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.

Force fetch did not work on my GSP.
However, it is important for a dog to get comfortable with holding a bird. They need to get accustom to the taste of the bird and breathing while holding it.
I just hold the bird in his mouth and hold his muzzle shut. I have to do it the first hunt of every year.

My dog had a shock collar on him for one single day and that was enough for me. Couldn't even feel it until 7, and when I turned it up to 9, he'd piss everywhere.
Got rid of it and did the training the old way. Worked perfectly in my opinion. I've only had, to hit him twice from age 2 to 7, which is pretty fricking good in my book. I don't put up with any amount of insubordination either

if you want your dog to be at heel when they release the bird.....that is advanced. if you just want to be able to take it from them, take a couple of steps back as your dog approaches, take the bumper/duck from them with the command to drop/give. praise the heck out of them. they will get the hang of it after a few sessions.
once you are getting that you can move to the holding through heel command.

Problem is most don't know how to use an e-collar properly. If trained properly you should never have to "shock" correct your dog, all your corrections should be at the recognition level. If you use this as only a high level correction you should take it off your dog.
