E-Collars, Dog Training and Honesty

[@ShamanicSavant]

Well said, in about as neutral a tone as humanly possible. Dogs don't like being corrected but that's kind of the point, and why corrections work. Done properly it's just clear communication, not punishment. I'll always opt for the best tool for the task at hand, and by best I mean the most efficient and effective. I want my dog to learn, not just train. I encourage the behavior I want, and discourage the behavior I don't. It makes things crystal clear for the dog, as well as being fair and honest. Dogs understand emotions better than words, it's OK to let them know how you feel, and only fair to be honest about how you feel. Nature doesn't just teach everything in it what to do, it also teaches what not to do... because both are equally important and balance is the supreme law of nature. E collars work better than any other tool in the box for certain situations. Using them in those situations is just smart and doing what's best for you and your dog. Any tool can be abused... even treats and praise. I wish I had a nickel for every owner I see praising bad behavior or trying to bribe their dog into listening to them with treats. Dogs not only respect, but want good leadership in the confusing world of living amongst us in society. Proper discipline won't damage your relationship with your dog, being a weak leader who's afraid to will. People don't respect anyone they can walk all over with impunity, so why should our dogs? The whole force free training movement is just more toxic positivity brainwashing designed to suppress critical thought and dissenting opinion. It's not in anyone's best interest :)

We have used e and prog collar in the past to train our 2 year old male intact GSD. Represonded very well to this traing . We now have a 5 month old XL Bully. I am a very responsible owner my dog was 6 week old when the ban came in force is Scotland and any pups who could not be sold to someone willing to pay the exception fee and certificate. Other rules that he would have to be neutered by 1yro muzzles in walks. I love my dog and I have asked my vet to help me with his traing but they won't let us use any of the tools we used previously we are not to even correct the dog. I do send my ground but the make me feel like an awful dog owner when I explain to them I am going to have 2 neutered male dogs in my house I know if they ever were to fight I would be seriously injured my partner could be as well but he is stronger. I would really like any advice you can give especially how to bring up a XL Bully puppy who I will have until the end. I FEEL I NEED TO INSTIL STRUCURE AND DISAPLINE TO STOP FUTURE INNCIDENT so sorry for long comments

Appreciate your video. I'm just wondering what's on this thumbnail

The consequences of an untrained dog. E-collars are unique in training dogs to actively avoid prey animals like sheep. When dogs chase/attack sheep, this is the legal and socially acceptable consequence. This is considered less invasive than a momentary electrical pulse.

Peer pressure affects everyone, its not just a thing teenagers go through at school. Since the ability to judge others has risen exponentially since the internet and social media, its become hugely obvious that humans of all ages are very susceptible to peer pressure. That means most people simply go along with whatever the "socially accepted" thing is, without daring to go against it. And we look back and wonder why craziness happened in the past, from witch trials to genocides. Well, its because the majority of humans go along with the prevailing "right think" (even if its wrong, and we know its wrong). Except the brave few
