Before you crank the e-collar up to the max & scramble her brains like some seem to be suggesting, see if you can't hunt the dog down, and by down I mean too tired to pace in the dog pen or even step outside the dog house other than to drink & eat until it gets dark. I have a Sun pup here that is wild as they come. If I don't keep him hunted down and pretty tired, or when he lays-up a couple days & gains all that extra energy back, he stays so wired-up & hyper till he is liable to do most ANYTHING when he's turned loose. If you're able to hunt 5-6 nights a week or have a hunting buddy you trust to help u tag-team the dog, try wearing her down before you do anymore with the shock collar. The dog's already confused. I don't believe she knows why your shocking her, or at least she thinks you're shocking her for some entirely different reason. Shock collars are a great tool, so long as u really & truly know what you're doing, & as long as the dog hasn't been shocked by someone else like a previous owner for something & you're correcting her for another.
she has got a good handle on her for sure. doesn't pull walks on the left side and is very gentle. she doesn't jack tree and stays in place on the tree and sometimes she sits down and trees.
thank you for your time.
If Wimp had her then I'm pretty sure he used an e-collar to put a handle on her. The good thing is that knowing Wimp Aron used it on her, then she hasn't been screwed-up, & u will just have to gradually re-trainer her with the e-collar if wearing her down doesn't work
This is part of the reason I stopped using a shock collar to bring a dog in. It confuses other things other corrections if you're not bad lucky. If my young dog gets on a deer & I shock him off of it, I don't want him coming back into me. I want him to get off the deer & go find me a coon. Some people never can get that idea thru their head, & they wind up with a 5-6yr old dog that when the other dogs in the cast jump a deer, as soon as he figures it out he's back at their feet getting the 15/30min working on him, and his owner just can't understand why he comes back instead of leaving the trashy fools alone & treeing a coon
The other reason is the vast majority of dogs that have handles applied with an e-collar, only have a good handle as long as they're wearing a nice & charged-up T.T. necklace. If you leave it at home(some dogs can tell when the battery's dead), then u better hope u can get to them. It takes alot longer to train it into them in the backyard with only a long rope & a choke-chain, but they don't forget that lesson like they do one learned by negative reinforcement.

But my answer to your question remains the same. Stick with her and the TriTronics.
