Do you train with e-collars?

Full Question:

I'd like to know if you personally would train one of your working dogs with and electric collar. I'm also curious how you feel about them in comparison to traditional correction with prong or slip collars. If e-collars are the most humane, what is all the fuss about? If anything, what don't you like about this type of training, even in the hand of an experienced e-collar training?

Ed's Answer:

I will never train a dog without an e-collar.

Like every other dog training aid, these collars can be abused and often are because people buy them and do not learn how to train with them – that does not make them wrong. They are no different than a prong collar or a choke chain in the hands of a skilled trainer.
