Certainly if she barks in the car it's uncomfortable. I understand about working distractions from a distance - when she was younger she would go nuts with traffic going past, and I got her past that by walking her in fields progressively closer to a busy road. What I don't understand is how to get her to cope with intermittent distractions. For example motorbikes still get a reaction from her, but we seldom see them. Also I have an issue with her being aware of a long line and context switching based on that. She will ignore seabirds while connected on the long line but then chase them when she knows she is dragging the line. So I'm thinking the e-collar is the tool to help with that.

(Got only a twolegged one, who would be difficult to herd!) Just theoretically: could Pits learn to herd too? “If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, then you are a leader” – Rudyard Kipling
