Question
Our Border Collie is taking off after vehicles, is an e-collar the route to go?
Answer
When you say he'll take off I am guessing that means he's off-leash? If so, then keeping him on a leash or long line at all times is critical. The more he practices taking off after distractions the harder your job
of training him will be.
I'd definitely condition him to the e-collar but you may need in-person help for introducing distractions. Looking back over our correspondence it seems that he's struggled with this type of behavior for a while now.
The e-collar is a great tool but I'd definitely be thoughtful about how to introduce it and get professional help for working through his biggest triggers for reactivity.
