if you use a cattle prod and he turns on you and you back down then he has won...but if you use a shocking collar set it on high...and keep pushing the button until he cowers down...but only when caught in the act...I would repeat any time he acts up...that's about how I would do it if he were my dog...seems like three taps in succession does the trick for my dogs, usually happens when a female is in heat...
i've used both before with good results BUT the one thing you need to pay very close attention to with a shock collar is when and how you go about shocking him, i have seen with my own eyes 2 dogs in the woods posture up to one another about to get into it and the the fella that owned them shocked one which resulted in that dog attacking the other, sometimes a shock collar will turn em inside out and make em forget what they were doing but I have also seen it push them over the edge and pile on another dog. Just pay close attention to their attitude/posture and you will be fine.
