[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 384433, member: 5106"] Big Bull I have used a shock collar and still do because it saves their lives (the dogs).Sometimes they just can't stay off the road so when that happens the collar goes on and when they wonder near the road they get a warning and then zapped.Works really well and when they forget it gets pulled out again and used again. BUT shock collars do not work on smart dogs ie. Border Collies you put that collar on and they will sit and do nothing until it comes off.So in my opinion they are great for stupid dogs when training and reasoning doesn't sink in.They are also good for puppies to train to avoid dangerous situations but if the puppy is smart you can only use the collar once as they will always know when you put it on them what it is. SO if you use a collar on your dog in question you will get one chance to train and correct the bad behavior.It sounds like a smart one and if you mess up it will know the next time you put the collar to be a little angel.And when the collar comes off the bad behavior reappears.If it is your last resort then I would say go ahead and try. I am not an advocate for the collars and try everything else first before I even think of using it but when a dog continuosly goes on the road and you can yell and scream and do every bargaining tool in the book I will use it if it means my girls and boy stay alive.
