Full Question:
What is the recommended age to with a puppy to start using the electronic training collar. I have a 4 month old female german shepherd. I was hoping to start using the collar around 6 months old, if that is a safe age. My main purpose is to train the recall.Thank you.

Cindy's Answer:
I start my dogs on the ecollar between 4-5 months.
We have an extensive q & a section on the website, I would suggest you spend some time reading there
http://leerburg.com/qaelectric.htm You’ll learn quite a bit, even though not all the questions are geared towards 6 month old puppies.
I’d also recommend Electric collar Training for the Pet Owner.
Let me know if you need help selecting the right ecollar (if you haven’t already purchased one).
