Are e-collars safe and effective for off-leash dog training?

Question

I posted a question about shock collars. I have tried to off leash train him “the postive only route” it’s is not cruel look up Off leash canine and Solidk9. They can train huskies off leash and other dogs with this tool. Doesn’t hurt anymore than tens unit. Used on myself as Solidk9 training told me to do didn’t hurt a bit. E collars have changed in the years you might of saw them. He would of never been trusted off leash now can enjoy full off leash life safely. He is very happy to have that.

I'm so glad that you found a good training method for Timber. The problem with shock collars is that often people do not use them correctly. If you are shocking your dog inappropriately, they will get confused about what is going on and everyone will be frustrated with training. When used appropriately, shock collars can be a very effective training method. I'm so glad that it is working well for Timber, so you must be doing it right. Congrats!
