I haven't had the opportunity to train my dogs to the toning but have worked on it a few times...but will stick to my plan until proven one way or another...

all my dogs know to come when called...in the yard they will come...in the woods they come when they are ready to go home...so me knowing that they know...I will only tone them after I call them off the track...if they don't come I will give a medium shock and increase until they give up the track and head back to me and load up...and they will know I am very happy and will give them lots of praise...

there won't be any sessions because this could ruin a dog if not done properly so will stick with real life situations...if the dogs know to come when called but choose not to because they can get away with it...they will learn real quick that I can reach out and touch them...I have to be very careful in making sure they hear me before I initiate contact...

my logic tells me that most of the time the dogs will be running and baying hogs and we will be in the chase with them... and they know that...and they know we approve...

and when it is time to go home they should learn rather quickly with the T115...once they learn that there shouldn't be any reason why we can't tone them away from crossing roads etc...

not speaking from complete experience but on how I plan to use the system...
