Shock collars. Cruel. Lazy training. Painful. Outdated. If you've spent any time in the dog world, you've heard it all when it comes to e-collars. But how much of it is actually true, and how much is recycled myth that refuses to die?
In this episode of the e-collar mini series, Jack Laurence and dog trainer Max O'Neil bring the biggest misconceptions surrounding modern e-collars. From the idea that they're just glorified shock devices, to the belief that they're a shortcut for owners who can't be bothered to train properly, Max breaks down what's fact, what's fiction, and what's somewhere in between.
You'll hear why the technology of today is worlds apart from the tools of decades past, why so many of the loudest critics have never actually used one, and why the way an e-collar is used matters far more than the device itself.
Whether you're a sceptic, a curious owner, or someone who's been told off for even considering one, this episode will challenge what you think you know and give you the facts to make up your own mind.
