A good brand of dog shock collars?
So I had allready asked this question but I wasnt getting the answers I was looking for.. I have a 7 month old puppy who has a very bad problem with going on the road. I have never used a shock collar be for but Im tired of keeping my dog penned up and i know its not good for him. He’s just a puppy so he does not respod to the "come" command yet except when he wants to. so as you can see if he ran on the road and dosnt come when i call i might no longer have a dog. we live by a very busy highway. as for using the shock collar when he dosnt come when called: he is part beagle so he loves to chase rabbits wich makes it harder for me to catch him. I think a collar would help correct that! i would only use it when needed extreamly. now please just answer my question and no scoldings

Get the Sportdog brand -And learn how to use it correctly the ‘recall’ MUST be taught. Something Ifound– the dogs learnthat the remote in your hand means they can get zapped, so keep the remote out of sight- make him think HE is causing the ‘hit’ by running away from you.

I wonder why you can not invest in a secured yard for the dog.
Sounds like he would be better off in a new home with a yard

I recommend Dogtra collars as they have a vibrate and a highly variable shock setting so you can fine tune it for your dog. The one I have has 100 settings. I would have a trainer show you how to use it properly so you don’t actually do more harm than good. I use it on my lab mixes when we visit my grandma’s twice a year so they can go swimming and I can keep them from chasing cows which is a BIG doggie No-No in rural areas.

Like alot of the other answers, I would recommend a fence. We got an underground fence for our dog that liked to wander (we live on 80 acres). The dog knew where the fence was, and if he wanted to go past it, he would. He would get into a full run and jump over the fence, no matter how much it shocked him. All the fence did, was make him not able to get back home after he crossed it, because he was afraid to come back over the line.

You are not getting the answers you want? Is that because you refuse to admit that your puppy does NOT need a e-collar, but you need the assistance of a professional pet trainer?
At 7 months old your pup should have a pretty good recall. It is your failing that this is not the case, and shocking your puppy into obedience is not the answer, especially since you seem to be rather clueless about training to begin with. Why isn’t this poor pup on a leash if he won’t come when called?????
Hire a professional so you don’t ruin the da*n dog. Or buy a fence to keep the dog safe. Beagles are well known for wandering off with their noses to the ground. That is what they were bred for, so it seems you didn’t do any research before you got your pup, either.
