You have to hold it up to your hand and mash the button to judge just how close it has to be.

Just snug enough to keep the prongs in contact with the skin on the neck with their head down.

I'll give this a shot, I understand what your saying you'll get varied opinions I'm sure, this is a very fine line in my view, young dogs learn to work a bad track by doing so experience is the best teacher, they never get better by not trying, moving a young dog along off a track there hung up on to me would best be done with Tone...not shock which would require your dog to be collar broke, I'm not big on shocking my dog off desired game only in emergency cases, but I will tone mine to come in or move on with me at times, hope this helps.....

Y’all shock um to get away from you then you shock them to come here poor dogs don’t know whether they are sacking groceries or carrying out. I think some of the handlers need shocked.



You don’t make a hound overnight pushen that button.

Leg work moving them out paired with a light tickle as they are getting out of there to start out. Eventually just the tickle will get her out of there. You can’t just start shocking on dogs though and expect them to understand what’s going on without the previous work put in.

Too many times that button gets pushed just because we are aggravated. Dog doesn't have a clue what's wrong.

The best two buttons on an e-collar and the most under used are tone and vibrate.

I have thought about moving a dog along from time to time but in the end most of the time the dog shows me it has known more about what's best than I do. If I had to move a dog along much I think I would just get a better dog anyways. Maybe moving a dog along can help 1 but I don't see how it could very much.

It won’t make it finish the one it’s on.

I think you can use an e-collar to teach a dog to drift off older tracks. I think you can use an e-collar for just about anything and it works well. However- if you find you have to use the e-collar to get them to find a track, push a track, stay at a tree, leave your feet, come to you, etc..... by all means do it- but please do not breed to that dog.

If a dog is made through electricity it does not have the dna we want passed on to produce good natural dogs.

I am sorry I forget I come from a time when we trained dogs to win major hunts with high scores without shocking or training collars.


I apologize.
