Training dogs...springers

edited February 2004 in General Discussion
On a recent visit to a Dog training school, I was told that they use remote collars to train the dogs they have. Is this a humane way to train pets? I'm debating wether to drop $200 on something that I know very little about. Does anyone here have any experience with dog training? I could use some pointers.

BTW, Is it me or does my springer never get tired?

be safe,

John

    We used one a little to train Bailey -- It only took a couple times & as soon as she heard the beep that is emitted before the shock she followed the commands. Ours you can use sound, shock or both
    She is starting to slip a little so I will have to dig it back out & remind her who is boss ( winder if it would work on PA[}:)]

    Ours loves to chase a light, flashlight or reflection off something sunny out side --- try it -- it works to tire Bailey out !

    I have a friend who has a springer. last time he brought it over the damn dog (AKA speedfreak) spent 45 seconds in my goldfish pond(3' by 8'). It took me 5 minutes to find a doxen goldfish in the lawn.
    The only positive thing was when they left the mutt took one last dip before leaping in their car. Did my heart good.lol
