those training collars are for certain dogs witha certain attitude and they need to be started on the dogs young if they are needed at all, if you think you can just order it and throw it on your dog especially a 3 yr old with no training then save your money and send it back. first off to train a dog u need to be trained yourself, and my old man always told me you dont train the dog you train yourself to know how to get the dog to do what you want, i have only trained 5 dogs in my life, three labs a chessie and a nova scotia toller the labs were a peice of cake the male chessie was a bit of a knot head but he matured and was awesome the toller i have now hes 4 yrs old and was the hardest dog to train, a pro tld me i was wasting my time but 4 yrs later with training 4 - 5 days a week for 15 20 minutes hes a good dog he doesn't break and can do multiples and im pretty confident that by next yr he will know some hand signals, you might as well start all over a 3 yr old thats never hunted isn't going to hunt how you want him to and if you put that collar on him and think that will make him hunt all your going to have is a lab that flinches when you sneeze
i'll tell you what if your that stupid then your better off buying a started dog and having a pro finish him
