I'd really like to start using the ecollar with the dogs. Is it an appropriate training tool to introduce them to the cats in the house? What type(s) of e-collars would you recommend?

Full Question:
Hi Ed & Cindy!

Before my question I'd like to let you both know that we switched the dogs to a raw diet and they are THRIVING on it. Their tummies actually do worse on a non-raw diet now, who'd have thunk it? ;-)

Had a question or two on the e-collar: I'd really like to start using it with the dogs (two huskies). Is it an appropriate training tool to introduce them to the cats in the house? We've had to keep them separated for far too long but they have such HIGH prey drives that I would never in a million years have them alone together or even in the same room without them on a leash.

Also, what type(s) of e-collars would you recommend?

Thanks again for all of your wonderful information and great advice!

I’m glad your dogs are doing well on the raw diet! That’s great news.

We have an article on introducing dogs to cats, I would follow the guidelines in the article, even if you have owned the dogs and cats for a while now.

We like the Dogtra collar, I use the Dogtra 282 on my 2 Malinois.
