Exactly the kind of people who should not be using electronic training devices and exactly why the same are so maligned.
Never let a tool replace training your dog.
Very well said.
The truth of the matter is that any "training aid" - be it for dogs or for any other animal - is only ever as good or as bad as the human being on the other end. People tend to misuse them as an all-in-one substitute or a quick fix - sometimes out of ignorance (willful or not) and sometimes out of pure laziness.

I read the book, but did it with the clap of hands, and her treat was some of dog food that I would save! Age has been a plus for me, and she barks when home alone? I won't use a bark collar, cause she is inside and gets stressed out when I do leave. Tried chews etc., however, she now as she did
get mellow with time and age.
I know -- it's just gotten embarrassing because the guy knows at this point that he's coming to train ME, and that I should be smart enough to catch on.
Ok,..you have identified the problem.Now move forward because the dog deserves it.If you are lower than the dog in his eyes? What can i say now politely?
Niles our Yorkie, only needed to wear the bark collar a few times. Now when he barks, we just have to say, "where's that collar?" He stops barking instantly.
