Ecollars, DO NOT train dogs, they help to reinforce, what the dog has already been taught. At no point can you create behaviour with an collar, it is a signal based communication. Its really that simple!!!! I cannot believe this nonsense is still going on, I've been training dogs for well over a decade, and this argument is still going on. This is what makes the dog training industry so toxic and unable to move forward in a harmonious way.
If you think and ecollar is there to train a dog, you obviously know nothing about the use of them, or how to train a dog. You can only create behaviour with Positive Reinforcement, but the dog will only learn what is required from that method. To indicate what is NOT required, there should be a NEGATIVE signal!!
Hope that's cleared things up for people!
