<DIV>Wow! i had no idea anyone would use an electronic collar for
punishment! i have a bad tendency to shoot from the hip when i write or
talk. i was astonished to think anyone would use these collars to be mean to
their wonderful dogs, i really didn't! i had to do something drastic,
Daisy ran out of the garage like a slippery eel in a flash, i couldn't grasp her
and she ran right into the path of cars..3 times. we get fast traffic on this
street, i was terrified for her and for me! my daughter brought her collar over,
put the short prongs on it for Daisy, opened the back gate, i told her to sit
and stay, which she did. then i backed away. Daisy ran out after me,
ignorning my commands. the dial goes from 1-8 and it was set on 2. i hit
the lowest button once and she bolted back into the yard and has never gone out
either of the gates again. i would never advocate a higher setting unless your
dog's fur is thick, which the Bassets dont have.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>the second and last time i used it was for the garage. she has not gone out
since. there are two buttons of current on the control, the top button is
"continuous" which charges as long as you keep your finger on it. i would not
ever use that. the lower button is a short two beep charge and she didn't yelp,
she just stopped, turned around and went back where she had been told to sit and
stay. that was it. the beeper i use , no current there, when she is
chewing on the base of my Idaho Ash tree. she has chewed the trunk base ,
peeled the bark half way up and the tree appears to be dying but i do use the
beeper from inside the house to warn her to stop. she doesnt chew it
anymore, it took one or two beeps and she learned. i would not ever
use this collar to punish her , it is a warning system only and she has
commands to go with anything i do with it. honestly, folks, i would never use
this to be mean to Daisy, i love this sturdy lively little dog with all my
heart. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>my apologies to anyone who thought i was brutalizing Daisy.. but i
have to admit, after seeing her learn the vital life and death escapes so
quickly my only regret now is i didn't have these collars, for the four
children( 3 of them boys) i raised. boy. i sure could have used them back
in the 60,70's! and the 80's. 90's.. it was a loooonnng haul raising those kids,
let me tell you! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>again . my apologies for not making my use of the collar clear. commands
must be used along with the beeper and if all else fails and it is life
threatening or husband threatening, well.. then two short jolts can be very
useful. also never ever set the dial to more than 2! happy Basset loving
and living..i can't believe how much this dog has changed my widowhood for the
better.
