RE: bird eating Lab
I have only used the collar on Sally once while she was cheating on a retrieve she immediately dropped the bumper. I spent the rest of the day trying to get her to trust the bumper again. We have been using the E Collar for about 3 months now. She responds well to the corrections while doing obedience training but when she is surrounded by distractions it is a different story. I have nicked her and would see her flinch in response but she would ignore correction and concentrate on the distraction. When she is not distracted she fetches just fine aside from her chomping on the bumper which she gets a smack in the lower jaw for. This only her second dead bird to retrieve and that lack of exposure may be the problem but I’m not sure.
