re: Dog training help - teaching a retriever to hold after retrieve

Reinforcement by pain doesn't work on some dogs. Pinching ears and shock collars didn't work at all for my dog. Verbal negative and positive comments worked the best.
That being said, don't force it on the dog. If she doesn't go with it, don't push it. You could end up mentally damaging her. Just try another technique.
When I used to scold or slap my dog, I always made sure to wait a couple of minutes and then make nice with him. I wanted him to know that I wasn't happy at that specific thing, not angry with him in general

I just started walking away when mine did that. I tried to act like I was ignoring him, and it worked.
He would pick it up and try and bring it to me so I would keep throwing it.

Agreed, but it helps to know your dog and what they respond best to.
Seen a lot of dogs scarred for life by overzealous shock collars.
Da Hammer can provide some info as well.

I don't know how a shock collar is supposed to be used but I have seen two people ruin a dog with a shock collar. The buzzed it out of anger at the dog.
