Shock collar

wicklow newbie

Any one looking to sell one for fair money lads?

I'd suggest that you look at some other ways of training your dog first. Shock collars are pretty nasty devices!

Also, there is a lot of evidence that they can produce really vicious behaviour when the dog gets frustrated or does not understand where the shock is coming from or why.

There have been incidents where dogs have lashed out at whatever human happened to be near by when they received a shock i.e. blamed them for it and have bitten people's faces, necks etc.

E.g. where "radio fences" are used in association with a shock collar. i.e. the dog approaches a boundary, gets a shock and then attacks a random kid who happens to be standing near by.

Honestly, if you're resorting to using a shock collar, you might be better off letting someone else adopt your dog or consider having a professional dog trainer help you train him/her with more appropriate methods.

These devices are actually illegal in some jurisdictions e.g. Wales.

Lads and ladies,

There is to be no (more) thread spoiling.

If you do not have the item the OP is looking for, or information to that nature DO NOT post here.
