a few things I have learned about dogs and e collars...
if you have 2 dogs in the same kennel, and, let's say they are close to equal in pecking order...then it can be a long process on who dominates...also once one dominates he can become a bully as one of mine did...so I was keeping a close eye on them...I would hammer the dominant dog every time he started trouble...after a while the other dog learned he could antagonize the dominant dog and he would retaliate and I would correct him which is exactly what the lesser dog wanted...so the dominant dog was always looking for the opportunity to get on his brother...so on and on it went...
So I had to take my learning's to a higher level...I found that the best way to correct them is to hammer down on both of the dogs...this way neither will want to pick, poke, or start any trouble and problems solved...
another trick the dominant dog was to give the lesser dog the evil eye and he would move off his food bowl and the dominant dog would finish his bowl and part of the other dogs bowl of food...I finally observed what was happening after one dog was gaining weight and the other was slowly getting a little on the slender side...
the e collars went back on both of the dogs but as soon as I saw the under handed trick go down I hammered down on both with a ratio of 3 to 1 meaning the lesser dog got one love tap...a couple times of this treatment and it has been smooth sailing ever since...
dogs are a lot smarter than what credit we give them...
,
an e collar can set a dog back or even ruin him if not used correctly...common sense goes a long ways...
and in some cases you have to make a statement...that's all I have to say about that...
