Dog Health Questions: Dog Training Collars?

Does anyone have any experience with these type of collars?

I am not convinced about this "muscle contraction using electric impulses" business. Does the collar give electric shocks? If so, can they be regulated?

I am having some issues with my 3 year old GSD, and the last thing I want to do is inflict pain or discomfort on my baby. I would rather put up with some of her undesirable behaviours than hurt her.

Recommended Answer:
It is an electric training collar, so yes, it will shock her. I would recommend a basic obedience class (which will cost less than this collar for 8 weeks) and, if the trainer recommends it, a prong collar. Avoid PetsMart and similar classes, instead find an obedience training club or a professional trainer that actively shows their dogs in obedience, agility, etc.
