I use e-collars as an added safety measure because my dogs are free to roam around when we walk.
I live in Maine on a dead end dirt road but we have lots of wildlife and the occasional car so I need to be sure my dogs will come to me despite any distractions.
They are trained to come to me when they hear a beep. In this video I am training my youngest dog Rio to come to me whenever she hears the beep.
Lots of people hate e-collars but I try to explain that it isn’t the e-collar that’s the problem, it’s the person running it. In the wrong hands it can be a cruel tool but so can a leash or bare hands. Anything can be used with ill intention so stop blaming e-collars when it’s the A-hole holding the remote that is the problem.
