Buried my 14 year old setter yesterday. Last of a line of great dogs I've had. Never shocked em once.

I've got a cabelas GS-4000 gun dog series collar..cost is $159.00...works great for me and my English cocker retriever...got a buddy that also has one he uses on his lab and he's pleased as well...
keep in mind that you don't have to electrocute your dog...I use mine on the #4 setting and that's about like giving him a slap on the rear....but.....it works just like a spanking works for a child.....it lets the dog know when you say no...if he doesn't stop what he is doing,a spanking is instantly gonna happen....my present dog is a year old and this is her first season so she is learning and typical of a young dog,she forgets every now and then but she is getting to the point where all I have to do is hit the pre-shock sound and she obeys.....my previous dog,I never had to use the collar after the first season but she was hard headed the first year and I had to pop her several times over a 3 month period....
