outside. But I know he's kidding.
    In short, our dogs don't have one now, nor will they ever.

  6. Im not for them.. but in some cases there are people who need them as a last resort.
    i think i would rather the dog have a shock collar then being taken the pound.

    I wouldn't ever put one on my dog. There are much better methods of training. And sending a shock of electricity through a living animal is definetly NOT one of them!

    no way, I can't imagine seeing one on any dog.

    but if he has one, I'll be sure to have one on me too.

    Nope, I wouldnt put one on my dogs in a billion years. I have seen how strong they are on humans so i can just imagine how much they hurt on dogs. As said before there are better ways for training a dog, and sending an electrical current through their body is not one of them.
