gweedo 0 Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 hi everyone just a quick question i have a 16 month old golden lab he is certainly not the best behaved dog in the world but whos are ?? he is great when i am out on my own with him and the gun if a bit to keen. the problems start when another dog is brought into the equasion went out with a friend yesterday he has a two year old springer and my lab would not leave him alone gets very frustrating after about 2 hours!!!! My mate has one of those canicom eletric collars on his springer and it seemed to work brilliant doesnt even have to shock the dog any more just a push on the tone button and the dog knows its time to behave and work. Does anyone have success stories with the collars or any other tips to help bring my dog into line thanks GUY Quote Link to post
v-max 2 Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hello im sorry but my opinion of electric coller's is that they are a no no.I know dog's can be hard but it's all in the basic training & it is basic.I would like to see the dog work with the coller off? & a coller on a working dog can be dangerous when working as it can get snaged on object's or in amongest water side with tree root's etc can you see fit i mean.When you say you lab like's other dog's fit is he doing exactly?.

Garypco 2 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 in their place the collar can be a good thing!!! the reason most dont like em is,people get dependanton using em!! right time right place perfect!!! iv had one for two years but then again ive only used it twice,would i be with out it no!!! for stock breacking a trouble some dog invaluable,same as the problem you had the other day,one smack as hes going up to the dog would be perfect!!!,you probably wouldnt have to use it again!!!

pointer28 1 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Can be useful but tread carefully or you'll end up with a quivering mess of a dog. Personally I only ever use mine for breaking to stock and never for basic obedience training. Quote Link to post

gweedo 0 Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 cheers folks for your opinions and advice might leave the collar for a bit see how things pan out like i said before he is great until he see s another dog then everything and everyone including me goes out the window wont even respond to his name. When you go over to get him he legs it which is frustrating because when im out on my own with him he is a diomand totally different dog thanks once again Quote Link to post
barraboy 28 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 see how he matures mate, labs are notoriously immature and at 16 months he is still very young. Quote Link to post
