Thread: Possum accidental hunt

The past 2 instructors I've had I the last 18 months have used shock collars. The level of shock depends on the instructor. A few on here have had bad experiences especially if they hunt their dogs with collars. The collar is the associated with pain and the dog refuses to hunt out of fear of being shocked.

My dog at 6months had to get a zap to associate the scent of kiwi to pain. For a pup he was trying to paw at the collar and hard to watch, but the message got through and avoided the kiwi. 10 months later he had a reset, new instructor and I think he had the collar set higher my dog yelping and ran off I a 20m arch away tail tucked between his legs. I wanted to put the collar on the instructor and push the button.

He's due for another retest before the roar, we'll see how he goes. Hopefully he's learnt and no need to shock him, or the instructor... haha
