You received responses asking for specific information.
Since you choose not to answer them, I'm not really sure why you are here beyond asking about collars.

Glad you found the site here.
How about some more information - what kind of training have you done with him?
when you say Petco, what exactly do you mean?
what kind of routine and exercise does he have?
are you feeding him in a crate?
how did you introduce him to the ecollar?

Did you read the pack structure article and the kids and dogs Q&A? ....
.... I would like to read all the answers Mara asked for.

.... you are looking at a separation-and-training/pack-work situation.
Level 10 corrections and tools are not always the answer.

Also, is the dog on a drag line at all times in the house? Is the dog tethered to you?

I'll throw something out here since my other questions have not been answered.
What I would do with this dog is start from scratch again. Put him through the adult dog groundwork outlined here. Then start in with marker training and a good exercise routine.
Once he is solid on basic OB to you in a variety of situations, you can start adding your daughter back into the picture. But not for playtime. She can learn the new routine and rules and she can join in with you in the marker training. Start having her go through the commands that he knows and reward him for it. All supervised of course.
And it goes without saying that he is fed in a crate and she leaves him alone when he is in the crate.

I've already decided to do what Frawly's recomends ... I simply want to know the best collar to work with a dog that has shown problems like this so I can provide the guidance he needs. END QUOTE
I will take another shot at this. You are cherry-picking Ed's words for an instant solution to a problem, a serious one, that you have created (or allowed to develop). You are not responding to direct questions, and you are not listening to anyone's responses telling you that you do NOT have a "collar" situation here.

Because you are insisting that your course is Ed Frawley's advice with a child-dog situation like this, and refusing even to answer basic questions people are asking in attempts to help, I'm going to close this. Ed can re-open it if he sees fit.
This is too serious for this kind of advice-shopping.

This is an owner problem, not a dog problem. This dog is acting the way its acting because of the way you have decided to live with this dog.
Put the dog on a leash and keep it on a leash (in the house) When you can't keep eyes on the dog - put it in a crate.
This issue is not about correcting the dog OUT OF WHAT IT IS DOING - its about molding it into what is acceptable behavior in your home. It's not about a level 10 correction on a dog that may only need a level 3 correction. You need to take your skills as a dog trainer to a new level with this dog.
Staying on the road your on is only going to SCREW your dog.
I am going to close this thread. There isnt any further reason for debate.

Just a quick post for everyone who was worried about this escalating situation. The O.P. sent a PM saying that he saw a behaviorist who tells him that dog has anxiety and that the previous advice (that it was dominance/aggression) "was bad advice." She is working with them, has pointed out the child's behavior that was freaking out the dog, and has said that after eight weeks, if it's still not working, she would gladly take the dog, continue training him herself, and rehome him someplace without children where he can have a long happy life.
The O.P. wanted us to have the peace of mind from this information.
