    Oh yeah, and we have some (what I believe are) pretty nice shock collars. Is the use of collars frowned-upon or accepted and used?

    I use a whistle for retriever work but I'm not sure what you would need one for anything related to house dog obedience. I guess maybe to recall your dog if you let him play outside in a large area. E-collars, when used properly, are a great tool. My advice is to educate yourself on how to properly condition the dog to respond to the stimulation. Don't just strap it on and start pushing buttons.

    All I did was mine was consult Mark Fulmer in Aiken on Clicker training as well as watch all the standing stone kennel videos on youtube for place, heal, sit and come. I found clicker training 15 minutes a day for a couple months to be a great method.

    Basic dog training with most dogs requires very little pressure either manually or with an e-collar. Commands are usually taught manually first, then conditioned and transitioned to e-collar. If you want to use the e-collar get someone to show you how to use it correctly. Books and internet are a poor substitute for in person instruction. In 10-15 minutes a day, you can make a huge difference.
