Nik_B 3,790 Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I'd agree with that Swampy. They have no place in a pet home where the owners are using them for basic shite like SIT, STAY, etc. The only time I'd consider using one would be if I'd had taken on an older dog with a penchant for hassling stock. Even then it would only be used as a last resort, the last step before a one way trip to the vets.. I do agree with as you say a last resort. Out of interest has anyone ever come accross someone using it for basic commands? I wouldn't personally want to use one but if my dog was at risk of being put down for it's behaviour then I can imagine it's the lesser of two evils. Killing a dog has to be the very last resort. Oh as an after thought the RSPCA don't have a problem killing dogs wierd eh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
