thats great that you can use your dogs every day, and yes you can get a" true handle" on dogs that you have raised and carry with you every day.but most people these day arent that lucky they un-snap the chain fri. night and snap it back sun. night and do it again next week.
i have used dogs to gathered cattle most of my life and yeh i carryed a bull whip most of the time, the bull whip works great !
i have goten away from the whip in the last few years especialy on my hog dogs becuase most of the time your in thick brush were you cant handle a whip anyway.
the shock collar in good hands!!, is a good method especially for people who cant carry their dogs around every day or are trying to train 2 or 3 dogs at one time.
with a shock collar you can correct one dog at a time.
as far as dogs being leiry of off game because of being shocked is generally a sign(in my mind) of being shocked to much to try and break them.
all of the dogs i have now have been broke from off game with a shock collar not one of them cows down when you raise your hand around them, nor do they stop on a hog track when they cross the track of or encounter off game,such as tru cattle or deer.
back to Noahs original post " Any and all methods of getting young dogs used to stock"
sounds to me like a dog that slips a collar and catches your riding horse on the back leg needs a shock collar.
thats my .02 and thats all its worth, stricly my experience, Craig
