Do you use e-collars on dogs who've been abused and are fearful? I have an ex-racing Greyhound who at some point was hurt by men and definitely with a stick. He (with positive training) has learnt that not all men are going to hurt him and he's much better. He's still apprehensive at approaching men with sticks though...would you use the collar to make him less scared or do you have other ways of desensitising? I just don't see how an e-collar could help him be less scared of something.
Please enlighten me, always willing to learn.

I wouldn't dream of using an e-collar on her, thankfully, I seem to be getting to the bottom of the problem, but yes, dogs do exist that are not happy or balanced in the presence of food rewards, more headless chicken.

I guess this is why I asked Adam himself to explain but I guess I'll have to wait. I've sifted through as many as I could bear, but there's a lot of stuff to wade through.
Thanks for your reply
and that includes me (slap on the wrists) we want this moron out of here
