Recommend a shock collar for me

As you’ve learned, if you’re using an e-collar for something like you’re describing, it’s worth spending money on a decent collar so you know it’s going to consistently work when you press the button. That’s the primary difference between cheap collars and good ones. You can get a base model Sport Dog for $150ish and they’re very good collars.

"Recommend a shock collar for me"

I'd recommend trying to find another way to correct your bad habits...I tried my dogs shock collar on myself one time and that shite hurt....maybe you can talk to a professional and they can help you quit whatever it is you want to shock out of your system???

I don't have a recommendation....my Lab loves her shock collar....she behaves pretty good when its on the shelf but when its on and she knows she can enjoy a good jolt anytime she wants....she will want one on the regular. She is a kinky bitch.....I think she has some chessie or English pointer in her gene pool because she is a pointing lab and hard headed as hell....

Sounds like it worked. What brand and model was it?

I bought one on Amazon for $40 to try it out and see how my dog reacts. I live along a highway and don't want to be constantly worried. He's done really well and I'm only using the beeping and vibration mode to get his attention. After only a few days I can let him out my house and he won't take off running toward the highway. I can verbally correct him and he listens.

Stick with garmin or dogtra, bottom models will serve you well. Order from gundogsupply.com and read/watch the instructions on use.
Would go through entire obedience sequence for best results long term.
You only need to teach sit, “Stay” is redundant so leave it out.
Here/Heal/Sit are all you need.
Let us know how it goes with updates please.

It did! I learned my lesson. It is one that is branded by Gundogsupply but it is made by Sportdog. I don't think they are selling their own brand any longer but the Sportdog is still available...

Dated a girl that would’ve loved for me use one on her.

Dogtra is good, as is the mini-educator. Both can be purchased from Amazon or gundogsupply.com

But most importantly, please take the time to learn how to use an ecollar. They are great tools for proofing a command but should not be used to teach a dog anything. Your dog has to understand the rules before you apply pressure/correct for inappropriate behavior.
I highly recommend leerburg.com videos, Michael Ellis in particular.

Whatever brand you get, make sure it’s the highest voltage possible. Make sure it fits snug in your neck. Give a few jolts just to make sure it’s working properly. Then on command hold the button down.

I use a Garmin TriTronics. I like it a lot. I very seldom ever shock my dog. I use the tone and vibration option instead. She responds well to those.
