E-collar Pros/Cons Dos/Don'ts Part 1

I've been asked to do a video on e-collars for years, but have refrained from doing one because if I'm going to talk to someone about e-collars I like to be face-to-face. I want to be sure I'm getting the information I feel is important conveyed properly. However, I decided it was better to have this information out on how I use an e-collar than to not have it out at all. So I hope you gain some information and knowledge on e-collar usage from the video. And I think it is very important to watch both videos, so please watch 1 and 2. I'm sorry that there is two and that they are so long, but again I wanted to be sure to get as much information conveyed as possible, enjoy, George

I have a sport dog e collar with 8 settings, vibrate, and beeper I've tried vibrate and it doesn't faze her but at the same time the level 1 stimulation at times seems far too much were she has a bad reaction such as vocalizing

Some Sport Dog e-collars have a programing setting for Low, Medium, High. What I mean by this is you can be on setting 1, but it is on setting 1 high. Or you can be on setting 1, which is setting 1 low. Also, Sport Dog has models for "stubborn" dogs; I can't remember what they call them. Those models are of higher stimulation than the standard model. Check your instruction manual to see if your model has that type of programming, maybe you can lower the mode. If that is not the case I would look for an e-collar that has much more of a range. Hope this helped, George
