The e-collar may be the best and most misunderstood training tool in use today.  You’ve heard it many times, but if you’re using that collar out of malice, you really should get rid of it.  Everything we ask the dog to do is first taught to them through the use of something like the check cord

I have no doubt I’ll recall days like these as I’m fading from this life into that great Grouse hunt in the sky where all dogs are staunch and never die.
