Toning Dogs

I start mine out with a bark collar at home when they're about 6 months old, mine have a tone before the stimulation feature, they learn when they hear the tone to hush up, and it nonchalantly tone breaks them without associating you with any type of fear, once I start putting a handle on them I'll start tone breaking them to commands and use the exact same method Old Man mentioned, I had one that figured out the first time what the rope was and just would freak out when he heard the tone and wouldn't walk with the rope, Cajun suggested on here to take him to a ball park and that's what I did, he couldn't escape when I toned him and I didn't have to worry with a long rope, it's taking me years to convince my hunting buddy that a shock collar isn't the antichrist, your not deep frying the dogs when you use it, and you should only have to shock your dogs as a means of last resort and as Old Man mentioned it's our way of giving them the countdown before the whooping, in my opinion it's the second greatest feature besides the garmin itself, it's our way of communicating with our dogs outside of ear shot, for those that have came up hunting their entire careers with garmin and tri Tronics will never know the agony lol, my old little girl gyp would stop and sit for a second when I'd start calling her, if she heard a tone she'd come on in, if she didn't you had to catch the hog to catch her or ambush her she became collar wise, I still use a 320 and just about every hunt I get mad and say ole so and so will never get turned loose again without a shock collar and somehow it always happens again lol...
