[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1646000, member: 24016"] As others have said, training a working dog starts with obedience. If you are concerned about getting him to call off, start him on stock on a long line in a small area. It's been a long time now since I've needed a shock collar, and I don't plan to ever have another dog that needs one. The male I use right now needed a collar for a while... he is hard of hearing and I used the vibrate setting to get him to look back at me when working away from me since he can't hear clearly at over about 200 feet away. Once he learned to check my visual cues, the collar was not longer necessary. Keep your commands clear and consistent from the beginning of training. Studies have proven dogs read voice tone and body language as a means to understand commands, so keep that in mind as well. Beyond that advice, when it comes to training anything other than a ACD, I have no experience of value.... [/QUOTE]
