RE: ?'s on German short hair training
Burning any dog is about like spanking a child! Don't do it, untill the dog knows what you want him to do and he says "kiss off" (or something like that). When he defies you, then use the collar to prove to him you still have control. Before I put a hot collar on my GSP, I put it on my wrist to see how bad it is. I didn't like it, but darn it really isn't that bad. I've seen dogs outrun the range of a hot collar and others hardly react at all. Keep a cool head to keep from ruining a good dog. Jim
