Training Methods - electric collar

I have a considerable amount of usage with Tri-Tronics and Dogtra collars here in the USA. It is a misnomer to refer to these collars as shock collars. They are tens units which stimulate muscle tissue and do not cause any pain. They are only disconcerting to the animal. Used properly they enhance the wolfdog's joy of freedom. In a densley populated area they also are added safety for the dog and owner. These devices are like new power tools to the traditional carpenter who resists and fears change. Used properly they merit praise. They are not a painful lesson. This is only my opinion.
