Title: Breaking cd off with e-collar Post by: leonriverboy on October 21, 2012, 08:12:29 pm I have a young pit that is a great cd. I have always had to use a break stick to break her off, but here latly I have been getting her to turn loose through verbal command. This just takes her a while to make the decision to turn loose. I have been thinking of speeding up the process with an e-collar. I just don't want her tuning loose too soon. What do y'all think?

I myself wouldn't think it's a very good idea. If the dog is smart all your gonna end up with is a pit bull bay dog at the very best Title: Re: Breaking cd off with e-collar Post by: pigrig on October 22, 2012, 03:13:01 am this is just my own view but an e collar shoud be used to get a dog to listen to your voice commands not to do what its not supposed to do as you are the leader of the pack a dog needs to be tuned into your commands

We work our dogs very differently here. Our dogs are mostly what you term RCD's. As long as you use a verbal command we say "get off" or "out of it" (words are less important than the tone) and then zap the dog it will be fine. Keep zapping it until it stays away from the pig. This will make the dog more controllable around pigs and overall a better dog. I teach dogs to leave the pig (and then listen to me, so back this up with a command like - sit or load up etc ) from the very first time they see a pig. Stuff like barking or mauling a dead pig is dealt with fairly harshly. It doesn't make then softer or "less game" it just turns there ears on.

So I'm sayin no didn't work lol but what did work was once the dog was off I told him caught hog and when he tried for it I light his ass up this worked well. Command then correct 2 or 3 hogs they get the point. ;D
