Then one day while she went out, the dog chewed off the collar, destroyed the collar and searched out the remote and chewed it up. How would a dog know it was "being corrected" when it doesn't know what it did wrong? That is why these methods don't work. Nobody is telling the dog what to do. It's a dog, so when it does something a dog does (say barking at something) it gets told off, how is it supposed to know not to act like a dog? Makes no sense to me, won't make sense to a dog.LmJanes wrote: 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... Not something else.
I assume your friend is a regular dog owner right? Do you read my previous post that I pointed out that I don't advocate pet owners using these?
