I have a young pit that is a great cd. I have always had to use a break stick to break her off, but here latly I have been getting her to turn loose through verbal command. This just takes her a while to make the decision to turn loose. I have been thinking of speeding up the process with an e-collar. I just don't want her tuning loose too soon. What do y'all think?

I say no. Try to use a verbal and an action. IE- say release and tap on head. I,myself, try to limit the use of the e collar. Easy way to burn a dog for the wrong thing.

Do it if you want but keep us posted on how it goes.
I myself wouldn't think it's a very good idea. If the dog is smart all your gonna end up with is a pit bull bay dog at the very best

this is just my own view but an e collar shoud be used to get a dog to listen to your voice commands not to do what its not supposed to do as you are the leader of the pack a dog needs to be tuned into your commands

Pigrig for president............ We work our dogs very differently here. Our dogs are mostly what you term RCD's. As long as you use a verbal command we say "get off" or "out of it" (words are less important than the tone) and then zap the dog it will be fine. Keep zapping it until it stays away from the pig. This will make the dog more controllable around pigs and overall a better dog. I teach dogs to leave the pig (and then listen to me, so back this up with a command like - sit or load up etc ) from the very first time they see a pig. Stuff like barking or mauling a dead pig is dealt with fairly harshly. It doesn't make then softer or "less game" it just turns there ears on. T |

I did it once and rhetorically dog just bated his eyes and stayed caught... So I'm sayin no didn't work lol but what did work was once the dog was off I told him caught hog and when he tried for it I light his ass up this worked well. Command then correct 2 or 3 hogs they get the point.  |
