I know, I'm weird.
Umm, that's right JB!

Met a camper recently and he had two dogs. Fido (can't remember his real name was a kinda typical young enthusiastic pup, yet the size of an adult shepherd. Upon seeing me for the first time he started running towards me.

For the first and only time before and since in this situation he stopped on his tracks. That's because his owner has a key fob on his belt that controls Fido's collar. Mild zap and thats it.

I love dogs but hate off leash dogs that run at me- and even more the lame owner telling me he/she is friendly instead of apologizing.

Here's what I used on our Casita, back when we had a dog that we took with us on trips. Basically, just hardware cloth, but worked well. Just drilled a few holes in the screen-door frame, and screwed it on.

I had done this but backed away from it. I have had my dog trained to not go into the carpeted living room without permission though.

I have never had the need to use a collar, but do believe they are fine for dogs that need that extra push to rid them of bad habits. The shock feature on them is really a misnomer as there is really no shock, just a mild sensation, I know as I have tried them on myself. Most often just using the sound feature works fine. Heck, even putting the collar on makes them think twice.

I had/have e-collars for 20+ yrs. The good ones. 1/4+ mile vibrate/& adjustable shock. I use the shock sparely, & it IS timing. 1st time was coming home with a known cat killer rescue, to my dog loving barn cat. Dog got hit hard mid FIRST lunge & I screamed "NO". Never bothered the cat again. Mostly it's the vibration mode, but, with my working line herding aussies, it's chasing cars, bikes, people(for no reason), digging holes, circling tight & biting the tires of my trucks, tractor, mower, etc. It depends on the "drive" coming out. Sometimes I do have to shock to get through. I don't want to run my dog over! They can run circles............ just about 8' out(which is about where they should be, IF I go into herding with them), so I can see them. I don't use them for, daily or obedience training, like some people do. A must have, for people with hunting dogs, that have to search, hounds, bird dogs, etc.
