Hey Peter,
Please please please, read that section again. My tongue was firmly in my cheek when I wrote the chapter on "How to Give Your Dog Heartworm." In other words, it was not what I'd even remotely recommend.
And, I'd submit that to be able to use a shock collar, the owner should also wear one and give himself an equal "stim" at the same time his dog gets one. I'd love to hear how long its use lasts from that point forward.
Sorry, but there are better training methods. And if a dog can't focus enough to be trained, she needs a homeopath to cure her of "brain on fire" vaccinosis. All too common, but a clear sign of "not well yet."
Thanks for your comments.
