Its easier if you start as a puppy, but can be done with any dog. Build a bond with him. Teach sit, stay, and come. Start with treats or pieces of kibble as rewards. Put him on a 20' check chord with a choke chain. Give the "come" command with a small jerk on the chord. Reel him in to you with the chord and give a jerk as needed if he gets off track. Praise/Reward him when he gets it right. He needs to eventually understand that there is no option but to do as told. The shock collar will replace the chord after he is consistent on the chord. Give the "come" command and "nick" him with the shock collar. The "nick" replaces the jerk on the chord. If he's on his way to you, dont shock him when he's doing the right thing. Only when he goes the wrong way. Dog needs to know you are the Boss, not just the guy giving him a ride to the woods. I make my dogs sit every day before I feed them. They stay sitting, I put down the bowl, their eyes are on ME, and I say "ok", then they eat.
