recomndations for a training collar.

I find its just useful for them to know they are still your controll even if they are 50-100yards away.    My little brother's girlfriend that had a visala. dog didn't listen at all unless the collar was on... the collar rarely had any batteries, but still managed control.

Tri-tronics sport basic G3. My dog would chase flyers, tweety birds, other dogs on the other side of the field and couldn't turn her. I broke her in like the instruction video recommended. Only used the collar once in the field and problem was solved (super glad by the way). She always wears the collar, though, for insurance.
