Some general questions about the pager mode:
1. What different people use it for, cues corrections, etc?
2. Good method to teach it as a cue for come or down when the dog already knows the verbal command?
3. Opinions good or bad. Is it worth the extra expense in usefulness? Thanks
When my old dog went partially deaf I used it for a 'look at me' cue so that I could give her further instructions via hand signals. She did eventually go totally deaf and that allowed her to still have off leash privledges until the end. Of course she did eventually have 'selective' eyesight sometimes as well, but you can back that up with a low stim <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
I find the vibration mode very useful. In police and SAR work I have trained it as a recall. In police work it’s completely silent so you don’t have to give away your position by making noise. In SAR it lets you call the dog when he’s out of earshot or if you’re in a high noise environment, near a river or waterfall.
You can use it as a “good dog” tone by simply pairing it with praise for a while, until the dog makes the association.
You can use it for directionals just field trialers use their whistles.
People with deaf dogs use it as an attention getter to mean, “look at me.”

i use pager for a correction on my corgi. he is too thin skinned for electric stimulation, and the pager works along the lines of a throw chain--it stops the activity and gets his attention. i don't think it's a real nagative, though.
A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down.
