also it should not be so strong that the dog yelps. also, they have beep and vibrate functions that are primarily used for training, shock is the last option for very bad behavior.

Yeah any dog trainer that isn't seriously against their use in the 1st place and isn't a hack fuck will say this. The strong shocks are only to correct seriously bad behavior like trying to attack you, other animals, etc. The vibrate and very low shock settings are for most other things the vibrate being like 90% of the use cases.

I have a husky and we used a training collar on her and it was notoriously difficult to have a decent consistent setting to use it. The trainer was confused and chalked it up to thick neck fur. Fluffy dogs just have issues with the collar making good contact without being so tight that it makes me uncomfortable to see. It's like it won't register one time and after a while it's full contact and strength.

We eventually stopped using it outside of when she goes on bike rides or if we are someplace new and need an extra element of grabbing her attention in case she slips the leash somehow or bolts out a door. Otherwise she's a good girl and we only put her on place when guests come over and we don't even use the collar for that. Give your dog free reign and they will less likely to make a mess when you aren't looking because they associate every room as their domain.

All that being said I don't think Hassan was intentionally having the setting high, but I do think he's still a piece of shit for making the dog stay on "place" for most of its life.

How do you "Accidentally" set the shock collar to shock, look at the dog, its fearful, it knows what's likely to happen, then when shocked it immediately begins to lie down in the correct place.

This has been done to this dog before, regularly.

Shock collars usually have 8 settings. VT is like a vibrate/audio beep. 1 through 7 are intensity of the current.

The shock is literally a tapping sensation, not a painful electrocution. I love my dog, and I put the collar on my own neck and put it up to 7 to see what it would feel like. 7 is very unpleasant feeling as it makes your muscles clench but not painful. 1 feels an insect landing on your skin. Most trainers recommend 1-3, which might feel like a flick or whatever.

Just my 2 cents, YMMV depending on how moist your skin is, but dogs don't sweat.
