If you do get hold of one, try it on the highest setting and see what you think. It's no buzz, as they say!

I have already said before, I would not use an e-collar on the highest setting, or let it be used on my dog by my hypothetical "expert".

It's just that in certain situations - I believe - his natural urges take over and he is his own dog and I am momentarily forgotten. It all seems to depend on the sitiation, where we are, what we are doing.

I manage to walk mine on my own everyday, look after my grand daughter, keep house, do the shopping, do all the decorating and maintenance on the house. Stuff I'm pretty sure he manages to pay people to do these days. No one wonders how I fit in all in, mostly they think I sit on my butt all day

Surely with his supposed vast amount of experience he could have done it a different way.
