Dig out info? You should KNOW without having to look what qualifications you possess.
As far as I can see no one here is "freaking out" We are however not prepared to sit here and allow you to spout utter rubbish and inflict pain and fear on animals just to inflate your ego.
Oh and you have still not answered Moonstones question correctly. I beleive they asked what your qualifcations are re dog behavior and training

You won't know, of course, because you have no rapport with dogs and can't fathom that kind of relationship. Yet so many people do. Without studying so-called animal behaviour (horses, in your case, I believe). Why can't you?
Many people are able to train their dogs without any knowledge of so-called 'training methods'. They do it instinctively, working with their dog. They do it kindly and have fun too. And they build up trust between them and a wonderful bond.
As for using an e-collar from the start, I am assuming you are referring to a puppy, since this is when basic training usually commences. Teaching the command "sit", going to the toilet in the desired area, learning to walk around the garden on a lead, etc. What a revolting thought that conjures up, using an electric collar on a puppy that is only, what, 8 weeks old perhaps?
I don't know anyone who has had problems in training their puppy to "sit", for instance, and who would have needed to stick on an e-collar in order to achieve it and certainly not attach one to their pup's genitals.
Please don't tell me you stick electric collars on puppies that are just a few weeks old.
Do you use collars to teach puppies or dogs to go to the toilet in the area where you want them to go?

The world of dogs and training is a diverse world. There are differing opinions on every topic immaginable. But at the end of the day, I think if we truly love and respect dogs, we should WANT to do whatever we can to make their lives HAPPY, Healthy, and secure. If you can gain that without doing what you've always done, and by trying something different...why wouldnt you? I've learned much over the past two years of having Luke. I'm always open to new ideas, to changing up things that may work better, may make Luke happier. Shouldnt you want the same?
