Mom feels that with proper training and work, shocker collars shouldn't be necessary. You still look like a baby with lots of learning to do. Basic obidience classes would help you learn drop it and leave it... and leave the shocker collars behind.

My mom agrees 100%. Negative training (punishment) is completely unnecessary and only creates a fearfull (could turn agressive) dog. Please tell you parents to get you into some positive training classes (I recommend DogGoneConnection) so that they can learn how to teach you without pain or fear.

My mom agrees with Roo's mom.
Alittle training and letting you grow up a bit more will help. You don't want to break Mylee's "spirit" with the shock collar. Beagles are stubborn so we require more training. Mom feels that my first owner "over did it" with me when I was a pup.
I have issues with some situations that makes mom sad.
I will "freeze" in place (so to speak) when I think I did something wrong. Sometimes it's the family members that need to be retrained....so we all can play and work happily together.

I have gone to obidience class. But the main reason for the shock collar is because I sometimes go potty inside the house. And it's on my mommie's carpet so she gets upset with me.

Gee Mylee...I really feel bad for you. You get stuck with the shock collar way too much. I wasn't potty trained when I came to live with my mom. Yes, I had accidents in the house but mom didn't put that awful collar on me. I don't understand how it does any good with the potty training. My family just worked alittle harder with me to get me to go potty outside all of the time. Good luck...

They don't really use it anymore I've learned my lesson. Plus the bttery isn't working so it doesn't work.

You poor baby. You need some positive reinforcement. I'm a puppy and still potty in the house occassionally. My family would NEVER shock me. A stern NO, and being taken outside IMMEDIATELY is enough. Please don't use that shock collar anymore, throw it away. It's not going to do anything be make her fearful and on guard for the next shock. Reward her when she's doing somethign right. Dogs do not understand punishment. You're just a baby!

Have your parents taken any training on the proper use of the collar? since they are calling it a shock collar, perhaps not. I use an ecollar in training and have done so for 2 years. I took a two day seminar on its use. It is not meant to be used as a punishment. It is meant to be used as a reinforcer for training. Shocking a dog will most likely get a behavior, but at what cost and I don't see how it can be used in potty training as you have .37 seconds to give the dog a yes or no signal that its behavior was either what you wanted or what you didn't want, so unless they are shocking you RIGHT as you pee, it isn't working. If they are shocking you as you pee, they should pick you up and run you outside, give you LOTS of praise when you pee outside and perhaps a tasty treat.

I don't think you should train any other way for potty training than crate training and positive reinforcement. You are so young also, give yourself more time and patience. Potty training comes with a puppy.
