Many years ago I got a call from a garage which was working on my car saying that in order to do some work on my brakes they needed to use quite a bit of force which may cause damage and they needed my permission to carry on.
My best mate ran his own garage some distance away, so I called him. His advice was, "Don't give them permission, they've already broken it." And they had.
If for some bizarre reason you placed your dog in for residential training (Why would you?) and they call you to let you know they may need to use a prong or e collar on your dog you can bet your life that they already have and have fu**ed it up. If they are working with you and suggest it then they are already out of their depth and are about to fall back on the only methods they know and need your permission to risk breaking your dog.
