I'm really thinking about grabbing one of these collars. My next dog will have a considerable amount more drive then my current GSD. Or at least I hope he does. I do have some collars that I used on my bird dogs when I had them.
Really just looking for some opinions on these collars. ..good for obedience situations?, protection training?. I've never used one for this type of training. Just curious.
just my two cents, you got at least four months before you even ought to consider putting one the pup, I would get the marker training and prong collar training down first then move to an Ecollar

First, I'm not on commission, so I'm not just saying this to get you to buy something. But this video http://leerburg.com/318.htm might be the best purchase at this point, rather than a collar: maybe the best intro you can get for what the e-collar is all about.

I agree with Dennis. The ecollar comes later. Marker training, marker training. Do you have any of the Ellis videos yet?

That's the one I used, worked AWESOME, but I have to caveat that by saying my dogs already understood the commands, I used the E collar to sharpen it up and make the recall more reliable

I meant which marker training ones. LOL
I think there's a specific order, despite how good they all are. I think that for someone new to marker work, the first one really should be this one: http://leerburg.com/219.htm
