E Collar Question

[Steve K9Pro]

... so that's why the collars with more levels tend to be more popular with trainers who do low stim training? because more levels gives you more opportunity to 'find' the right working level for each dog.

You got it, Huski

Sorry, just had to jump in and share my totally useless, yet funny (well to me!) story pertaining to my OH and e-collars.

Mere male was trying out the e-collar one evening to see which level he would be able to "feel" anything. Thinking he had it on level 1, he presses the button and all of a sudden I hear this high pitch squeal followed by a thud. I look over to see him on the floor staring blankly at the remote in his hands. After I finally managed to stop laughing (which seemed like an eternity), he figures out that he had it set all the way to level 10 (which is the highest for this particular model)....no wonder he felt the world shake

But have his response times to commands improved though ??? :D

Or is he still not proofed under distractions?

Actually, IMO another e-collar success story. He had dinner on the table that time that you and I came back from the Kelpie muster . OH - Nil. E-collar - 1.

Way to go

(PS .... Good work, Kelpie-i's OH :D ..... you know I love you :rolleyes: )
