Well, not really, but it sure seems that way when it’s put to use regulating an overly anxious and fearful pup’s actions.
We’re using low level stimulation to teach Charlie to “Come”when called, Sit, Kennel, and Heel - a 4 out 100 on the miniEducator remote collar. Through this approach, Charlie learns that complying with whatever command is given, turns off the vaguely tingling sensation on his neck.
The ecollar has a significant psychological impact on fearful dogs due to the perception of being able to control their environment (the stimulation) through their behavior. It not only builds Charlie’s confidence, but also creates comfort around me.
