| I too greatly disagree with the "electroshock therapy" - you're picking up buzz words with extreme emotional connotations there (over a treatment that is still currently used in the US with great success, if you want to get into that!) and transferring them to our dogs.
These are not electrodes placed on my dogs head. My dog is not shocked to the point of him passing out, his brain function is not altered. I am using physical stimulations on his skin to break his behavior, or to form it. And yes, I have used it where my dog has jumped and cried out - I'm not going to nag him with little tiny corrections, if he makes a severe infraction (almost catching a cat and ignoring my recall is such a thing), then he is going to get a high stim for that TO STOP HIS BEHAVIOR. No long lasting pain, no problems - he still gets excited to see his collar, he still loves it.
But this is neither here nor there...
