BGnR, yes, I'm perfectly aware of how sensitive a dog's hearing is but I thought that was better than a shock. My parents used to use a shock collar on one of their dogs and it was awful (which is also why I singled out your comment, because it isn't something I would do). I needed an immediate solution to my problem while I worked on a long term solution. And no, I'm not too fricking lazy to spend time with my dog. I spend as much time as I can with him, but I work and have other things to do. Training with positive reinforcement is going to take time. I'll devote the time, but it's going to be stretched out. If I can turn this collar off in a week that'll be great, only time will tell.
