All of your thoughts are appreciated and are given much consideration. The most cogent being the 'risk vs. reward', or penalty vs. reward. Further, it is agreed that in the hands of a scrupulous professional the animal will live a freer and safer life through proper use of the collar. Living near area of dense population with much traffic can be frightening, thus the need for rigid training. It would be unfair to keep the dog on leash forever, as it would be against her nature not to be free and enjoy. The benefit is for the animal and owner to fully enhance an even better relationship. The collar used correctly is not a cruel device.
