Medium a permanent of one's home investors while months allow which is fantastic but he also advocates using citronella prior to a spray collar then whilst using the collar. I wondered if anyone here had done the same or used anything similar I had first hand knowledge of what could go right wrong Personally if i ever had to use one again on either dog or another persons do it would be vibration or water spray. I didn't like using the citronella one but it was the only option available to us,but either way it didn't work. Of course it all depends on the dog,i 't think i would use one for recall.I want the recall word to be associated with good things,not a squirt of citronella spay up the dogs nose. Although likes water I was thinking that it is all context, if it sudddenly squirted her then this would be interrupter during a A momentary lapse mode be what I needed to recall her. As you did, I would only consider using one with a trainer though. I am only considering this at the nomtnet would only use one as well as continuing with other methods or recall training. I have read alot about suing these collars but rather than just read about pros cons it would be more of a benefit to me to hear of peoples experiences Although likes water I was thinking that it is all context, if it sudddenly squirted her then this would be interrupter during a A momentary lapse mode be what I needed to recall her.

How it would delay them for i wouldn't know,probably enough to get their attention with a toy and then to recall them. I suppose if you have tried other things and they haven't worked,it might be worth a try.

I do think think that the success of a collar like this would depend on many things; the dog, the the situation as well as timing should I get a moment of interuption of the Maybe there are too many variables for it to be successful but this could also be said of timing for stopping a from starting far she has had little opportunity to hasn't become habituated to this but I do known that she would given half a do i rely eafgle eye for spotting deer or try a collar donl;t know what i want to do yet. I do known that I can recall her mid of her balls, redirect her chases recall her from birds but I am almost 100% certain that if it was a running hare rabbit deer then I would be unsuccessful I used one with Ziggy, who would run off to invade football A few sprays stopped her her tracks, and it is now much less of a problem. She'll now recall from her urge to run into football most of the time, before she gets close but I'll never trust her completely off-lead around them. Downsides? None, apart from that she's unchanged. Temperamentally she's sensitive, but not a fearful dog. She likes to please, and isn't very headstrong. I wouldn't use one on a timid dog, or on any dog that was close to other
