Great article...I am planning on a cross-state trip with my dog (labradoodle) in a few summers or so. Plan on camping and hiking along the way. Definitely gonna start training her our trip!

First, its now inhumane. Second, if it keeps my dog from being killed I would do it in an instant. Third, “The shock administered by an approved shock collar is safe, so while it is certainly enough to get your dog’s attention and deter certain behaviors, it won’t do any lasting physical harm.” http://www.caninejournal…
