You disgust me.

I am glad you are still on this forum (for now) because it is widely read and this means that many, many people will know of your revolting habit. That is, animal abuse.

As some have mentioned, it didn't help much when the dog wandered near a snake hidden in long grass, so if the snake stays quiet and down wind it can go unoticed, but ultimately that's what snakes do and it's what makes them such efficient predators.

I'm still more convinced by their technique than yours.

I couldn't give a monkey's **** if you think my technique works on not, several years of living here, with two dogs that had previously never seen a snake before, and so far no mishaps in an area that gets a lot of snakes, venomous ones. My dogs have learnt to keep well clear if we/they see one, sorry, but you don't mess around out here some of the places we hike, you don't just let dogs off in undergrowth and roam, they have to stay on the trail for their own safety and other animals. It isn't Disneyland, my dogs know to avoid snakes, God forbid we stumble on one accidently, then that is a different issue, you can't do anything about that, a shock collar won't help you there, you just have to hope the snake won't strike, and you can back away.

I don't have to justify my training to you, but I do feel proud that my dogs have learnt without ever inflicting any pain on them.

Adam.
Adam would you quote the number of the post with your response please. I can't find an answer to both my questions.
No , I never mentioned having a line to Professor Mills ,please check through my posts .I merely mentioned in passing my intention to contact him and others involved in the e collar study.

3) Do you include, as part of the contract, that the device must only be used in conjunction with an expert? NO!

4) Do you sell these devices to owners of puppies and small dogs? YES!


Sorry, there's only one of me and these posts are coming in at an alarming rate.

1) When you go into Pets at Home and buy a flat collar, halti, rubber toy etc, do they offer to come round and make sure you know how to use it? Do Ancol have a team of trainers at hand to rush out at a moments notice every time an EPoS scans one of their products? Do Halti hand deliver their headcollars with a persnal trainer for you? Didn't think so. In fact, do you have any guarantee that all along the supply chain everyone is an expert on that exact piece of equipment or could answer a basic question on it?

2) No, I deal with adults. Adults who are capable of making their own decisions based on their own circumstance. Was the customer extended this service on their previous choice of equipment? Obviously not, we hear some tragic tales of unsuitable equipment.

3) The contract is for the supply of goods, much past that we can't dictate any terms. How do we differ from any seller of any other goods and services in that respect? Even licensed equipment doesn't always carry those terms.

4) Not by recommendation no, but ultimately there are other outlets and if someone wants a prong collar but we refuse to sell one they can easily just go and buy one elsewhere.

Ah, small dogs. Definitely. Small dogs aren't any less prone to pulling on the lead, the main difference is they're not hard to hold back like, say, a neapolitan mastiff. Owners don't always associate the potential damage to the dog unless it physically affects them first, like an aching shoulder or elbow that a big dog could cause. A small dog putting all its small weight and small pull into a small collar will crush its small windpipe just the same as a big dog. So a prong collar is equally suitable, partly as protection to the dog.


C'mon, lets have it, wicked irresponsible seller of death devices, obviously don't love dogs, not a care in the world about the harm being caused, should be flogged....etc etc?

Still waiting for you to post the %'s for me (which make you choose shock collar training over positive methods). (with regards to Snakes.)
