My friend would not use e-collars with any dogs, but she has something to ask about them. My friend thought that her questions might fit in this thread. Note: she might also talk about things that don't relate to her dog. She had read and heard horrible things about them and using them causes these things:
suppression, modification, shutdown and fallout
My friend had seen videos of them. She had seen only one video where the dog suffered from the e-collar. However, in many other videos dogs seems to be happy and excited to learn although they have e-collars. Not even those dogs that had behaviorial issues seemed to suffer from them. My friend had read that the dogs that have behaviorial issues should not be trained with e-collars. So my friend would like to know why the dogs that had been trained with e-collars doesn't suffer from them although she had heard and read that they would.
My friend has read about dog language and calming signals. She had read that when the dogs are trained with e-collars, they would get stressed and they would use calming signals. When she watched the videos, she expected that those dogs would behave that way, but no...
She wondered why those dogs behaved differently to what she had read.
She saw the videos on youtube but it was long time ago. Although it has been long time since she saw them, she remembers how those dogs behaved.
My friend has also this question: she has seen this tutorial:
Under the tutorial the trainer writes that the dogs that have been trained with e-collars should not be teached to do the actual behavior. Can someone tell more about it?
