Helping a dog
I have a dog that someone apparently used way too much electric on. I like to train all my dogs to come to tone. Usually start this in the yard using only light electric as reinforcement if needed. This dog will just freeze at any electric stimulation. I have been working him in the yard and he will come to tone but comes like he's afraid. Any ideas to help with this would be appreciated. Right now my plan is to just do lots in the yard and try to help him get over his fear of even the tone.

Good Luck! I bought a 5 year old male that someone had abused the buttons with. He will be11 July 5th. I can only use the tone once. If I push twice I have to go get him. He just lays and shakes. I have never used any other buttons just tone. Only use it when I am ready to go. Took a long time to figure him out. He is my buddy and a treeing machine. Took 5 days to get him to let me pet him without cowering down.

got one that an idiot used so much electricity on that was a heck of a hound until you put a collar on her. She would just shake and was froze. Take it off and she was a #1 hound.

These COLLARS can be a great training tool, but can ruin a dog if not used correctly. They are NOT to be abused they can not make a dog walk on water. However, used correctly they can not be beat as a training tool. I learned a long time ago to never use one in anger or to satisfy my ego. Dave
