Never have, never will. In my opinion they are inhumane.

It was our training tool with Banks.... she is overly dominate and when in that 'red zone' there was no breaking or controling her. Once she knew what the collar was, all we had to do was place it on her and not use the 'pulse', she just stayed in line. Now, 6 yrs laster, it is not really necessary since we remained consistent and firm with her training

When we were at our wits end with The Bru man, we bought one. Everyone in the family had to put it on and have a shock before I allowed it to be placed on my baby boy. So anyway, we put it on him and after the first shock, the look on his face was so heartbreaking, I returned it to the store immediately and never used on again. We tried more conventional ways of training and I think it has worked out ok.

I believe they are banned here in the UK I'm not 100%. But on uk forums people go on a witch hunt when u mention shock collar. But no I haven't used one

It really is a wonderful training AID if used correctly. I say aid because that is all it is. You train and use the collar to remind.
I tried it on myself, using all the settings before selecting one for my dog (not any of the bulldogs, but a yapping little yorkie I had a while back that was about to get me kicked out) Anyway, the setting i chose did not hurt, only vibrated. It worked like a charm. I had another dog one that was no candidate at all for that type of collar. If it hurts the dog it is useless. He would get used to the high level and go on acting aggressive. Its not for all dogs, but a godsend for the few that it benefits.

Surly there's 1000's of better ways to teach your pets right from wrong.
