  1. Thanks, I thought that was one point. But is their anymore ways for the dog to become collar smart? I’ve done a search on e-collar but haven’t found anything yet. E-collar people……where are you….? I haven’t used it yet just waiting for my manual from K9 Force to arrive.
  2. I was wondering how you avoid making a dog collar smart. My dog and I are moving to 30 acres. Only 20 acres will have the innotek containment wire around it against a fence (front paddock). So my dog will be wearing this collar during the day while Im at work. Plus i will be using this collar (also a remote e-collar) as a last resort if she decides to start chasing stock. (i have some horses, side neighbours have cattle (if she gets past the containment system) back neighbours have sheep and there's roos occassionally on the property.
  3. I also swithced from supercoat (i didn't know any better at the time) So now i feed Royal Canin. It's twice as expensive than supercoat (maybe a little bit more) but i only have to feed half as much RC than SC, so it really ends up costing the same. Just minus the dull coat, super huge poos. She has the shinest coat now and i have to go searching for her poos to clean up... lol
  4. Try going back to the start again. Like she has never been taught drop before. Tell her to drop, as soon as she does reward and release. Then start increasing the length from the drop to the release word. And in general, make sure you enforce the release command all the time, not just here and there. Maybe this is whats happening or she’s just testing you. Lol
  5. I have done up a chart that shows what products cover and dont' cover as well as the average price for them
  6. I hope he gets bettter and it's nothing too serious. My girl was lame for one month and i was worried it was something bad. I took her to the vet the first day she was lame and he said to crate her for one week. I get home and crate her and take her out for toilet. One day came home from work to see my pup roaming - 60 arces probably chasing a rabbit. My grandma thought i would be good for her to stretch
  7. i would wait until the dog is a bit older. Go to the class in a flat collar for now (if they will allow it) and learn the skills you need for how to use the check chain. If you put this on your pup and don't know how to use it correctly she will become desensitised to the check chain, thus rendering ineffective especially if she pulls through it all the time.
  8. Sorry for your loss. ;) I will never use it but before I learnt about all this my vet talked me out of it purely because of the cost, not the dangers. Glad i didn't do it.
