No offense Mattito, but if your hunting with a mixed breed, believe that hitting a dog with a newspaper, and believe that 99.9% of dogs can be trained without an e-collar...you really shouldn't be using one.

It takes a lot of expirence and training to properly use a collar. Even the pros occasionally ruin a dog with an e-collar. The collar can't train a dog to do anything....it just reinforces a command. Besides, it sounds like the dog is already collar wise with regard to jumping on people.

If the dog is jumping on people without the collar on....then it hasn't been trained at all. It just knows to obey when that thing is strapped around it's neck.

I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but unless that dog is going to live with an e-collar around it's neck, you need to get the help of a good pro to teach you some e-collar basics.

Just my 2 cents.
