A training question for dog owners

Ranger_B · 01-23-2011, 06:01 PM

I have used e-collars for off leash work with my malinois. He has some crazy drive and he took to the collar very quickly. We recently adopted a dog and she has just started with the collar. I was against them at first. The one I am using now has a page function that buzz/beeps before I need to sting him or her. I agree with the other posters that you may want to start with socializing your dog first. Dog parks and taking your dog to public places may get him adjusted to the sights,sounds and smells of other people. On the plus side he is a great dog at protecting your house.
