Cindy Cindy's Answer:
We start getting our puppies used to wearing the remote collar at 4 months. We NEVER us anything but low low levels of stimulation on our puppies.

Remote collars are effective tools to help stop puppies from eating stones and other items that puppies feel the need to pick up and eat.
In my opinion, remote collars should only be used in obedience training as a finishing tool. In other words, the puppy or dog should learn the commands with motivational methods (see my dvd titled THE POWER OF TRAINING DOGS WITH MARKERS).
