Yes I have spoken to the police dog trainers who train these dogs and yes they can call their dogs off, if they couldn't the dogs are no good as police dogs. Things are different in the UK, if any police dog acted the way those dogs do in those clips they would be pts, not even given the chance of ...

::mumblemumble:: allyouweredoingwasarguingandnotcontributinganythingusefulanyway ::mumblemumble:: :lol: oh but Noobs we have someone here who knows many k9 trainers and the issues they face and how they neeeed e collars. Why do you need to make fun of me? Have I been rude to you guys? I was trying ...

Seems like a lot of your posts, though, going back to the ones in 2008 even, advocate the use of aversive tools such as shock collars and prong collars. I know you weren't responding to my post, but I still wanted to mention that everyone is advised to stick to the forum rules regardless of whether...

How do the police in the UK teach their dogs, the are not allowed to use shock collars, their dogs are very well trainied. I have a Malinois cross, she is a really easy dog to train, far easier than a JRT cross I had. There are no need for corrections, if you need to use gadgets like a shock or pro...

There are another alternative positive methods to work with deaf dogs, but it takes a lot of patience and time. I don't have a problem with people who chose to use e collar with their dogs after they have a clear understanding communication. The dog understands that the owner is correcting the dog....

LmJanes, How do you know a shock collar wasn't used to train these dogs and then once it was off in these set-up situations, the dogs didn't respond? Maybe these dogs weren't trained enough before these "tests". Those videos don't back up your argument. I don't know if it was used or not ...

I found a police video that is good example where it gets so dangerous where the dog will not out for the handler. Look at happen he redirect his bite on his handler after biting the criminal. No how do you get this dog off without it redirect you? Well.... Sometimes e collar helps a dog like this t...

Mattie, I don't know how much do you have an experience with high drive malinois, and dutch shepherd. If you said you believe it is not needed, how can you get these dogs off the suit when called out? Eh? Oh yeah, you start with a tug and teach the out command, the dog understands of course. We have...

Yeah, he's adorable. Until he's lunging for your crotch whilst out on a walk. :shock: We're stopping every time he bites at the lead, and getting on top of him, a leg either side, and holding the back of his collar until he stops biting the lead and then carrying on. But it doesn't always work, som...

I don't advocate with halti head and have tried it a few years ago. I didn't like how it wears down on one of my elders' muzzle and didn't even grow back so I switched him back to flat collar and taught him not to pull by standing still.

What is your good reasons for using it? Why do you need it? Have you tried it with a positive reinforcement and a clicker? When the dog does something right, you reward the dog with a food, praise, or toy. If that cure the problem, you have no need to use one. I don't like to see these being use on ...

dogs and wolves tend to behave similar. This website helps you to notice more about how dogs and wolves communicate with each other.

Mattie, I do agree with you about e collar. I'm not a big fan of it either, but it can be useful on some dogs. People who don't know how to use their tools properly can end up hurting or killing the dog. If you really honor your vets' opinion, why do they sell choke collars? I don't like choke colla...

Do you think all veterinrians are the same? Don't they all give out the same opinion? If you go for a second opinion or third opinion, you will find not all veterinrians' opinion are the same.

I respectfully disagree with you on prong collar.
