Why use an E-collar?

 

E-collar training is essential for off-leash ability. It is also a non-emotional correction, which won't deteriorate the relationship you have built. High-level stimulations are useful for significantly decreasing unwanted behaviors; this type of stimulation should only be used in extreme situations where nothing else has worked (e.g. running into a busy street or approaching other threatening animals).
