In reply to Philip. Hi Philip, Every dog has different levels, even my own, depending on state of mind and distractions while we are doing the training. The best thing to do is start at 0 everytime you first put the collar on for the day and work your way up until you know the dog feels and is responding to the collar. You might find they work at a different level each time.

Hi Duke,

I just wanted to compliment you on your explanation of the “e-collar” and what it’s true purpose is. There is a lot of controversy regarding the ecollar but it’s simply lack of education and misuse of the collar. I offer training and rehabilitation services in Barrie, ON and as I see fit, I will use it but don’t rely on it. It is a great tool and can have huge successes with dog behaviour modification, however it would be nice that only licenced trained professionals could distribute them and educate the consumer on its proper use..!

Regards,
Melanie
