Thanks for the response. Yes, I'm a coon hunter. I'm training a pretty nice young dog which I haven't done in a while. Also, I am sorta old school and usually would rather correct with the switch when I can rather than the collar. I guess I'm getting old and now find it easier to use the collar. I'm training this young dog with the e-collar to do several things at the same time - which you might disagree with. I'm putting handle on him to come when called, to leave a bad track along after he's spent more time in the same area to my liking, stopping him from running/hunting down the road and occasionally have bumped him from off game. I've been using the tone to get him to "come", the vibrate to "move him" off a track that he
s spend too much time on, use the stimulus to get him off a road and stimulus on off game.
Sometimes I ask myself if I may be working on too many things at once and if I may be confusing him - which is why I posed the question. So far I'm seeing success in everything I'm training him on, but I always like to hear the opinion of others.
Sounds like you are doing a good job and that you have a dog with enough brains to understand the different signals. Good luck. Dave
