To my knowledge there was no mention of an e-collar in the original text.

Who mentioned ecollars? Not moi.

I was actually having a bit of a joke with Johan as he uses electric collars sometimes and has often poked fun at clicker trainers .

Thought he'd be interested to know about Geert - being open minded works both ways after all...

But do you think that's what "so called modern methods" are all about? Ignoring the dog and alll that? Really?

If so you are very mistaken, or else you've seen some bad training done by some.

I didnt use a clicker with my severely human fear aggressive rescue dog [ he`s deaf so he cant hear one ! ].
I did use positive only however, and funnily enough he has never bitten me in the near enough 9 years I have had him.
He did used to bite many people , [ before he was rescued ], because of being `corrected` with negative methods...

When he arrived with me he was the angriest, most volatile and most violent dog I had ever seen.

Wonder how come he responded so brilliantly to gentle work rather than any kind of force...

Who said a correction had to be done with force?

Patch, sound as if you used absolutely the correct method for this particular dog.
