I have never used a shock collar, but am to the point of getting one just to get my point across, because he is NOT listening to me. We just had a two hour episode. What are your suggestions? |
Try the suggestions made by others in this discussion. If they don't give you the results you want in a timely manner (for me that would be three – four weeks, but you are the final judge) then take a look at this article on teaching the recall with the Ecollar.

I'd strongly suggest that you NOT get an Ecollar and then just hit the button when the dog does not recall. Doing it like that can cause all sorts of issues since the dog won't know what the discomfort means.
