I would prefer the no Ecollar method but don't have 24/7 to train a dog to the level I want .If you train without one will your dog be better than one trian with a collar ---64000$ question and unless you can put up in a hunting or trial format to show that winning training it all just semantics

The best trained dogs Ive seen were sheep trial dogs in Wanaka last year, they were amazing, and trained with alkathene, I dont approve as Im a bit of a soft cock on animals, but what you say is correct to each his own.
